Purchased for my brother and his wife as a Christmas gift. They could not stop telling me how amazing the experience was and that they want to go back with my wife and I. They said Chef Francesca was a great teacher and an incredible host. Lastly, they said they don't know if they'll ever be able to eat Italian food again because the dishes they made at the class were so amazing.

Francessca was an excellent and patient teacher. She has first hand experience cooking Italian food not only from living there, but also working in some of the top Italian restaurants in LA. She brought all of that knowledge to our class, and it was so much fun.

Francesca warmly opened her home and taught us amazing Italian techniques that we will take into our own home for future meals. We had such a great time. We would definitely book again with family and friends. Also, we are now buying a pasta maker/kitchenaid for learning how to make it by hand and using a machine. Thanks for everything!

Absolutely wonderful time! We will be back!

Chef Francesca was an amazing instructor and storyteller. She made everything seem incredibly accessible and the food turned out amazing. She also was very accommodating to my dietary preferences and worked with us to help us pull together an amazing meal of fresh pasta, perfectly cooked fish and incredible tiramisu....from scratch!! Highly recommend Chef Francesca and the Cozymeal experience. :)

My husband and I had such a wonderful time learning from Chef Francesca! She was such a joy to chat with and the food we made was unbelievable, everything from the freshly homemade pasta to charcuterie, salad, and homemade tiramisu. I never had the desire to purchase my own pasta making machine until now and I definitely will do so. We will definitely be taking another class with her in the future!
