Booked the class Authentic Japanese Comfort Classics with Chef Tess in Downtown Portland (Rosemont)
We had a great time at this class. Chef Tess was very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. We are pretty beginner-level, but she gave a mix of tips for beginners and for more advanced chefs. She was also a lot of fun to work with - telling funny stories and jokes and helping the whole group stay engaged. All of the food was delicious, and she provided all of the recipes so that we can make everything at home. We would take a class with her again. :)

10 stars. I'm honestly still full of joy from our evening with Tess. Thank you, thank you, thank you. She is real, she is raw, she is COMFORTABLE. Aside from being fking FULL of knowledge, she is absolutely hilarious. There was not a single second where I felt out of place in my first ever cooking class. For some of us, it takes a lot to step out of our comfort zone to learn a new skill in front of a group of strangers, and not once did I worry about how others saw me or what Chef Tess thought of me as well. I left with confidence, a full belly, and I cannot wait to cook this meal for my family! Thank you, chef. I'll be booking another class ASAP.

Chef Tess entertained us with humor and delightful anecdotes of her culinary past. We laughed throughout the coarse and learned valuable tricks of the trade. I am already looking forward to booking another session very soon as everything turned out delicious. The cherry on top was the fun dessert. Thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable experience!

Both me and my wife had an excellent time cooking with Chef Tess. She is inviting, funny, warm, and knowledgeable. The food we were guided to prepare was amazing... so many layers of flavor. Although we took a Thai class, I do believe Chef Tess's techniques and people skills would make any class she teaches fun and delicious. I would recommend Chef Tess to anyone looking for these things. Congratulations and best wishes with the pregnancy!

Chef Tess was amazing! Very personable and relatable - great conversation and super friendly! She walked us through each step, but yet still "cooking on the fly" which personally, we love (I never follow recipes). Everything turned out wonderful and I am greatly looking forward to testing my hand at some of these recipes. Excited to book another soon!

Booked the class Comfort Classics with Chef Tess in Downtown Portland (Rosemont)
I purchased time with Chef Tess as a Mother's Day present for my wife. Myself, my wife and our 14 year old daughter all went to her home in Los Gatos. Pros: Chef Tess is very personable, knowledgeable and patient with newbies. She explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it. The food was fantastic and it felt great knowing we had a hand in making the food so delicious. We even came home and purchased our first whole chicken and broke it down expertly a couple days later thanks to the instructions of Chef Tess. Cons: The kitchen was VERY small for 5 guests plus the chef. Through no fault of Chef Tess, it happened to be one of the hottest days of the year, and unfortunately the home had no AC. I thought the knives were dull and could have used some sharpening, but that might be on purpose so us newbies don't chop off a finger. :) The dessert didn't come together, again due to the hot weather and challenges associated with it being one of the hottest days of the year. Overall I highly recommend Chef Tess though and have given 5 stars to this experience.

Chef Tess is AWESOME--we had her in our home in SF for a cooking class with my husband and I. She's respectful, funny and accommodates to your level of skill of cooking. She's an easy conversationalist and a great teacher. Booking through Cozymeal is not so awesome, but if you are willing to stick with it to finally book the event you want than it's worthwhile and ask for Chef Tess!

Chef Tess is absolutely amazing. From her flexibility in scheduling to her casual but information lacked teaching style. The class was one of the most fun evenings me and my wife have had in a very long time . I would recommend any of her cooking classes as a perfect date night treat for any couple . She made us feel welcome and a part of her family, and treated us as such. Three cheers for Chef Tess we can't wait to schedule another great session with you.

Our family had an amazing experience with Chef Tess! She came to our home and expertly taught us how to make gnocchi and the other items on the menu while entertaining us with her grace and wit. We learned some great cooking tips while working hands in in the kitchen together and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Lots of laughter and fun--and good food! This was a birthday gift for my foodie husband and he was super excited! Have to say - great experience all around.
Booked the class Gourmet Mediterranean Buffet with Chef Tess
We truly loved Chef Tess. We ordered her catering services (full-service/chef-attended) where she prepared a delicious Oxtail ragut alongside a bruschetta appetizer, a refreshing salad and a very tasty dessert. With every dish, she would give us a short introduction which made the experience even more special - like a chef's table. I give her 5 stars for service, food, and presentation.

We would sign up again.

Booked the class Healthy Mexican Feast with Chef Tess in Downtown Portland (Rosemont)
Chef Tess was completely prepared and prepared an amazing healthy Mexican dinner for five. She included my teenage niece and nephew in the preparation and was very patient in teaching them technique and flavoring. It was a most memorable, relaxed and tasty family-style gourmet dinner. She is very modest about her extensive experience with some of the best chefs in the United States. It was an unbelievable treat to have her in our home.

Chef Tess is as talented with food as she is charming and funny. She made everything seem really approachable, and it was great to ask her questions about techniques and ingredients (without feeling silly). I couldn't stop eating the pizza! Her tomato-chile jam with burrata was also incredibly delicious.
Booked the class Making Pasta From Scratch with Chef Tess in Downtown Portland (Rosemont)
Tess was super nice and funny! Her personality is a 5 star for sure! The reason for the 3 is because there was supposed to be a a variety of options to make ands there was only one. We ended up making an additional one that was listed because people wanted it. Also, she has a pretty foul mouth- not really a big deal for us but for others it could be.
