Had fun and learned a lot. Would do it again. Thank

Very well run class, it was fun and I liked how chef threw in all kind of cooking tips while we were cooking. Thank you for all you and your staff did to make it happen. I would suggest that you add more time to the class or remove one of the dishes from the menu, it was too much too rushed. Thank you for the recipes too. I signed us up for another class this spring ..

Chef Daniel was such a fun and engaging chef! We had a great time and learned a lot even in such a short amount of time.

Great class. Chef was entertaining and engaging. Good food. Disappointed the recipes are not available nor emailed.

Great class! Chef YaYa and her sous chef Leroy had everything under control and was full of knowledge around the kitchen. Instructions were easy to follow and the food turned out amazing. We were able to bring a bottle of wine for my husband and I to share. It definitely brought our date night to the next level.

We had a great time! It was a fun, different date night idea and the chef and team were very professional, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable. That said, I do think itâ€™s a little pricey for whatâ€™s included, especially considering that no drinks were provided, and this wasnâ€™t communicated in advance. Since it was our first time, we didnâ€™t know to bring anything to drink. It would be helpful if that was mentioned when booking. Overall, a really nice evening â€” just a small detail that would make the experience even better!

The experience was fun and we learned a lot. My only issue was my chicken was not cooked completely and I was not able to eat it. Everything else was great.

I had Chef Meribeth during the Italian pasta making course. She was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and overall great to work with. Her directions were easily understood and the meal came out wonderful. She allowed us to customize our pasta sauces to taste exactly how we wanted and the gelato making lesson was insightful. I would 100% recommend taking one of her classes. I already signed up for my next one. Thank you Chef!

Pamela

Please email me the recipes..Thank you ..really enjoy it!!!

Very fun experience. Seemed a little bit rushed trying to get it all done before 9pm when event was over. Worthwhile for sure though! Trying to get the recipe so we can recreate at home.

Jennifer

The class was great, the chef and helpers did a great job. Everything was so organized and the food was excellent.

I learned a lot and the experience was fun (plus the food was yummy)! However, they were running late setting up which resulted in a rushed experience. Especially at the end it felt like they were really rushing us and I didnâ€™t get to eat as much as I would have liked. Then I wasnâ€™t allowed to take any home even though there was so much left!

Carolyn Miller

Can't remember his name, but he was super patient and detailed. Very nice to work with.

Jasmin Huang

The class was easy to follow and the food was delicious! Megan did a great job leading us through each step and the pace was perfect â€” not too fast and not too slow, happy to answer questions and explain things so we knew not just what to do, but why we were doing it. Thank you so much for the experience!

This class was phenomenal. I really enjoyed it.

As usual, this was a great experience. I would recommend their cooking classes to learn, eat great food, and have a great experience.

The long and short is this class fell extremely short of expectations. The chef had never prepared Asian cuisine before, he had no idea what he was doing and he didnâ€™t show or explain what he was doing so we spent most of the class asking what we were supposed to be doing. The helpers also provided little to no support and typically provided conflicting guidance. Please see the review posted via the QR code for details

Autumn

This was my first experience at a cooking class. Our chef was very friendly and informative. I was not pleased that we felt rushed towards the end of the evening. We were also told that we couldnâ€™t take any of the leftover food (there was a lot) home with us and that usually the staff share it.

My husband and I wanted to do a cooking class for our 10th anniversary. We love sushi so when I saw Sur la table offered one we were so excited. We took a pasta making class together in Italy and I took a baking class back in NY. We were hoping for the same experience but it didnâ€™t even come close. The â€œChefâ€ was at another table with our backs to him, he was confused about what we were making, he left us to try and figure it out on our own and only as a last option did he come over to help. He seemed more interested in the sales pitch to take more classes and shop than teaching us how to make sushi. Our class only had 4 people because 2 people didnâ€™t show up, so you would think we would have gotten more one on one teaching. Wrong. He was more concerned about the class coming in after us. We ran out of tuna but he had all the tuna at his station that he made plus what the 2 people that didnâ€™t show up would have used but he didnâ€™t want to let us use any of it saying this is for the next classâ€¦ He never showed us how to make the traditional sushi roll with the rice on the outside he just talked about it. We never received the email that had the recipes and directions either. When we booked this they talked about a chef with over 20 years experience. We got a kid who â€œhas worked in restaurants and went to culinary school and has been teaching classes for a year.â€

This class was an absolutely horrible experience, and I will be reaching out to Cozymeal for a refund. The class was held at Sur La Table in Raleigh (had I know that, I would have signed up with that retailer directly), and the instructor, Mary Beth, was nasty from the moment we walked into the room. There were 14 students in the demonstration room, broken into groups of four (one group had two, with two no-shows). Mary Beth chose one or two groups to favor, and others to ignore. It was so bad that during the break, several attendees were discussing her attitude. She embarrassed one student when that person asked a question that Mary Beth had addressed earlier, and belittled her. She ignored my son and myself completely. I point blank asked for help at one point, and she told me to â€œfigure it out.â€ She helped other groups improve their technique, and would walk by our group completely. This was the worst experience I have ever had at a cooking or baking class in my life. Horrible, horrible experience.

Hi Chef Megan - I dont believe we worked directly with you.....a couple of items for the low review. The head chef wasnt welcoming and very much felt like "welcome to bootcamp" with orders being yelled out and not the most friendly...we began the cooking experience at 7 pm and didnt end up eating until 9:45. Many of the preparation aspects were poorly timed and lead my wife and I being extremely hungry come time to eat. This was a beginner class and I hardly believe that this was a welcoming experience for new chefs looking to get excited about cooking given the time for preparation and the environment the head chef made for us. Needless to say, I will not be scheduling another meal with Cozymeal. There are many alternatives locally that have far greater reviews let alone have an earlier start for a more normal dining time. The food was fine however the environment created wasnt great.

The chef was truly skilled and the food was fantastic. However, we found the shared cooking pot and station with another couple to be a bit awkward. Rotating through the steps with four people significantly reduced the hands-on learning and made it difficult to fully engage with the instructions. We believe the experience would be greatly enhanced if each couple had their own cooking setup, allowing for a more personal and immersive experience.

I booked a Cooking class with my schizophrenic son who just got out of treatment and this was his gift for doing so well. Dealing with a grown man with this disease is hard enough but then I got the dates mixed up for this lunch and called 2 different people to explain my situation and no one would help. I booked for a party of 4 and almost $400 gone with no one caring enough to help me. I just got sorry your out of luck and absolutely no returns. It would be great to speak with someone about our situation and if I can do anything to get back $400 that we desperately need back because we are supporting an adult child with mental issues.

The food wasn't bad. After all I did make it lol. But, I asked for new dumpling wraps (5 of them) because mine were literally TOSSED on the table in front of me (instead of the cutting board) like everyone else's (mind you we had just been dealing with raw ground beef and no- one had wiped the tables) and I was INTERROGATED about why I wanted new wraps. It was very embarrassing. Like a teacher calling out a student in front of the classroom. The chef then said she would reuse them because the table wasn't that dirty. So, be forewarned.

Yolanda Richardson

I really wish the chef took more time helping out everyone. The work space was very small so we didnâ€™t have all items needed on work place. We had to work with another couple. Also it seem like the chef was a little perturbed during the class. When a group asked her a question she didnâ€™t know the word in English.

Elizabeth Williams

06/03/2024

The food was good. The class was meh. I really wish there were those large mirrors so that we could see the chef demonstrating what to do; instead she just told us to chop the veggies and went around helping individual people as needed. She would demonstrate something using one couple's ingredients but those across the room couldn't really see what she was doing. It was fun, but I probably wouldn't do it again. Also she said we would get the recipes via email and we never did.

We enjoyed our experience but we're disappointed about some things. We felt very rushed at the end and it had not even been 2 hrs. We understood it could be up to 2 and a half hours. We also had a lot of food left because we were rushed and asked if we could take our food to go. We were told no. The nicest restaurants in the world let you take your food. We were also told it included dessert, but there was no dessert.
