I brought my partner to celebrate his birthday and found this incredible course where we made pasta (my favorite) and NY steak which is my partner’s favorite. We had such a good time and enjoyed learning and cooking with Francesca. She’s an excellent chef who knows exactly how to prepare a 5 Michelin star meal. Everything was perfect, and the food was hands down one of the best I’ve had…and I consider myself a foodie with a sophisticated palette. Thank you Francesca for helping us make this a memorable experience!

My husband and I have been wanting to take a cooking class for awhile. We love steak and Italian food so much so Chef Francesca's Italian steakhouse class piqued our interest. The drive was reasonable to Torrance from South LA. Parking was easy. Her home was so cute and clean and charming! Chef Francesca is such a kind, focused and effective teacher and coach. My husband Jeremy and I got to share the workload evenly. What I loved was how easy and fast the recipes were and how easy it was to time everything out while keeping a clean kitchen. The food was superb and we had amazing leftovers the next day. We had an amazing time and would go back to her or try another class with Cozymeal. I even love how she teaches earlier so that she can be a present mom, just an awesome lady.
I feel like I can actually cook everything she presented. Please share with her or post so others know :)
Thanks a bunch!

Our Italian Steakhouse cooking class with Chef Francesca was fantastic! My partner and I booked it for our anniversary and had the best time. The class took place at her lovely home and we happened to be the only two participants for this class so it was extra special. We learned a lot, ate delicious food, and enjoyed Francesca's company throughout. We even had plenty of leftovers so it was well worth the price! We highly recommend this class and would definitely take another class from Francesca.
