Booked the class Pasta Making Like a Pro with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Great class! It was slightly unorganized at the start, but I believe it was because it was the last class right before a major holiday. I learned more in this class than in the other cooking classes in general. Well done!

Christopher C. 12/23/2024

Booked the class Global Holiday Fusion with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Class was Great. Food was good

Sanjeev M. 12/23/2024

Booked the class French Winter Feast - Date Night with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

The class was excellent. Both in terms of how clear and easy to follow the instructions were, value for money and how well the recipes turned out. Yes, I know that in this age and times, you have plenty of resources to learn anything, especially cooking, but nothing beats the experience of doing it by yourself, handling the ingredients, mixing up things and creating an Instagram worthy, restaurant quality masterpiece. Chef Shameem (I hope I am not mixing up her name) was excellent with her clear instructions and also kept a watchful eye on everyone to make sure the fine line between a great creation and also-ran is not crossed. Overall experience: Great!

Booked the class Classic Dim Sum Specialties with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Chef Andrea was an excellent instructor. I especially appreciated that after she would display how to pleat the siu mai and har gow skin, she came around each table to give assistance to those who needed help. Also, qwhen the har gow flour didn't work out, she was prepared for plan B. Her helpers also helped make the class run smooth. The class was fun!!!

Tena A. 08/04/2024

Booked the class Thai Summer Flavors with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Chef Andrea and her team were amazing! We had so much fun! I would suggest a smaller class or bigger tables. We were fortunate to have 2 at our table. The tabels who had 4 people, had 2 cutting boards, and shared ingredients. I would have been disappointed. Over all we had a great experience.

AMY D. 02/28/2026

Booked the class Craft Beginner Dumplings with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Had it been posted the class was in Palo Alto I never would have signed up for it. Iâ€™ve taken many classes there in the past year and it hasnâ€™t been a good experience. I was very disappointed this was not stated up front.

Ylan Tran . 01/05/2026

Booked the class The Art of Ramen with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

We cooked Ramen in Palo Alto William Sonoma store with Chef Michael. I was a part of Adam's group of 10. The noodles were not edible but the broth and pork were delicious. Due to the rubbery noodles, there was mention of receiving a refund but we have not heard back yet. Thank you.

Booked the class Italian Classics - Family Fun with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Not a good cooking class. Venue was tight. Chef was pushy and rushed. We skipped making ice cream

brianna t. 02/25/2025

Booked the class Paris in Winter - Date Night with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

this class wasnt what we expectedâ€¦ to start off, we had a resident chef, but we thought it would be chef andrea. itâ€™s not too hands on as the resident chef would pick out one person to do a task while the rest of the group watched. we thought we would be in small pairs at our own stations actually making the meal. on top of that, the resident chef forgot one guy was cooking the steaks and didnt give him any directions as to when they should be done. so they were burnt and almost well done. overall, very disappointing experience.

Boya Q. 09/23/2024

Booked the class Timeless Culinary Tools and Techniques with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

A sub chef at last minute. No teaching necessarily but just follow the process. Not good. Kitchen was overcrowded with people without stove. We were paired with strangers and not enough things for people to work on. We didnâ€™t even end up having a piece of ribs for ourselves at all! Very much below expectations.

Khushboo S. 08/25/2024

Booked the class Seasonal Summer Specialties with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

I would say that the description of the event were not clear. It did not mention that we would be divided into teams and wouldnâ€™t get to do all the steps ourselves to learn better. The experience could have been better. Most of the steps were done by the chef and the rest had to be divided among 4-5 people. I have attended cooking classes before, and we get to do all steps ourselves which helps grasp and learn better. Other than that, chef Andrea was sweet. She answered everyoneâ€™s questions and was also open to teaching knife skills to some that were new.

Aaron C. 08/19/2024

Booked the class French Bakery Favorites with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

As other reviews have said, it's chaotic with a full class of 16. The instructions were unclear sometimes; it seemed like the chef was doing the recipes for the first time and reading from the printout. We still haven't received the recipes - apparently if you register through Cozymeal, the recipes are either delayed (so far) or never sent (if we don't get them soon). I asked the chef, and she said that if you register through Cozymeal, it takes another day or two, but we still haven't seen 'em.

Owen J. 08/11/2024

Booked the class Romance in Tuscany - Date Night with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

We were paired up with another couple so really only got to cook less than half a meal. Pretty disappointed for something entitled â€œromanticâ€ and â€œdate nightâ€. Just be upfront about this in the description.

QIAN RU T. 07/09/2024

Booked the class French Sweets with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula

Honestly this shouldnt be promoted, charging customers a Chef pricing but giving us someone completely different. What's the point of selling your profile if you are not available? The group is also larger than 16 people. Big crowd in a small kitchen. Not recommended at all.

Tiffany 12/13/2023

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

Terri 12/13/2023

This was a fun and wonderful class. The recipes were delicious . Chef Chris was a true professional chef. She gave little inside tips, was very good at explaining the recipes. I would take another class with Chef Chris!

JaNishia 12/13/2023

Chef Tanya and Jake, the cooking instructors, were terrific! They not only shared valuable tips for cooking but also for prepping and cleaning the station. I was thrilled with the class and can't wait to sign up for another one. If you're interested, book your spot on a Saturday or Sunday.

Delia 12/13/2023

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious. Ready to register for my next class. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Mallory 12/13/2023

Excellent class. Good food, great instruction.

Heidi 12/07/2023

Very helpful and informative, would definitely take other classes. Really enjoyed being able to ask questions along the way.

Marianne 12/04/2023

It was excellent. It was very hands on, and the class was small. Justin, the chef that was the class instructor, is a fantastic, hands on teacher.

Heather 12/04/2023

This class was fun and educational for my daughter and her friend. They both learned some techniques and were given appropriate attention.
