We had a great time with the Cozymeal cooking class. Marc was a lot of fun, and the space was cozy, well-organized, and felt like home. It was the perfect setting to cook and bond. The recipes were simple (thanks to Marc’s prep work) and everything turned out delicious. We also appreciated that Marc was happy to let us take our time enjoying the dinner and accommodated the extra time.

We made a cake and a few pastries! The class was very intersting and fun. Marc really made the class enjoyable. I typically walk away with one or two good takeaways from cooking classes that I have taken in the past but I learned SO MUCH more from Marc in this class! He explained everything so well while making the experience intersting and fun and DELICIOUS!! I have already recommended this class to several people!! The class itself was very well orgonized and the space is very clean with a nice eating area. Really had a great experience and will try other classes as well!

Distinctive Tastes of Thailand

Kamilla, our chef was informative, attentive and very personable. She helped us make such easy yet rich flavorful Thai food. I liked that we got the option taste each food one at
A time. The cooking class was everything I hoped for and more! We only had 3 tables which gave private feel which was perfect for my boyfriend’s birthday gift. However, one thing is that one of the participants turned out to be a live streamer and he was distracting. Chef and the class was perfect, but may be in the future, you pre-screen participants to see if they plan on bringing a full production. Otherwise, thank you for a wonderful experience!! Thank you, Kamilla!!!

We had an amazing sushi cooking experience to celebrate my husband’s birthday. From the very beginning, they responded very quickly to messages and were always available and attentive. The experience was fun, pleasant, and truly special. I was very grateful for the opportunity to learn about the origins of everything and a bit of the history behind sushi, which made it even more meaningful. I would definitely do this again in the future and highly recommend it.

This was by far one of the favorite classes my mom and I have ever taken, and we’ve done quite a few! Chef Marc was an absolute delight. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The class framework was thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly well-executed.
What truly sets this class apart is the attention to detail. Every aspect of the experience was immaculate. From the clear directions to the venue (complete with a contact number), to the interior setup, comfortable room temperature, and beautifully presented stations. The kitchen tools were high quality, ingredients were neatly laid out with laminated table cards, and even the table settings were on point.
And as someone who comes from both an operations and creative background, I have to say: Chef Marc's recipe template is hands-down the best I’ve seen from any chef-led class. Every detail felt intentional and appreciated, no stone left unturned.
Bravo, Chef Marc! This class deserves a standing ovation.

We weren’t exactly sure what to expect, but it was an awesome experience. We made sushi with Kamilla and it was soooo fresh, tasty, and fun! We really enjoyed learning different techniques and trying so many variations of sushi. It was a great time (and a lot of food - go hungry)! The cooking space was nice, too.
