The chef Patrick was not the chef. The entire thing was very disorganized and unprofessional.There was not enough dough for everyone and the teacher did not know what she was doing. The croissants did not come out at all like croissants! False advertising!

Chef Malcolm did a great job! We had a fun and the food came out well.

Great. We left with lots of leftovers!

We did the pasta cooking class and there were pros and cons. The pros were it was relaxed enough to accommodate our big group straggling in after hitting a huge traffic jam on the pike, since there wasn't all that much to actually do, so starting late you could still catch up. The con is the other side of that coin; not having much to do; basically each table of 4 people was making one dish, so at each step one person could do it. (We all took turns, and during the 2.5 hour class I did 2 tasks myself). For the money, and compared with other cooking classes, I think usually you get to actually *do more* rather than just watch along. There was also a ten minute break to shop in the store and sample the coffee. This might have felt more natural if our dish had used something in particular the store sells. I get that this is probably an arrangement/perk that agrees to hold the classes there in exchange for getting people walking around and maybe shopping. Maybe it could even just be phrased as a 10 minute bathroom break if people need it, and feel free to stretch your legs and browse if you want? Our chef was someone different from Chef Josh- she seemed relatively green as far as instruction, but friendly and nice, which I appreciate. Sometimes just a smidge too friendly(?); most people came to the class in groups and liked talking with each other throughout the class since it's sort of a social activity, and when she would circulate she would stay and start get-to-know-you conversations which kind of impeded our catching up with each other. No regrets though- I wouldn't necessarily recommend this class to someone else, but I also wouldn't tell them to run the other way- it was fine.

Hello Check Josh- I am writing to request a refund for the class I took on Monday March 4 at 7:00 pm at the Natick Mall with Claire. I did careful research to find the class and ready many reviews. I picked yours because of the ambiance that clients raved about, and the cooking tips that you give. Claire was very efficient, but appeared in a rush to leave and made it feel that the entire experience was an inconvenience to her. Instead of being informative and engaging, she seemed eager to leave and annoyed by the concept of a one-off cooking class. She first started by saying that we should get started because it was a school night for her. Imagine a cooking class starting and you already feel that the instructor wants to go home. There were many comments along the way that were sarcastic towards the class. For example, she said she left the broccolini leaves on the stems because вЂњyou all need something to do". She also made comments that were judgemental towards past students such as " let me know if you have any dietary restrictions before we start cooking because sometimes people tell me they are allergic to (some ingredient I forget), when the name of the class has (that ingredient) in it" . Or "sometimes people will tell me they are gluten free but what can I do when we are making hand rolled pasta?" There were no tips except had to hold a knife. I felt I was following instructions like a child without any bigger context. At one point I did ask what the bigger picture and objective was of each step and she said I would see what it all comes together. I told her that is not how I learn. She then gave a very quick and hasty explanation of why we fry when we braise but she said it so fast that I retained nothing. When we asked what the parsley is for she said its there because this is supposedly an 'Italian' meal. The meal did taste good and it was efficient, but I was really paying for learning cooking, and I learned nothing, and the entire time felt I was inconveniencing Claire. I have no judgements on her character as a person, but I am extremely clear that the way she fulfilled the role as a cooking instructor last night was incredibly inappropriate and frustrating. Please let me know how I can receive my full reimbursement. I had bought two tickets, one for me, and one for my friend. It was her birthday. I am a teacher in Boston public schools and told my colleagues I was attending the class last night. They were excited about the notion and then shocked by what I experienced. I hope to rectify my report back to them by letting them know that you promptly and fully addressed my concerns. Many thanks, Aida asadr@gmail.com

I almost feel bad leaving this review, because it should not reflect Chef Josh but the Cozymeal team. Terrible experience using this site from start to finish and wish I had not booked this experience. When booking this event for a Teambuiliding with my employees, I selected "Boston Proper", and was surprised after booking when the location was Natick, MA which is very much a suburb of Boston. I went ahead with the event anyway, and when I received the event information I was given the event location name of "Cooking Creations" which I passed along to my team with the directions. We assumed this was an independent company as these events are advertised to be with private chefs, and were very disappointed when we arrived at the Mall. We started looking for "Cooking Creations" which could not be found. Some of the members of my team did some Google searching to figure it out as I called the coordinator who booked our event, Lauren. She had no idea where to send me and transferred my call to Customer Service. Some of the folks from my team who were able to navigate their way there before the rest of us informed me the staff was not happy we were late and were quite rude to them about it. I can understand their frustration, but better directions were necessary from Cozymeal. We did not get to enjoy the class due to a work situation that required immediate assistance. However, it would not have been worth it at that point considering how late we were. False advertising and poor instructions made this a very uncomfortable experience.
