Booked the class Farm-to-Table Feast with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Veggie meal with chef Patrick (not Paula). a great experience. only feedback is trying to use less plastic (small containers for ingredients and spoons for tasting).

Booked the class Expert Knife Skills with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

This was a knife skills class so we did not cook anything. We learned to cut using a big knife.

Booked the class Gourmet Beef Wellington - Date Night with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

My husband and I both enjoyed our cooking class experience with Chef Patrick and team. The location where it was held was great and the kitchen/room was set up perfectly for hands-on participation by everyone (about 16 participants). We were pleasantly surprised how much easier it was (than we thought it would be) to prepare Beef Wellington. Sides were simple, but paired nicely with Beef Wellington - the complete meal was delicious.

Booked the class Artisan Apple Pie with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

I took the pie baking class with Chef Carter and she was wonderful. She said she isn't a baker, but you certainly wouldn't know it. She was patient and kind and skilled.

Booked the class Expert Knife Skills with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Our expert knife skills with Chef Johnathan was wonderful! It was very informative and we got a lot of chances to practice. Making a pineapple salsa was a nice final challenge. The location inside the restaurant was very nice and it was easy to see the chef as he demonstrated. We were allowed to take home the practice chopped veggies to make stock at home if we wanted.

Monique . 07/17/2024

Booked the class Seasonal Flavor Exploration - Date Night with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Loved the experience! Chef was so personable and knowledgeable. Very warming atmosphere and recipes cooked and prepared were absolutely delicious. My only con would be the fact that you potentially have to share the space and foods being prepared with another couple/people. We were lucky enough to not have to do that but the other couples did just based on the way the stations were set up. But in all I would definitely return and enjoyed getting to shop afterwards.

The chef and the class was great. So often the experience depends on the people you are paired with. We were lucky this time.

Joyce F. 01/21/2024

Booked the class French Dinner For Two with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Loved the class! Abrar was so engaging and had a lot of suggestions for even the most experienced coach cooks. She was extremely organized and watched over each couple as we made a French meal of scallops with sides and a Pear dessert. A really fun night out. Sur La Tableâ€™s test kitchen in Bethesda was large and accommodated the 12 participants. We ended the night with a wonderful meal and packed the leftovers to take home. I will definitely be taking another class.

Penelope S. 03/20/2026

Booked the class Little Italy Comforts with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

If I could give this zero stars, I would. When we arrived, I was under the impression that we would all separately have our own ingredients and cook our own dishes. Instead, it was a group effort of four where we all had to â€œfigure it out ourselvesâ€ in regards to deciding who was going to do what. One piece of chicken per couple, not being able to properly coordinate who was taking care of what, barely any work space because we were all cramped on the bench, and a â€œdo what you want. This is your guys food.â€ We were not told that we would have to be sharing ingredients and working together. I am very disappointed with the outcome as I paid almost $200 to barely get work in and not have the hands on experience I was expecting.

Zach K. 10/13/2025

Booked the class Chocolate Desserts You Can Make Again with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Chef was funny and knowledgeable, wasn't exactly prepared for the class/recipe. Also admitted that he disliked baking + hadn't baked in a while throughout the class.

Carol B. 02/08/2025

Booked the class Crafting Authentic Italian Pasta Dishes with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Egg yolk ravioli too challenging and wasteful of many eggs Bolognese sauce was good, papperdelle ok, neither really special though. Would be better as well if each couple had their own station of ingredients rather than sharing these and tools back and forth with another couple

Geneive A. 01/26/2025

Booked the class Five-Star French Cuisine - Date Night with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

The entire experience was false advertising. First of all, the person leading the class was not Chef Paul or a chef at all. When selecting a class, I based my decision largely on the chef. Second, the lesson was totally rushed. Some parts of the meal were already prepared beforehand. We were so rushed we could not even learn along the way -- or hear the instructor -- how we were preparing the meal. We were told to take the instructions home and read them later. As a result, the "class" was 1.5 hours, not two hours as advertised, with an 8-minute break so the potatoes could cook. I could have stayed at home and read from a cookbook and had the same experience. For $100 per person, it came up short and I would like a refund.

Nicholas D. 09/30/2024

Booked the class French Patry Perfection with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

It was an OK experience. I did learn a couple things, mostly what not to do. The most important lesson was that humidity and/or temperature significantly affects pate choux preventing it from thickening, resulting in runny, unpuffed pastry. So, our eclairs were a catastrophe. Not sure if we will be back.

Kerry v. 09/29/2024

Booked the class Chef-Focused Feast with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

Paid for a booking for 5 but called on Fri as one had Covid. Called again this morning as second person was ill. When I checked in chef was quite rude as the person I spoke to hadnâ€™t told them. Also no one spoke to me about refund since first party size reduction was over 48 hours. When you pay almost $100 person you expect certain things. Safety is utmost. Took our mandolin protector to give to another group and told us offhandedly to use a towel. Spent 90% of the time dealing with that same group and got irritated when other groups asked for help. We had no salt and pepper, butter, some other ingredients were missing and again chef got annoyed with us. Unacceptable. Certain chefs may be great in the kitchen but not instructors. This was one of those occasions. Chef did not know recipe and so did not instruct well at all. Class ran over and recipes were not available. This class was disorganized and honestly expected much higher quality for . Will never attend or recommend this to anyone.

Jessica S. 07/22/2024

Booked the class Italian Summer Delights with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

No because the class was cancelled and I was not notified AGAIN, so I want a full refund and will never use Cozymeal again. Your communication is terrible and wasted my time

Carol F. 05/04/2024

Booked the class Dim Sum for Everyone with Chef Paula in North Bethesda (Pike & Rose)

The chef was excellent and the food was very good. But we noted that two of the stations had one attendee. These attendees did not have to share the setups and food among four people, they each got their own. Therefore they had double the amount of food given to everyone else even though they paid the same price for the class. This is not fair. I felt like we we should have received our money back for half the cost of the food.
