Cooking Class - Indonesian Flavor Fusion in Downtown Chicago

Excellent menu as well as great suggestions and background information.

The experience exceeded our expectations! The food was all so delicious and Chef made it very interactive, giving us a lot of culture and history behind each of the ingredients and dishes. (We gave tip directly to her)

Chef Titik is fantastic, both as a chef and entertainer. Her warmth comes through in her cooking and we even learned a few tips along the way!

Fantastic! Chef Titik is a wonderful host, delightful teacher, and phenomenal chef. She is a true pro: her cooking skills and techniques are terrific and everyone in our group learned something new. She kindly accommodated a vegetarian in our group without losing any of the flavors of the meal. And, finally, the food did not disappoint. Every dish was superb!

Chef Titik was phenomenal. Not only was the food she made absolutely delicious, it was very different from anything we had ever had. Her home is beautiful, and she went above and beyond to explain how to cook everything on our own, where to buy the ingredients, etc. Would highly recommend for any special occasion, or just as a great date :)

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Titik! She has a very inviting home and was patient and thorough when describing her cooking techniques. And best of all, the food was DELICIOUS. The Cozymeal experience with Chef Titik is the perfect way to spend a double date or girls night. Enjoy!

My boyfriend and I feel so lucky to have found Chef Titik. Her home was lovely, she was accommodating and fun to cook with, and the food blew us away. She has so much knowledge to share about all types of cuisines, and you can tell she cooks from the heart. Our night with her was the highlight of the week. We can’t wait to book her again. Thank you, Titik!

We cooked couscous with chicken shawarma, fresh hummus, and an incredible lemon olive oil cake! It was a lot of fun. Titik was awesome, friendly, and taught us some cool techniques didn’t know before. Made everything from scratch, even the shawarma spice for the chicken. Definitely will be back for another cuisine!

Her experience and knowledge of cooking is amazing! I took her french moroccan fusion class and was not disappointed!! If you're thinking of taking a class with her you should do it! You will love it!

My sister took me to this class for my birthday and I loved it! She cooks more than I do but everything we tried and made was delicious. I was very hungry when I came and was glad I could sample and try the vegetables as we were cooking. We had tomato soup abut halfway through the class. I really enjoyed the crostinis I had with them. We put lots of Parmesan cheese on top. I love cheese and eat a lot of it, this really made the soup taste good. I really like portobello mushrooms and was glad when they were in the main dish. We cooked those in the oven and got rid of the water. I had tried to make a mushroom en croute before and now I know that mushrooms release water when cooking which is why mine was not the best! We used caramelized onions and sautéed spinach two of my favorites. We used an egg to bind the pastry dough together. The potato au gratin and the demi-glaze sauce together was the best decision I made when eating my dinner after we cooked everything. The table was set beautifully when my sister and I came in. We brought the food to the table and enjoyed all our hard work. 10/10 would take this class again!

If you want to take this class please do!! You will not be disappointed! We made a wonderful tomato bisque soup, delicious potato au gratin and the fabulous main course was mushroom en croute. The desert really made the experience which was the poached pear in wine with spices. Everything was perfect. Chef Titik knowledge of different cuisines is amazing and seen in how she was cooking the whole time. We chopped, sautéed, minced, julienned and used all four burners on the stove at once! Very impressive! When sautéing and caramelizing the onions for the mushroom en croute we used balsamic vignette but also sampled Indonesian sweet soy sauce! Such a cool experience of flavors! I am not a vegetarian myself but still loved the class! We started by making the desert because of the length of time it was cooking. We sampled the wine the pears were poached in and it was delicious! This is great for the summer, you can use the wine for sangria as well! We had the soup half way through cooking the meal and it was to die for! My brother and myself both took seconds! The potato au gratin was so fun to make! You learn how to make a béchamel sauce from scratch and how to parboil things! A skill both of us will have with us forever. I really enjoyed making the demi-glazed sauce, this was a new experience for me and I didn't realize how many vegetables were involved. Overall a great experience! Took my brother for his birthday and absolutely loved it!

She went through with us step by step making a mango sparkling water drink with mint. Then went onto the best hummus I've ever had made with garlic as the extra ingredient. We then learned to make couscous and Chicken Shawarma which was delicious. It was so cool to make the spice mixture step by step smelling each ingredient as you put it in. We then made a lovely seafood stew to go along with the chicken. It was so cool I have never cooked with saffron before it was delicious! We made the cake first since it took an hour to bake. It was worth the wait!!! To finish we tried all the food we ate family style in her dining rom. She gave such a lovely cozy feeling. It was like cooking at home with my mom. She answered all our questions and had great knowledge of the food and region she was teaching us to make. 10/10 would book her again!

Chef Titik was incredible! So helpful breaking down cooking concepts into bite sized (pun intended) pieces. Cooking can and is scary in how complex it can be but Chef Titik does a great job making it simple. Explaining where to shop and how to implement different ingredients was super helpful. That being said she was incredibly patient and considerate. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great meal and a good time!

We had a fantastic time with Titik! We highly recommend this class! The food was fantastic and she is a wonderful teacher and person.
