I picked this class to celebrate my husband's birthday along with my daughters and a friend. I told Chef Eliza about it, and she was very sweet to even offer to make my husband's favorite appetizer. The experience was great, Chef Eliza keeps the class very entertaining, educational and the dishes are to die for! Thanks again for a great evening.

This was my first CozyMeal experience, so I can only say that Chef Eliza specifically was great. All courses were outstanding, and Eliza created an atmosphere that was simultaneously relaxed, fun, and educational/informative.

Eliza was a wonderful host, chef, and teacher. She brought so much positive energy and feedback to our lesson. She was also extremely kind and patient. We really enjoyed ourselves and feel like we made some friends along the way. We can’t recommend her enough and would probably do another class in the future or stop by her popup in Carlsbad.

Loved this evening of seafood! Chef Eliza is incredible. Not only is she a wonderful chef, she is personable, dynamic, and a great teacher. She is passionate about cooking and it is evident. Every single dish we made was delicious (especially the paella!!), and broken down step by step into digestible pieces. She showed us a few tricks of her craft as we made the dishes. It was really cool learning her tips on knife skills and how to clean seafood properly. She made each dish feel accessible - even though my husband and I are both novice cooks. Our party was left feeling inspired: we want to make all of these dishes for ourselves, family, and friends. Would highly recommend Chef Eliza for a fun date night or team building experience.

Chef Eliza and Chef Peter were INCREDIBLE! I ended up scheduling this event as a corporate team outing... and we all had such an incredible time! There were ten of us, along with two other guests, so quite the party. Chef Eliza not only didn't appear to be overwhelmed but also has such vast knowledge of cooking, fermentation and knife handling. She has a great sense of humor, laughed along with all of our jokes. We were allowed to bring snacks and wine- they also provided some for us! It was such an enjoyable experience and we will be sure to return for another corporate event. Thanks Eliza and Peter!
