Italian Cooking Class - The Rich Tradition of Risotto in Mid-City Area

This review is long overdue. We took a cooking class with Chef Luana and we had the best time! The mushroom risotto was delicious and the instructions were so well given we are able to cook it at home. Chef Luana is fun, informative and welcoming. I highly recommend taking a class with her.

Chef Luana was awesome. We had a fantastic time with her for the risotto class. She was very accommodating as both participants were gluten free. We were able to make delicious gluten free risotto and a gluten free pie that was to die for. If you are your partner have a gluten allergy this is a great cooking class for you !

Good experience

Chef Luana is amazing! From the moment she welcomed us into her home to the second she wished us a good evening, I never stopped smiling and laughing. Chef Luana is highly skilled and she’s fantastic to cook with. She gives you the true Italian experience complete with a fantastic view from her home. 10/10 would recommend and I will 1000% be back to cook again with Chef Luana. I’d give her 100 star rating if I could!

Chef Luana is the best! We had a great time making risotto with her. You can tell she is exceptionally passionate and knowledgeable, and she really wants to share her expertise with others. We made 2 types of risotto: mushroom + shrimp and zucchini. I rarely eat seafood, but WOW - that shrimp risotto was excellent! She also helped us make beautiful pastries with homemade jam, and even prepared extras for us to take home; it was such a nice touch to a great evening! In addition, Chef Luana prepared a delicious salad and authentic, homemade bread for us to enjoy alongside our risotto dinner - we could not have asked for more. Go take her class, make some new friends and eat some amazing food! We'll be back to do it again!

we had a fun time making risotto with chef luana! she clearly knows a lot about italian cooking and explains recipes thoroughly so you can recreate the dish at home - we already bought most of the ingredients for when we are craving risotto again :)

We had such a great time with Chef Luana in her Risotto class. Everything was hands on and the food was amazing! Even better, my husband and I both feel like we could recreate the risotto and crostatina dessert at home. We can't wait to sign up for another class!

The Rich Tradition of Risotto with Chef Luana was exceptional and would highly recommend it to anyone. Hands on and super fun. It can be hard to cook a good risotto while also cooking something else at the same time, but Chef Luana helped guide and instill in us with confidence! Thank you again, chef and we'll see you soon for another class.

Chef Luana is fantastic! Our food was so delicious and she took us through every part of the process step by step. Would happily take another class with her!

I bought the class as a Christmas Gift for a close friend and we had such a great time! It was fun, relaxed, informative and absolutely delicious. If you are looking for a fun experience to gift someone or just for yourself I would recommend it. I am a risotto convert.

What a wonderful night ! Chef Luana made us feel at home and we had such a phenomenal meal.

Luana was amazing! I loved that she brought her family tradition to the ambiance of the class. My girlfriend took me to her class for my birthday ! And she couldn’t be sweeter . She put a big sign of 'Happy Birthday' in her living room just for me. Very generous with the food and her knowledge. Definitely an experience I’ll recommend!.

This was our first time doing a cooking class, and it was such an amazing and enjoyable experience! Chef Luana was very warm, welcoming and informative. We had a great time learning how to make authentic risotto while chatting with her and the other people taking the class with us. The end result was absolutely delicious and I'm hoping to bring my sister to one of her other classes. It's a wonderful experience and makes for a great gift! Highly recommend this class, as well as Chef Luana - she's incredible!

This was my first Cozymeal experience so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fun. I recommend it to anyone interested in cooking Italian cuisine. I did the risotto menu with Chef Luana and would certainly feel comfortable cooking this on my own now. She really spoiled us with extras like truffles and different kinds of cheese to go with our main dish. Her apartment is nice and it was a pleasure getting to know the other guests as well.

Chef Luana was a fantastic host. She was so warm and welcoming. We had the best time learning from her and hearing all of her great stories. All of the food was amazing, even though the appetizer and dessert were different than what was on the menu we booked. We were able to overlook that because she was so great. I’m sure we’ll be back for another class soon.

Chef Luana introduced us to the wonderful world of Italy. She was very good at giving tips and instruction on secrets to Italian cooking. The mushroom risotto is underrated and a great dish to learn! We meticulously went through all the steps to cook it al dente and I loved her story behind her opening of her restaurant in Italy. She is a very knowledgable chef that I can see myself continuing to learn from!

It is my second course with her. She is nice and her recipes are delicious. would definitely come back again to learn more about Italian food!

Very professional and courteous!
