Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha

We had Chef Shasha for my sisterâ€™s birthday celebration and we had such a fantastic and memorable time. Chef Shasha is fun and she taught us so many things about baking and cooking. We made bruschetta, ravioli and fettuccine pasta as well as a rich chocolate mousse. This experience will be remembered forever and on top of that we have learned skills to make us better cooks/bakers. I would highly recommend Chef Shasha for your class. It is worth every dollar!

We made Ricotta Cannoli, Panna Cotta, Ricciarelli and chocolate ganache. It was such a great family bonding experience and the desserts came out extremely delicious. My favorite dessert was the Panna Cotta. When I found this class on CozyMeal I knew I wanted to try something different and Chef Shasha was such a pleasant instructor.

Booked the class Pasta-Making Date Night with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (University City)

Chef ShaSha is such a delight! I booked this experience for my boyfriendâ€™s birthday since he loves Italian food and has always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch. A few days prior to the event, Chef ShaSha called me and we chatted about the menu. Unfortunately her new ravioli maker hadnâ€™t come in yet so we decided to pivot to making Pappardelle pasta with a red sauce instead. The morning of, she arrived early and brought all necessary items we needed (fresh and prepped ingredients, a pasta roller, etc). She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history behind our food items, given her culinary background and education, and very patient and flexible with us. I really enjoyed how hands-on we got to be. We arenâ€™t the most outgoing people but Chef ShaSha immediately broke the ice and brought so much fun and laughter to the experience. Our food turned out amazing with her help, and most importantly my boyfriend loved the entire event. Canâ€™t speak highly of her enough; would definitely recommend booking!

Chef ShaSha was amazing! She was kind and patient with the kiddos and made the entire experience very enjoyable for all of use. The kids learned how to make bruschetta, fettuccini and angel hair pasta and to top it all off made the most delicious ginger bread cookies. Wonderful experience!

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Clairemont)

We had an amazing time with chef ShaSha! She was very knowledgeable, sharing with us tips and tricks from her years of experience while also teaching us about the cuisine we were making. She asked what our preferences were before we started; if we wanted to be more hands on or hands off with the cooking and if we wanted any advice/input on our technique as we went. This helped curate an environment that made us comfortable and suited us best. Not only is chef ShaSha knowledgable, but she is fun and enjoyable to converse with. We had so much fun and would absolutely cook with her again! Thank you chef!

Chef ShaSha was a delight. The deserts were extraordinary. Canâ€™t wait to receive the recipes so I can make them for our next holiday dinner. Hopefully I get the same results without her supervision!

Yvonne R.

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (Rancho Penasquitos)

Thank you Chef Sha Sha! We had a fabulous experience! Chef Sha Sha came to my house to teach us ladies how to make Bruschetta, Cannoli, and ravioli with tomato sauce (yum!!) from scratch. This was a birthday shindig. There were 5 of us. I have a small kitchen, but she was flexible with the workflow and made it happen. She stayed over the scheduled 3hr time because she took her time with each of us on the pasta machine. She's very patient, thorough, attention to detail, and ensured each of us was hands. She even quizzed us throughout. :) Chef explained the whys, the hows, the don'ts, and suggested options and alternatives. She is so personable and pleasant; good times! It really was a fun and unique experience. Our food came out picture perfect and sooo tasty! We highly recommend Chef Sha Sha for any cooking lessons.

Courtney F.

Booked the class Kids' Pasta-Making 101 with Chef ShaSha in San Diego (North Park)

We had ShaSha over to our home to teach my daughter and her friend how to make fresh homemade pasta and panna cotta. The girls loved learning the tips and tricks ShaSha included with her lessons that I know they will remember as they venture onto cooking for from-scratch dishes. ShaSha was lovely and personable and we'd definitely work with her again. And we can't forget the food - so incredible delicious!

Pebbles V.

Booked the class Contemporary Handmade Italian Fare with Chef Jarrett in Fallbrook

Chef Jarrett is the absolute best! His cooking class was fun, informative and interactive. Not to mention the food is DELICIOUS and he left extra for us! He explained everything in detail, demonstrated, let us try our hand at it, and made it work perfectly for 4 people (and 2 pups). Plus he was very accommodating when we had to move things last minute due to my Dad being rushed to the hospital the night before our scheduled class - will forever appreciate how kind and understanding he was to move our booking last minute. Will 100% book with Chef Jarrett again! He is one of the good ones, our friends enjoyed t so much too, and that Sweet Fig and Burrata Crostini was mouth-watering delicious. Plus rolling out the pasta is just fun!

Booked the class The Art of Homemade Pasta with Chef ShaSha in Santee

This in-home experience exceeded expectations. Chef ShaSha exudes professionalism and industry knowledge. She was amazing and very patient with our 6 year old that joined in on the fun of making homemade pasta. The food turned out amazing and my wife and I learned so much about how pasta should taste versus what we were used to. We cannot recommend enough both this course and Chef ShaSha! Another class is definitely in our future!

Christina D.

Booked the class The Art of Homemade Pasta with Chef ShaSha

Chef Sha was absolutely amazing! I booked her for my one year anniversary, and tailored the menu to what I thought my boyfriend would enjoy. CHef Sha worked graciously with me to plan the perfect meal. She had prepared the most delicious Sicilian red sauce with sausage and beef braciole prior to coming to my apartment to make the rest of the meal. Once she arrived, we made caprese salad, lemon panna cotta, and the best part was the homemade fettucine!! She gave me and my boyfriend so many helpful tips in preparing food as well as presentation. I learned so much without feeling instructed. My boyfriend told me it was the best anniversary gift he has ever been given! Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!!

Nicole T.

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha

Chef ShaSha was amazing! I purchased a private, in home cooking class for my parents as a (Mother's Day and dad's birthday) present. It was a wonderful experience. They made ravioli from scratch and Chef ShaSha brought all the supplies and ingredients. She was a patient teacher, allowing my family to participate as much or as little as they liked. My parents made a last minute addition, inviting two other guests and Chef ShaSha was most accommodating. She called ahead of time to make sure that the menu was everything we wanted and finalized details assuring us that everything was on track and ready to go. A relief for someone trying to coordinate from a few states away. I will be calling her again!

Walter B.

Booked the class Preparing Ravioli From Scratch with Chef ShaSha

Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing and ShaSha was a wonderful and patient teacher. She really took the time to explain things to us and show us how thoughtfully food could be made. We went from hardly cooking to make a three course meal (including from scratch pasta). It was a delight having her in our home!

Chef Andrew was positively phenomenal. My wife and I did the Italian course and we both learned so much.

I recommend this to everyone, it was such a fun date night that ended very relaxed by the fire with some coffee and dessert that was prepared for us. We canâ€™t wait to come back.

My family and I had a great time at Chef Andrew's class, even though we came in a group of four instead of two, he still made it a very enjoyable evening!

This was an amazing experience, Chef Andrew and Barbara were great hosts. They welcomed us with champagne, and prepared a romantic table with candles and flowers. Cooking was really fun and we got tons of leftovers. Chef Andrew has a lot of fun stories, impossible to be bored. Dessert in the backyard by the fire was the perfect end for the night. I would recommend this experience.

My Fiance and I had an amazing time with Chef Andrew! We are both huge foodies and it was such a pleasure to learn to make and eat this delicious food.

We had so much fun and will not soon forget!

This was me and my fiancÃ©â€™s first time doing something like this and we couldnâ€™t have picked a better chef! Chef Andrew was waiting for us outside of the door to greet us. He was very organized and had everything ready to go for us! Me and my fiancÃ© were expecting to have fun, and we ended up having an AMAZING night. The communication, the hospitality, and the food couldnâ€™t have been better. If you truly want to do classes through CozyMeal, pick chef Andrew! You wonâ€™t regret it and your night will be very enjoyable.

Booked the class Seafood Lovers Unite with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)

My boyfriend and I did the "Seafood Lovers Unite" with Chef Francesco, and had a WONDERFUL time! It was definitely more than a dinner, it was an experience. He took us through multiple courses with fresh Italian ingredients and rich flavors, paired with wines. His house is lovely and a great space for entertaining, and he went above and beyond to deliver an authentic evening. It was not as much of a "class" as we anticipated, more of a "dining experience", but we had a great time and would definitely do a supper club or an event with Francesco and his staff again. Thank you, Chef!

Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)

This was a fantastic night. The cooking class was a birthday gift for a friend who is interested in adventuring into vegan cuisine. The dishes served were delicious and taught to be easily recreated back in our own kitchen. Chef Francesco and Adisa were warm, welcoming, and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend booking an event with Chef Francesco/Adisa.

Brent S.

Booked the class Pasta Fresca Workshop with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)

I took my girlfriend to the Pasta Fresca class led by Chef Francesco and Chef Adisa. It was an amazing experience! First off, the ambiance of Chef Francesco's house was not only perfect for a romantic evening, but also an exciting and fun night! The pasta we made was some of the most delicious homemade ravioli and spaghetti we have ever tried. We used only high quality ingredients mainly imported from Italy and Chef Francesco was able to enlighten us about the history of the ingredients we were using. Both Chef Francesco and Chef Adisa had warm and charismatic personalities - there was never a dull moment during the night. I would highly recommend Chef Francesco for your Cozymeal experience!
