Booked the class Vegan Sushi for All with Chef Paulo in San Diego (Downtown)
Chef Paulo was awesome!! He was spot on in teaching us the basic of sushi making so we can make a variety of sushi rolls in the future. And we got a bonus of learning to make a hand roll. He was also very flexible and responsive in working with us on the menu/fish options. 10 stars would highly recommend and do it again!
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!
Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong in San Diego (San Carlos)
Chef Krong was amazing to learn from! She came ready to hit the ground running, we were into prep and cooking in the first few minutes! She was incredibly warm and fun, and so easy to connect with. It felt more like cooking with a really talented and patient friend. The recipes were simple and delicious, and we feel confident we could make them again on our own with the techniques we picked up. It was also great to learn more about Thai ingredients we have been curious about!
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!!
Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)
What a wonderful night! My daughter and I had such a great experience learning and cooking with Chef Francesco. He is a delightful host and has such a lovely home. The food and drinks were fabulous. The hosts adorable. I would recommend this to friends, girls night out, couples, parents visiting in town, or other small groups looking for an evening of hands on, delicious fun!
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.

Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong in San Diego (Scripps Ranch)
We were happy to learn some tips to creating authentic tasting pad thai and green curry. Each dish we made was delicious. My only disappointment was I felt this experience was very rushed and quick because Chef Krong had another booking right after ours. I sensed she was distracted because of this. There was no time to take notes because she was moving us along at a very fast pace. Parts of this experience seemed like a blur to me.

Chef Krong is absolutely awesome—she made the whole experience so fun, informative, and effortless.

The food was incredible, and we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she was so sweet and patient with our dog, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Booked the class Fresh Fare From the Garden with Chef Tina M. in San Diego (North Park)
Chef Tina (who is also an ND and PHD!) is an absolute gem. Her energy is warm, bubbly and soothing, making our hands-on cooking class so enjoyable. Tina put thought into the ingredients she selected, being mindful of our dietary needs and considering the produce that is in season. My husband and I learned so much and the food was delicious and abundant. Thank you for such a special evening, Tina! We’d be delighted to work with you again!

Chef ShaSha was incredible! I got the cooking class as a birthday gift for husband and we had so much fun. Chef brought amazing ingredients and taught us all about sourcing quality ingredients, knife techniques and numerous nuggets of cooking wisdom from her years in the kitchen. I absolutely recommend hiring her for your in-home cooking experience. I cannot wait to book her for another class with friends! Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Chef ShaSha for such a fun, educational and unique experience!
Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong in San Diego (Clairemont)
Chef Krong was delightful. Her enthusiasm for her culture and cuisine shines through her incredibly yummy dishes. She was easy to talk to and made the process of preparing the food exciting and non-intimidating. The spring rolls, curry, and pad Thai were flavorful and fresh. Excellent all around!

Fabulous time and delicious food!

Chef Sasha was amazing. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed her. She made the experience fun. Now onto the food itself, it was so authentic and so delicious! Her culinary training in Italy was evident. Highly recommend for a date night.

Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong
We loved our cooking class with Chef Krong! The food was amazing and we learned lots of helpful tips and tricks. We’re already looking forward to making the dishes again!
Booked the class Vegetarian Taste of Thailand with Chef Krong
I would recommend Krong's cooking class to anyone. She gave the perfect amount of direction that made us feel proud that we made the meal, but still assisted at times to make sure the food came out just right. Her time management was perfect as all of our food was hot sitting on the table at the end, despite making multiple different dishes. Did I mention the food was to die for? Delicious!! Most of all, she was very fun to be around and personable. We will definitely be doing this class again with different recipes and more friends. Thanks Krong!
Booked the class Sweet and Savory Gluten Free Baking with Chef Stacy D.
We had a great time with Chef Stacy! She was personable, flexible, and very adaptable to our unique dietary concerns and making the menu the best fit for our situation. Our meal was delicious, we had fun making it, learned some new things, and the experience was memorable. The kitchen was left spotless, and we would definitely take another class again. Thanks, Stacy!
Booked the class Family Approved Weekday Meals with Chef Stacy D.
We recently had Chef Stacy come to our home, and we were delighted with the entire experience. She was very knowledgeable, and we learned so much. The food was delicious! We would recommend this to anyone!!
Booked the class Italian Happy Hour with Chef Marty in San Diego (Little Italy)
My son and I had a truly exceptional experience with Chef Marty. Chef Marty openly and generously shared her cherished Tuscan grandmother's recipes. It was wonderful to be able to take a break from our fast-paced and quick-food lives and step into a slower-paced experience where whole food, conversation, and appreciating the culinary experience were the priority. The meal we made was outstanding, better than we've had in even in the finest Italian restaurants. This cooking class was more than just a typical "class". It was an experience that we will remember and appreciate for years to come.
Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)
I surprised my fiance with the italian vegan cooking class hosted by the AMAZING Chef Francesco! The class took place in a cute craftsman style house in the heart of Golden Hill. Chef Francesco is not only a talented cook but such a fun host as well. I love what he had to share about shopping local produce and his take on cooking. He's truly passionate about what he does, from the taste to the presentation-- everything about the evening was absolute perfection! I definitely recommend this experience as a date, family, company team building, etc. You must give this a try! We will be back!
Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)
Chef Francesco was very friendly and knowledgeable host and teacher. He made cooking lessons fun, creative, and interactive. You can really tell he is passionate about what he does and it reflects in the way that he cooks and teaches. I highly recommmend him.
Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)
The experience was amazing, my daughter sister and I were very pleased with chef Francesco’s guidance in our cooking experience. We were greeted with a beautiful presentation of array of vegetables spread out on a table homemade vegan gluten free bread, olives and wine. Every course we made was delicious and the hosts were wonderful and we had a beautiful dinner when we were done with cooking. I would return to have more classes with chef Francesco highly recommend him.
Booked the class Vegan Italian Specialties with Chef Francesco in San Diego (Golden Hill)
I bought the vegan Italian experience for my friends as a late Christmas present. Chef Francesco was very knowledgeable about local produce and educated us on what real, organic produce should look like, and what ingredients we should keep in our kitchen and what to toss out. He was very welcoming and easy to talk to. He humored us, and entertained us with stories about his travels and people he’s come across. This was such a wonderful and intimate experience. I look forward to other lessons from him in the future.

Chef Francesco give the whole experience. Can't think of a better date night with the wife.
Booked the class Mastery of Homemade Tarts with Chef Adina in San Diego (Tierrasanta)
I would not repeat this experience unfortunately. And the reasons are below: 1. For the amount of money paid, this was not organized very well. Ingredients were brought so only one person could do anything at a time and all three recipes were being partially cooked simultaneously which led to some confusion. The end results were just ok. The onion tart was so soggy, it was inedible. The rose tart was good, the other tart just ok. 2. Did not give us the recipes beforehand. It would have been nice to look alongside so we could follow along or knew what to expect. I also had asked for the recipes after thru CozyMeal but we never received those. 3. The ingredients were not the best quality. We only used two apples in all of the recipes and one of them was ready to toss in the bin. Everything was brought pre-measured in other containers which I understand is for efficiency.. but for over $300 i think it would've been reasonable to bring yogurt, cream cheese and the other ingredients in their original packaging. Overall, the whole thing felt a little rushed. Chef left 45 min earlier than our intended stop time.
