I have always loved cooking for others. I am very inspired by my grandma's cuisine and love to give traditional recipes a modern spin. I live and work in SF and would love to meet you at one of my Cozymeal experiences!

Chef Dave was an executive chef at Marriot for many years and clearly knows how to cook. He is kind and patient and the class is well organized with neat workstations for each student and overhead mirrors to more easily follow the demonstrations. Twelve years ago Chef Dave won an award for his â€˜Strawberry Tacoâ€™ and it is well deserved. This simple dessert is simply delicious, light and sweet with the fresh taste of cinnamon and fresh strawberry. Yum. Chef Daveâ€™s wife works in the office and his daughter acts as his assistant â€œWe just said Dad if you love to teach, just do itâ€ she tells me sweetly.

Chef Douglas is awesome! Our event featured a variety of tapas dishes and two signature paellas (one veggie and one with meat). All of the food was amazing. Chef Douglas has a beautiful home and helps get folks engaged in the culinary experience. Highly recommended.

We had Chef Jean Ives come to our home for a private dessert class with a few friends. This was one of the best experiences we have had as a group so far. Looking forward to our next Cozymeal experience :)

Had such an enjoyable experience cooking, learning, sipping and eating with the chefs and 5 other 'students'. We started with a light Aperol Spritz cocktail to put us into Italian mode for our Chicken Piccata meal we were to prepare. After making a quick, easy appetizer, we were each assigned a station to make a part of the meal... salad, pasta, veggies, herbs, green beans, chicken prep, reduction sauce and strawberries macerated in wine for dessert. Our meal came together, the trick being having all the hot foods ready at the same time. Everything got to the table fresh and delicious. So fun to meet new people while sharing a challenge and learning helpful techniques to use in the kitchen.

We have had several wonderful opportunities to experience Chef Asamiâ€™s culinary expertise, including two Local Kitchen dinners, which we experienced with friends: one in February of 2016, and the second in September of 2016. Â At each dinner, we were offered a varied 7 course meal, each course which provided delectable creations from Chef Asamiâ€™s repertoire, each with a Japanese touch, both visually and flavor.Â His home-grown greens were fresh and flavorful, while the hybrid aged grass fed painted hills New York Cut steak was to die for â€“ the right combination of crisp exterior with tender, juice inside. Each meal ended with a selection of amazing deserts, served with Shinyaâ€™s specialty vintage cafÃ©.Â Iâ€™m looking forward to our next Local Kitchen experience.

I have had the privilege of eating Skye's plant based meals for a few years now. They are quite delicious and very healthy. I am always impressed with what she prepares. The Indian dish with jackfruit is one of my favorites. In addition the ocean view at her retreat home is so spectacular. It's quite the Million dollar view.

Chef Neil, who recently moved to Portland from the East Coast, has ample experience working in restaurants but recently decided to devote his career to teaching and becoming a personal chef. His Korean roots inspired this class with some of the flavors brought from overseas; classic Korean dishes with a personal twist that Chef Neil brings to the table are spicy, crunchy, flavorful and so fun to make! Learn about the ingredients, and how to blend them into an international adventure you can later share with your friends and family.

A five star product and service in any way you want to think about it! Think the best chocolate treat ever! There are thousands of fancy chocolates out there with all kinds of claims about being the best. This is the best. Created by a caring chef who has a real concern for getting the product just like she had as a child; but better. You can't eat love, you say; I think you can. It's called brigaderios made by Tinyb!!
