Booked the class Pizza With Pizzazz with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Chef Luana’s pizza class was fantastic! The first thing you learn is that great pizza is all about the dough, and Chef Luana does an incredible job explaining every step of the process in a way that’s both detailed and easy to follow. I had no idea how much craftsmanship goes into making the perfect dough until taking this class. Chef Luana is a wonderful teacher and is clearly passionate about what she does. My wife and I loved hearing her stories and learning the “why†behind each step, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The pizzas we made were absolutely delicious, and we left feeling excited to recreate them at home. We can’t wait to put our new skills to use and are already looking forward to taking more of Chef Luana’s classes. Highly recommended for anyone who loves pizza or simply wants to learn from an exceptional instructor!

My husband and I loved this date night. We took a cooking class in Italy for our honeymoon but class with Luana in her apartment felt even more authentic than that - it was like cooking with Nonna. Everything was delicious and I’m excited to make more gnocchi at home. Will definitely be booking Luana again.

Chef Luana welcomed us as family for an unforgettable cooking class. Her love for cooking and years of experience was shared with us as we made the most delicious gnocchi. We enjoyed a homemade ragu gnocchi and a cheese blend gnocchi - both were so yummy, we couldn’t pick a favorite! We also indulged in bruschetta, and dessert. Chef Luana grew up in a part of Italy not far from where my grandfather grew up, which made the whole experience even more special and we felt right at home! Thank you, Chef Luana, for the most wonderful time and new culinary skills to last a lifetime. Hope to cook with you again soon! - James and Amanda

This Gnocchi cooking class with Chef Luana was absolutely incredible a truly authentic Italian experience from start to finish. From learning traditional techniques passed down through generations to understanding the heart behind each dish, there is truly nothing like being welcomed into an Italian family kitchen. The ingredients, the stories, and the hands-on process made everything so special. The gnocchi we made was beyond delicious, and the entire experience was thoughtful, intimate, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a genuine, traditional Italian cooking class that goes far beyond a recipe, this is it. Highly recommend to anyone who loves food, culture, and meaningful experiences.

My wife has always gone out of her way to demonstrate her love and care for me, including taking me on a trip to Italy last year, my first time in Europe. So, when it bame time to celebrate her 60th birthday, I wanted to make it something that would touch her heart. She loves Italy and she loves cooking shows, so I thought that she might really enjoy some up close and personal time with an expert in preparation of Italian cuisine. I was blessed to find Chef Luana, a restauranteur from Italy with over 50 years of experience and someone who is committed to making time spent in her kitchen is joyous and scrumptious. Chef Luana walked us through the steps to make gnocchi, dressed three different ways, all while also making brushetta for us to nosh on. After the gnocchi Chef Luana brought out a cake that she made specially before our arrival to celebrate my wife's birthday. After three hours of cooking, eating, and listening to the chef's tales of running a restaurant in Italy we left feeling well satisfied. It was an event that helped jumpstart a full day of activites to bring a smile to my wife's face and heart and Chef Luana got the ball rolling. I highly recommend takng any of her classes. I intend to take both her pasta class and her pizza making class in the not-to-distant future.

Chef Luana was fantastic. We had a wonderful authentic experience in her lovely apartment. I was there to celebrate my boyfriend and his sisters birthday and she surprised us with having the place decorated for their celebration. The food was fantastic, tasted as if you were transported to Italy! Highly recommend.

Booked the class Pizza With Pizzazz with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Such a fun and memorable experience! Chef Luana was warm, engaging, and made the whole pizza-making process so approachable—even for beginners. We made our dough from scratch, learned helpful tips on toppings and baking techniques, and got to personalize our pizzas. The class was super hands-on but still relaxed, and Chef Luana created such a welcoming, social vibe. It honestly felt like being at a friend’s house for a homemade pizza night—except with a pro guiding us every step of the way. Perfect for a date night or just something fun and different to do with your family. I’d definitely take another class with her!

The gnocchi class with Chef Luana was absolutely fabulous. My better half and I had the best time learning and experiencing true Italian cuisine from this master chef! Her authenticity and detail to creating the meal made us feel as though WE were Italian chefs. We have not stopped bragging about our experience with Chef Luana and how amazingly good the food was. We look forward to exposing our friends and family to the gifts of cooking/preparing meals that she offers. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chef Luana's cooking class! I've uploaded a few photos, but don't judge us too harshly. We are not quite at Chef Luana's level just yet!

Had a fantastic experience making gnocchi with chef Luana! My boyfriend and I took the class for a birthday celebration, and it was a perfect way to enjoy time together while learning something new. Chef Luana was very welcoming and patient as she taught us her gnocchi recipe, as well as showed us how to make an amazing cheese sauce to go with it. She also provided homemade bread with bruschetta as an appetizer, and ice cream for dessert. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to prepare a delicious dish or just celebrate a special occasion.

Chef Luana was phenomenal. She is a true Italian chef with 30+ years experience owning a pizza restaurant. Not only was she a great teacher, but her stories of the "homeland" were truly endearing. We had a wonderful time and truly took our pizza making skills to the next level. Highly recommended!

We had the most amazing experience taking Chef Luana’s cooking class! The unique and creative approach of using a shovel to make gnocchi was so much fun and truly unforgettable. Chef Luana’s expertise, warmth, and engaging teaching style made the class enjoyable from start to finish. The gnocchi turned out absolutely delicious, and we appreciated her passion for sharing authentic techniques. Thank you, Chef Luana, for such a wonderful experience—we’ll be raving about this class to everyone we know!
Booked the class Little Chefs Make Pasta with Chef Jasmin in Los Angeles
Hi Chef Jazmin had awesome energy for the Daddy/Daughter experience we wanted. She was so kind and patient with our 4 year old and accommodated her picky eating and 4 year old tendencies haha. Given it was a kids pasta class, the meal was basic but that was to be expected. Thanks!

Booked the class Food That Empowers Your Mind with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Had a great time cooking and chatting with Chef Luana. Learned how to make healthy and delicious food in a realistic kitchen setting - can't wait to cook the amazing dishes at home. Pineapple with burrata was an amazing combo, and the homemade bread was great too! Risotto was mouthwatering, especially with a few tips from Chef Luana on how to make it super creamy and flavorful (and still healthy!). Chef Luana was very welcoming, and her place felt like home! We would love to be back for more classes. Recommend this class!

Chef Luana was so nurturing and made our experience better than we could have ever imagined! It was a day full of celebrations as we were her 3000th customer and it was my girlfriend’s 30th birthday! Luana went above and beyond and the food was delicious! We will definitely be recommending the class to our friends!

Booked the class Pizza With Pizzazz with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Chef Luana is the real deal, and even has her own restaurant in Italy! My husband and I took her pizza-making class and loved it! She was friendly, patient, humorous, and informative, making sure we learned but also had fun. And she infused some stories and tidbits about her Italian culture! Luana provided the perfect balance of giving us participation/experience at every level, but also having some items prepped because they take longer (ex: yeast needs hours to proof and and dough needs to rise, so we made our own to learn how but she had dough prepped and ready to use) We got to make 3 different pizzas, with some options to customize. They were all beautiful and delicious! The crust was light and crispy and unlike any other; we can't wait to try out what we learned, at home. We would definitely recommend Luana and one of her many Italian cooking classes!

Booked the class Regional Italian Favorites with Chef Rebecca in Los Angeles (Mar Vista)
Chef Rebecca was great! She was very communicative (asking about food allergies and being open to cooking at our place or hers), inviting (we cooked at her place), and friendly. Her recipes were educational (how to make regional Italian dishes), interesting (we could personalize our own flatbread pizzas), and delicious. I would definitely consider taking another class from her in the future and highly recommend her to others considering doing a Cozymeal cooking class.

So much fun! Luana was a wonderful chef who was just a joy to be around. It is quite exhausting, cooking all of that pasta, but it was delicious! I wish I could have taken some of the sauce home with me because it was just so yummy. Would definitely book another class with Chef Luana again!

Chef Luana was extremely nice and threw in a bunch of extra stuff that wasn't even on the menu, like her amazing focaccia and lemon granita. The whole experience was fantastic! Parking outside of her complex was super easy and the place was very nice!

Absolutely one of the best experiences I've had in the kitchen. Such a nice and experienced chef to help us learn. Her recipes are absolutely amazing and she even makes her bread in-house! pictures and words can't describe how amazing the food tasted. I will definitely be returning to see what other help she can offer me in my quest to learn how to cook. Amazing for learning and amazing for cute dates. PS. MY GF Loved the experience more than I!!! 11/10

Chef Luana is just amazing. Very authentic experience. She delivers a full back country Italy meal. Great attitude and very passionate.

This class was amazing!! My boyfriend and I went to celebrate his birthday and we both had a blast. Chef Luana was extremely welcoming and kind, and it was very fun to learn how to make gnocchi from her. She also prepared bruschetta and dessert, and all of it was top tier. There were two other couples as well, and it was very fun to get to interact with them and eat with them after we made the food. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Booked the class Food That Empowers Your Mind with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Our class was wonderful. As soon as we walked in, Chef Luana made us feel at home. She decorated the table for Valentines Day which was a thoughtful touch! There were two other couples there and it was just the right size group to get to know each other a bit and enjoy a meal with everyone together. We each had a few minutes to work with her in the kitchen, and the rest of the time we listened and watched as the recipe came together. The only thing that would have been nice is if we each had some food preparation task or something else we could do to participate more. Overall it was a really fun and interesting experience. :)

Such a great experience learning from Chef Luana! The gnocchi was just the right consistency. Not too hard and also not to soft that it falls apart. The 4 cheese and amatriciana sauce was really good too. Would definitely sign up for another class that she's teaching!
