Booked the class Fabulous Croissants with Chef Eric in Chicago (Streeterville)
Chef Eric was enthusiastic, charismatic, and incredibly supportive throughout the class. Chef stepped in exactly when needed and shared quick, helpful tips that made preparing the dish so much easier. Both dishes were absolutely delicious — but the Roasted Leek and Gruyère Croissant was truly top tier! I’m already looking forward to booking another class in the near future.

Booked the class Beloved Bistro Meal with Chef Rakhi in Chicago (North Center)
Exceptional! My wife and really enjoyed the entire evening. I especially did, given the fact that I am not good at cooking AT ALL. Chef Rakhi was accommodating, patient, and a wonderful teacher. I have now graduated from being the WORST CHEF. The Bistro experience was fabulous, but what truly made the experience exceptional, was simply the time we spent getting to know Chef Rakhi. She is and amazing woman with an amazing story. Can't wait to read the book.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening! Chef Rakhi is brimming with knowledge and expertise from many years of experience.

The food was delicious, and it was nice enjoying it with the new friends we made :) We’ll definitely be back!

Chef Rakhi was fantastic! We shared so many laughs and she made me feel comfortable to be open to learning. I learned how to make pasta from scratch which was on my bucket list of things to do for a long time. The Caesar salad made me decide to never buy Caesar salad dressing from the store ever again! Bolognese was fantastic! Dessert was also wonderful! I highly recommend Chef Rakhi!

Booked the class The Art of Gnocchi with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)
This review is a little late. I signed up for Chef Paco's class called, "The Art of Gnocchi" on July 15th with my father, stepmother and aunt. My father and aunt had milestone birthdays approaching that are 4 days apart, so this was a gift. The class was fantastic! Chef Paco was very friendly, professional and helpful with his instructions. He has a wonderful home and had nice music playing while we cooked (70's classic rock, a favorite in my family). And all of the food was fantastic, including the salad and dessert. We all had a great time. I would definitely sign up for another Cozy Meal class. Thank you again, Chef Paco!

Booked the class Pizza Neapolitan From Scratch with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)
This is an excellent class and you should take it, whether you want a good pizza recipe or simply an enjoyable evening out. Our class had a small group (four of us) and loose, relaxed vibe, with not so much instruction as to feel like a lecture but enough so you'll know what to do when you want to give it a shot at home. The food was wonderful and the evening was, overall, more than worth the price for us.

Booked the class The Art of Gnocchi with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)
Chef Paco was awesome! We took his class gnocchi class, and it was absolutely delicious. He was great with helpful tips in the kitchen as well. We had some beginners in our group, but he made everyone feel comfortable. Once we rolled the gnocchi, he handled the rest of the details and allowed us to sit back and enjoy our meal. I would highly recommend Paco's class to anyone looking for a fun night out and some delicious food!

Booked the class The Art of Gnocchi with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)
Was looking for something to do with my husband and came across cozymeal. After trusting the reviews I booked with Paco and the art of gnocchi. We arrived at his home (it’s a locked gate, and you’ll think you’re in the wrong spot, but he will look for you out his window and buzz you in), and he was immediately very warm and welcoming. We learned how to make the most delicious and tender gnocchi. I only wish we were more involved in the preparation and cooking of the the rest of the meal, because the gnocchi making part seemed very quick, but at the same time it was lovely to chat with the other couple there and just sit and enjoy a delicious meal. We will definitely be doing this again!

Thanks again, Paco!

Booked the class The Art of Gnocchi with Chef Paco in Chicago (West Ridge)
Incredible experience. Paco has tons of experience cooking, teaching, and hosting and it certainly shows. His home was laid out great, and when we showed up all of the ingredients were set out and prepared ahead of time so that all we had to worry about was making the gnocchi! Paco walked us through every step of the process and even went as far to present the dishes in a restaurant quality fashion. Hint to guests: don’t be shy to BYOB and enjoy yourselves, the conversation is great!

Vegetarian Indian cooking class This was a fantastic class from start to finish! Chef Rakhi is extremely skilled and talented, and it shows through the way she discusses cooking techniques and recipes. She knows food very well, and made it a great experience for us by walking us through the steps of the recipe, having us each try something different, and encouraging a warm environment filled with lovely conversation. The menu she created was amazing, and the food was incredible. This was my first-ever cooking class, and I will be going back to Chef Rakhi from now on. 1000/10 experience!
