Angela-Michelle was awesome! We instantly felt comfortable with her since she is so fun and personable. She was patient and worked with us. We appreciate her experience in plant based cuisine. The Vegan meal we made turned out amazing! We will definitely book her class again. Highly recommended!

The food was very tasty! However, the experience was very stressful. The chef was unprepared in that she did not have a copy of the Cozymeal instructions in front of her. She seemed surprised by some of the quantities and instructions that we were provided. For example, the liquid quantities for Polenta were double what she actually wanted us to use. It was confusing. When asked about other quantities, she did not know and would have to pause and go to look it up, reminding us that we should have had it premeasured. I organized this class as a fun activity for family members in four locations. One family member had difficulty signing in, causing a 1-2 minute delay. Also, the instructions did not say to have our ovens preheated to 400 degrees before class. Since putting the bread into the oven was the very first step, we felt behind and rushed. Throughout the class we were repeatedly reminded of the slow start and that we were running late. All of us felt uncomfortable, and some of us even felt shamed, with these reminders. I don't think Chef realized that this was a 75 minutes class, that she ended 10 minutes early. The rushing was unnecessary. The food was wonderful and the chef's tone was pleasant, but I am very sorry that I booked this event for my family.

Chef was a most enjoyable instructor and made us feel like we were right there in the kitchen with her. Loved the recipes and time spent with her, and will definitely look for more of her classes!
