My boyfriend and I enjoyed our experience with Rebecca. The meal was delicious, yet simple enough that we can recreate it ourselves at home. Her home kitchen was the perfect size and we appreciated her straightforward direction and friendliness.

We made beef and papa's tacos with an elote corn salad and cilantro lime rice and finishing the evening with sopapillas. Wonderful instruction, adapting to our skill set and praising my younger son (13), who is unsure of his abilities in the kitchen. Overall, an amazing experience!

Thanks for a wonderful cooking class. The bruschetta bites were delicious and the flatbread was absolutely something weâ€™re looking forward to making again.

Chef Rebecca was extremely professional and friendly, making our Cozymeal experience feel one-of-a-kind. She arrived on time and immediately set herself up in our tiny kitchen, explaining to me what she was planning. We had several people over and she made it feel like a truly deluxe offering, bringing out immaculately plated dish after dish, describing what they were, and sharing jokes with guests. We couldn't recommend a chef more highly! Such a lovely night!

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.

Chef Rebecca was amazing and very welcoming to her home. She was very patient and I learned tips and how to make a French Brie cheese with an apple compote.

Amazing night! Rebecca was super accommodating and extremely communicative prior to arriving. The menu was perfectly curated and her wonderful personality aided to the lovely backdrop for dinner. Flavorful and vibrant, each dish in our 3 course meal was a treat. Iâ€™m not a sweets fan but the poached pear was the best dessert Iâ€™ve had in years. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca! Thank you for the experience!

We are extremely disappointed with the Cooking "Class" - Elegant French Fare with Rebecca, and I would not recommend it to anyone. The class was billed as two-hour experience to learn classic French fare for beginners. In reality, the chef had prepared most of dishes already, and we were just there to chop a few vegetables or stir some pots. With eating the food, it was about 80 minutes. The chef didn't measure anything, tell us the ratios of ingredients, or teach us anything. We didn't even get the recipe and were told to message her after for the recipes. It was just chopping a few vegetables and stirring them in pots. She didn't even buy the right ingredients for the dishes we signed up to make. For example, instead of getting real Camembert cheese, she bought much cheaper brie cheese. The worst part is that I purchased this experience for my husband as a birthday gift, but the chef seemed to ignore him. The only tasks he was given to do was peal pears and pour a bottle of wine into a pot. For how much we paid for this, he didn't learn anything. On top of the poor experience with the "class" portion, we were greeted at the chef's home by a pile of cigarettes outside. When we got inside, the host opened the bottle of wine we were encouraged to bring, but the chef didn't seem to know how to do it, broke the cork, and didn't even have wine glasses. The chef didn't know how to set a table, plate food, or teach. I'm skeptical that any real vetting was done at all. This felt like a bait and switch and definitely as advertised. We would not recommend it to anyone.

Booked the menu Explore Vietnamese Flavors with Chef Rebecca in Los Angeles (Culver City)

The team had fun but thought this event was missing a lot. I think it should be clear to bring your own beverages as we were expecting at least cups and water. Also, the food was mostly prepared for us so no cutting or mixing of sauces or marinades. It was pretty much just roll your own roll and fill your own sandwich. Also, no one liked the dessert which was premade and was not tasty at all. I was really hoping to learn something about the sauces and marinades. For the price, I was expecting better food and at least water. The cooks were friendly and helpful but this format was a bit of a cluster and didn't get an opportunity to really cook anything.

She was very kind, but unfortunately did not have any experience with working a pizza oven and I had told her in advance that we would be using a pizza oven.

Very expensive and each person got to do one thing. More of a dinner than a cooking class. Very disappointed.

Lena M. 06/24/2022

While the chef is very friendly and has a nice home, that is not exactly what I expected nor paid for. I did not make all that is mentioned in the advertisement. My husband and I made guacamole, beef and potatoes, the tortillas for the tacos, and was shown how to make the cinnamon sopapilla's. We did not make cilantro lime rice, avocado crema, nor frijoles borrachos. The event duration was about an hour. Do you typically make only certain parts? If so that should be mentioned when paying. I feel ripped off. Also, the pictures of the food shown in the gallery for the Classic Mexican Street food depict a tortilla being made in a tortilla press, but we fried tortilla's from the store. That is very misleading. There was no "avocado crema" served with the tacos, just the guacamole we made so they were very dry and untasty. The cinnamon honey sopapilla's did not have honey as shown in the gallery as well. The chef fried the tortilla chips and shook them with sugar and cinnamon, no honey drizzle. I'm very confused as to how a menu can be shown that isn't followed. This class is for people who REALLY can't cook, like at all. Save your money and watcha YouTube video.
