We really enjoyed this class with Chef Polly. She made us feel welcome in her home and we learned different recipes that were flavorful and easy enough to prepare on our own. We've already prepared several of the recipes we learned in class at home and have recommended this class to friends. Definitely worth checking out!

What a treat to be welcomed into Chef Pollyâ€™s home to learn how to cook Korean food. Chef Polly has a way of familiarizing Korean food and making it feel more accessible. Iâ€™m looking forward to making these dishes on my own!

Chef Polly was so welcoming and made the entire experience unforgettable! She didnâ€™t just teach us how to cook â€” she took us on a beautiful culinary and cultural journey through Korean history and flavors. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fun stories that made everyone feel comfortable and connected. I loved how she encouraged us to interact, share, and truly enjoy the process. It felt more like cooking with a friend than being in a class. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves learning about food and culture!

Chef Polly is super knowledgeable and brought some amazing recopies to the class. She was so easy to talk to and guided us throughout the whole day and even prepared a few special side dishes along the way as well. We very much enjoyed our time with her making delicious food, and the cooking space is so beautiful as well with great scenery. We can't wait to try another one of her classes in the near future (and bring our friends!)

I had such a wonderful experience taking Chef Polly's Korean food essentials class! From the moment the class began, she created a welcoming, engaging, and fun environment that made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their cooking experience. Chef Polly has a gift for breaking down techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps while also sharing the stories, traditions, and culture behind each dish. Her passion for Korean cuisine is contagious, and you can tell she genuinely loves teaching others. She was patient, encouraging, and happy to answer every question along the way. The food was absolutely delicious, and I left not only with recipes I can't wait to recreate at home, but also with a much deeper appreciation for Korean cooking. This was one of the most enjoyable cooking classes I've taken, and I would recommend Chef Polly to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable culinary experience.

Chef Polly greeted us warmly with roasted barley tea, instantly making us feel at home in her kitchen. She patiently answered our many questions while preparing a delicious bindae-tteok appetizer and guiding us step by step through each cooking process with helpful tips and encouragement. Thoughtfully checking in beforehand about dietary restrictions, she also showed me how to make a gluten-free hoettuckâ€”something I had always wanted to tryâ€”ensuring I could fully enjoy the class. Beyond cooking, she generously shared her favorite Korean businesses and insider tips. The conversation went well beyond Korean food making the experience feel like hanging out with old friends over a wonderful meal. No matter your skill level or dietary needs, Chef Pollyâ€™s energy, warmth, and genuine hospitality make this class truly special!

It was so much fun to cook with Chef Polly and her classes were spot on in terms of teaching me the basics of making the dishes presented in the menu as well as the tips and tricks to streamline and enhance. All the dishes came out super tasty and I feel like my cooking skills definitely have been upgraded!

My friends and I booked Chef Pollyâ€™s Korean Food Essentials and it was phenomenal! She was so sweet and funny! She created such a warm and inviting environment!! My friends are experienced with cooking but not professionally trained so it was really cool to see her put on her professional chef hat and teach all of us some really handy tricks! We would definitely book a class with her again :)

Chef Polly was amazing! Not only was the food delicious but she was so warm, inviting, and informative. This is my third time doing a Cozymeal cooking class and my evening with Chef Polly was by far my favorite. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the experience and how tasty the meal was. 10000/10. Would highly highly recommend this class (or any class) that Chef Polly offers.

Chef Polly was great â€” very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. She was easy to follow and broke down each recipe simply and clearly.

We did the Korean street food experience. Chef Polly was super friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. Everything was incredibly clean and well organized, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Her recipes were delicious, and she also shared the background behind each dish.
