We had a wonderful experience thanks to Chef Huda! We enjoyed chatting with her and learning more about Indian cuisine. She made the experience for us and we definitely book with her again. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cooking experience that is approachable!

Huda is a delight from beginning to end. Her food was spectacular and her service, personality, her total essence was such a pleasure. She is truly a gifted chef and a wonderfully warm, caring person. The evening was perfect.

Huda was amazing. She was comfortable, personable, and showed her love for cooking. The food was just as great as the conversations. We plan to use her several more times. Highly Highly recommend.

This past Friday we had an AMAZING class with Chef Huda. We made homemade ravioli with a white cream sauce and a berry tart for dessert. She came prepared, on time, and made the experience one to remember! An excellent teacher and very personable. We highly recommend booking a class with Chef Huda!

We had a great time. Chef Huda was patient with our three couple group. And accommodated one of our party who wanted no meat. It was a fabulous evening. It was our second Cozy Meal class in less than four months and we plan to come back again. (m)

My experience with Chef Huda was absolutely amazing!!!! This was my first time booking a class and she exceeded what I had in my mind. Not only is she very pleasant, she explains things step by step, she is patient (cause we ainвЂ™t chefs), and she is sooo sweet! We did the pasta experience, but IвЂ™m excited to do some more. We will definitely book with her again! Thanks Chef Huda, see you soon!

Chef Huda was absolutely wonderful to say the least. Not only was each course of the meal fantastic and on point for the Mediterranean menu, but the Chef herself is a wonderful person to spend an evening with. The entire process was so easy and enjoyable from start to finish and I couldn't recommend it or Chef Houda more. Fantastic night all around.

Chef Huda is the best!!! I had bought a cooking class for my boyfriendвЂ™s birthday and I donвЂ™t know how IвЂ™ll be able to top the experience. Chef Huda is hilarious, kind, and patient, making the class so much fun and manageable. Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS! We finished everything and have been craving the food ever since. Luckily, with chef Huda, we now know how to make it! Take a class with her and you wonвЂ™t be disappointed. We love you Chef Huda!

Chef Huda was AMAZING! My group learned so much and had a ton of fun along the way. She made everyone in the room feel extremely comfortable despite our different level of cooking skills. Highly recommend working with Chef Huda!

Chef Huda was delightful! She taught us a ton, and in a way that was accessible, friendly, and fun. The food was delicious - I couldn't believe we made it (and how easy it was to do so). Highly recommend!
