Great introduction to the science of pasta and the landscape of things you can do with 4 ingredients. We got to explore color and texture and make 3 very different pastas (and 3 meals worth of food) in the 2-hour session. Definitely recommended.

We had a great time learning how to make pasta. Chef Ryan does a great job ensuring we get an opportunity to do everything plus enjoy his talented cooking. Thank you for the great experience and tips we can use in our own kitchen!

My roommate and I had so much fun taking a class with Chef Ryan! He was knowledgable, patient and full of interesting anecdotes and helpful hints. Thanks Chef Ryan!

Chef Ryan is a rockstar. I gave this class to my boyfriend for Christmas and had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, we were blown away not only by how good the food ended up being, but how great of a teacher Chef Ryan was and how hilarious he is! We really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to try another of his classes AND to visit his new pasta shop on Fillmore.

Chef Ryan created a great experience for our team of 15. The venue was great and was the perfect balance of instructional and fun. Highly recommended.

Loved the experience. While I do wish there was more hands-on things to do in the class, learning how to make pasta was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday early afternoon with my boyfriend (it was a surprise Christmas gift/date for us both). Chef Ryan is funny, chill, and down to earth. I liked the vibe he set out, and the 2.5 hours breezed by. And my goodness, the FOOD. My favorite from the menu was the Strascinati "Guisantes" (with pea green strascinati pasta) â€“ holy sh*t, lemon marscapone paired with the bright greens made this party in my mouth that left my jaw hanging. Freshest, tastiest pasta dish I've tasted that I can proudly say I contributed to with my own two hands! Hoping to take more of his classes down the line. :) Thanks, Chef Ryan!

What a great night! Chef Ryan told it as a story. Learned a lot about pasta.. and food.. and Italy.. and food.. :) Awesome technique and tutoring by the Chef and wonderful, homey surrounding made it even better.

Chef Ryan was amazing! We lucked out and it was just me and my boyfriend so we got a very personal experience. The pasta was great and he showed us how easy it really is to make! I want to start making all my pasta fresh from now on. Highly recommend Chef Ryan and can't wait to go to his restaurant when it opens! :)

Chef Ryan was amazing! We lucked out and had a very intimate group (just Ryan, myself, and my best friend). The pasta was SO AMAZING. Especially the homemade rabbit sausage the chef had ready for the class. We'll be taking more classes with Ryan!

Chef Ryan was awesome! He was incredibly friendly, responsive to questions, and knowledgable of his craft. There were lots of couples at our class, and I think everyone left thinking this was a lovely (and delicious) date night. We especially appreciated that Chef Ryan showed us how to prepare some less common dough recipes and pasta shapes. One note: even though the title of the class is "Advance Pasta Making", my date and I went in without any previous pasta making experience and were completely fine.

Great experience! We loved the food, how easy he made it for us, and how he went above and beyond to show the team even more pasta making tools!

Chef Ryan was an excellent person for our group to look to cook from. We had a party of 6 and it was a surprise birthday party for my fiance. I was a little anxious as to how the night was going to turn out but everybody had a great time! He was very accommodating to all our needs and everyone of us got to make pasta. The pasta dishes were all delicious as well. Don't hesitate to book this chef for your event!

Incredibly well paced in its execution. Chef Ryan was seriously the best. You could tell he really thought it all out, knowing when to have us watch him, and when to let us take ownership. It was just an all around fun, insightful, and interesting experience. Highly recommend to anyone considering taking this course.

We had a great time at Chef Ryan's Pasta Class! The class size was perfect -- large enough to enjoy the social aspect but small enough that it felt like an intimate & hands-on experience -- and the recipes were delicious. Ryan did a great job balancing the informative & demo-like aspects of the class with hands-on participation, and it was a lot of fun working in a commercial kitchen space. Definitely recommend this class for all pasta lovers!

I gave this class as a holiday gift to my boyfriend, and we really enjoyed our evening with Chef Ryan. There were seven of us in total in the class with a range of ages and cooking background, and he was able to cater to everyone's questions and skill level. We brought a bottle of wine to enjoy while we cooked and it was just a perfect, chill Thursday night - highly recommend for other couples or even singles looking to meet people.

Chef Lee created a great atmosphere where we could experiment with the cooking based on what we liked and still had a lot of fun. She also had some great tips for cooking and chopping that I will take with me. Thanks for a great event

Booked the class Mediterranean Flavors with Chef Afreen in San Francisco (Presidio)

Chef Afreen is amazing. My FiancÃ© & I felt very welcome in her home and we learned so much. We are already applying her lessons to our cooking. I highly recommend her class.

Tim N.

Booked the class In-house Steakhouse with Chef Shelby

Chef Shelby designed her menus and classes in a way that was exceptionally fun. She gave me some great advice about cooking steak but as far as my favorite dishes, it was a really a toss-up between the meat and the chanterelles; both were so savory and flavorful!

Sydney M.

Booked the class Israeli Fusion Menu with Chef Lee

Chef Lee blends flavors from all around the world and has such a beautiful personality. Learning from her is definitely a highly enjoyable experience! She is excellent at teaching basic cooking skills that will inspire and encourage you to get back in the kitchen. Her food makes you feel healthy and strong but in no way do you feel like you are sacrificing flavor. Loved the lamb meatballs and tahini dressing!

An amazing meal with a talented and personable chef! Each dish was prepared expertly with unique flavors and beautiful presentation. Thanks Chef Afreen!

Booked the class A Moroccan Feast with Chef Nicole

This truly was a Moroccan feast. Everything was incredible, from the simple, refreshing carrot salad to the perfectly balanced orange blossom cake with fresh figs. Chef Nicole is a very knowledgeable teacher and has great stories from her travels around the world!

Gerald W.

Booked the class In-house Steakhouse with Chef Shelby

We arranged for Chef Shelby with Cozymeal to come to our house for Spanish tapas with 10 adults. We had expectations regarding the tapas because half our family is Spanish; we have traveled extensively in Spain, and we wanted to learn how to make them. The menu consisted of : â€¢ Serrano Ham with Melon â€¢ Traditional Spanish Frittata â€¢ Roasted Red Pepper Salad with Smoked Chili Oil â€¢ Albondigas in Saffron Almond Sauce â€¢ Prawns with Garlic and Chili â€¢ Grilled Lamb Brochette â€¢ Spanish Flan We were a little hesitant with some of the items, especially those with chili oil and chilis, but figured the chef wanted to do some fusion. We were open to that as we thought we would learn something new. Our review: Positives: â€¢ Shelby and her assistant were friendly â€¢ Fresh ingredients from reputable stores â€¢ The comfort of our own home. No need to rush to get out of a cooking facility Negatives: â€¢ No Interactive Class - we had specifically requested the cooking class be interactive as we wanted to learn by doing things ourselves. However, Shelby would tell us what we were going to do but we never really had a chance to do it. For example, she would say to us that we were going to cut the lamb as she showed us how; but by the time she finished talking, the lamb was already cut, and therefore, we were just standing and watching. We counted that half of our group didnâ€™t even participate once. This occurred several times with cutting melons, tomatoes, and other food. We thought she would bring the class together and make sure everyone participates. But at the end, It felt like a one-woman show. â€¢ Dialog â€“ A problem many of us is that we didnâ€™t understand her. She spoke too fast, and we had to ask her to repeat. â€¢ Utensils â€“ We had called before the class and asked what we needed to provide so that everything was ready when she got here. But, during the event, we were continually getting more bowls, more serving platters, and baking sheets. There were about four of us rushing around getting all of these things. More precise instructions would have been helpful and would have made better use of our time. We did not enjoy this. â€¢ Food Preparation/Stations â€“ Shelby said to create a few stations, so we set several areas with cutting boards. However, as previously stated, she and her assistant were doing all the work, and most of us were just standing around, some at one station and others at another. The session was highly unorganized and rushed. And because Shelby was doing several things at once, the meatballs and lamb were overcooked. Also, there were a lot of food items â€œthrownâ€ on a plate â€“ an antipasto platter that was just purchased from the store. More thought and detail could have been placed on the delivery of the presentation. Lastly, we werenâ€™t even sous chefs - more like kitchen porters, e.g., drying off prawns from the store, getting additional ingredients, and cookware. â€¢ Tapas in General â€“ Shelby told us that she worked off the menu but also wanted to get quality and fresh ingredients that were in season. We had no problem with this - but if you have traveled to Spain, you would know what tapas are. From our experience, the only thing that was tapas on the menu was the albondigas. In northern Spain, we had fantastic tapas that are put on bread and secured with toothpicks. We figured the menu would show us something cool and exciting that would involve typical Spanish tapas. Shelby told us about some of the spices she was using and how she incorporated into her dishes. While they were not Spanish; we were happy to learn about it. We also learned about a new melon, but we all knew how to put prosciutto around melon pieces. We recommend the chef ask the â€œstudentsâ€ about their cooking experience and adjust their teaching as needed. â€¢ Dessert â€“Tres Leches is not from Spain. Not even close. We did think it was interesting she took a sheet cake and put holes in it and added more cream and orange juice, but it was purchased and then altered. Conclusion: While the polite opinions of some of our guests varied, the overwhelming sentiment was that the service provided by Cozymeal was pretty disappointing, considering the overpriced cost of $110 per person. We did not receive a cooking class, but a very expensive catered dinner that we watched Chef Shelby and her assistant prepare as we scurried to get items and then later cleaned after the party. Shelby and her assistant were friendly, and I believe, meant well, they took the time to get fresh ingredients and shared with us a few spices and ingredient substitutions. This was at best an amateur cooking show â€“ we learned something, but many of us cook exciting things. In fact, during this cooking session, we decided to add some true Spanish tapa cuisine and cooked our own pulpo a la gallega and padron peppers. We recommend to Cozymeal that their chefs set clear expectations. Know your audience, know your cuisine, slow down, show us and then hand the work to the party. We are sorry to say, but we will not be using the Cozymeal service again and would also not recommend it to others.

Overall great experience. One feedback, it would have been nice if he were more friendly and approachable. He seemed to pick his favorites and was unfortunately not as nice to the rest. I thanked him before leaving and only got a staring glare. This was actually for my birthday so it just would have been a nicer experience if he weren't so unapproachable to the people he perhaps didn't like as much.

Amazing! Chef Ryan was so authentic and kind. His passion for teaching and food shows in a really comfortable and genuine way. You can tell that he really cares about what he does. This was my first Cozymeal class and was initially fearful that I'd mess everything up but Chef Ryan's approach in teaching made me feel that I can try making any of these dishes at home. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed his class and have already recommended others to take this class :)

Clear demonstration and lots of hands on! Would gladly take again

Kenn N.

Booked the class Comfort Foods of the Mediterranean with Chef Jess in San Francisco (Pacific Heights)

"Healthy" food gets a bad reputation for being flavorless and boring but Chef Jess turns the table on that notion and teaches you how to make flavorful, tasty food that's also good for you! Her Reimagined Pad Thai is complex, fresh and tasty. I loves me my meats and noodles but you won't miss those at all in this dish! The Kale, Chickpea and Sun-dried Tomato Salad is both hearty and flavorful; and I could eat the Cowboy Caviar Dip with a side of chips all day! Finally, the Spiced Chocolate Almond Butter cake was super chocolaty, moist and dense; with hints of sweet potato and cayenne pepper. Delish! The best part is that they're all super simple to make! Chef Jess' apartment is a beautifully decorated space that's welcoming, warm and comfortable-- much like Chef Jess herself! Very personable, super friendly and a joy to be around. It's hard to come up with a better way to spend an afternoon!

Chef Ryan was great! My husband and I have made pasta before, but nothing ever turned out like the meals we ate during this class. It was a good balance of leaning, watching, and doing. This class is great for people of all cooking levels - nothing is too challenging. It was also fun to bring your own bottle of wine and chat with everyone around you. I highly recommend the class and look forward to taking more through Cozymeal.

Booked the class Traditional Italian Pasta with Chef Ryan in San Francisco (Mission)

This was a class that I booked for my pasta-loving husband. We had previously tried making pasta at home following recipes, but always never knew if the results we were getting were consistent with the end goals of the recipe. Chef Ryan was welcoming and patient, and he taught us three great doughs, and ways to shape them with or without equipment. He was also quick to answer all our questions, and even did a small demonstration to show us what he was talking about when mixing pasta by hand. Looking forward to testing out our new found knowledge in our kitchen!
