Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
Gluten Free Dumpling Delights class taught my friends and I how to make dough for steamed dumplings with ground chicken, veggies and spices and we also used rice paper for a lightly fried veggie with chickpeas and spices roll. We assisted making these rolls. Chef Parsati showed us how to make the sauces for them. We also made a chocolate, mango dessert with coconut flour and cardamon spice. We all really enjoyed the flavors of the hot foods.
Chef was friendly, knowledgeable, social and helpful. Class was held in her home kitchen. She did prep work before we began and she cleaned up after we left. The table was preset for our meal. It was a lovely experience.

The Best Vegan Biryani Ever
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
Wow--we made Vegetable Biryani (easily made vegan) which was amazing. We accompanied it with tandoori potatoes and halwa for dessert. Chef Parsati was so welcoming and encouraging, talking fast and working at the same time in her well-stocked kitchen. My son gave me the gift of the cooking class for my birthday and I brought a friend. I bought a spice box from Chef Parsati so I could make this festive meal at home. So excited. What a fun adventure. Highly recommend to all.

We had SUCH a good time with Chef Parsati!! She made the class a very welcoming experience, in a homey setting, with plenty of hands-on instruction and fun. The recipes are _delicious_! My wife and I will 100% be making them in our kitchen, especially since Chef Parsati specifically talked about ways that we could adapt what she taught us to make them even more simple and easily even for a weeknight dinner.
I really appreciated that she was super-cognizant of our dietary restrictions and went the extra mile to make sure our concerns were addressed and the meal was enjoyable for everyone involved.

Adventures In Thai Cooking
with Chef Elham
in San Jose (Northside)
We took the adventures in Thai Cooking with Chef Elham. Loved it. Small class--3 couples so each worked on a separate recipe. Chef went over ingredients, how to prepare them, shared with us many of the unique ingredients and how to get them. The food was amazing, I left feeling like I could make any of these dishes at home, and cant wait to try them.

Perfecting Sushi Rolls
with Chef Elham
in San Jose (Northside)
We had a great time! Chef Elham opened up her home to us, had all the ingredients ready and provided a nice set up. There were 8 people in the class which made it a lot more fun. Such a great experience.
The downside to it (nothing to do with the chef) the app needs to be more clear on the area that you’re booking the class in… And… There needs to be more communication before they take your money.
This is legit class and the company is real. The way they book the class makes you feel like it is a scam. Other than that, Chef Elham made it a positive and fun experience.

Chef Drea was absolutely amazing! She made us feel so warm and really taught us what cooking is all about—love! She made us feel very comfortable and shared her skills, well distributed in a class full of 5. Definitely felt the 1:1 attention and she was also such a great host. Highly recommend her and her knowledge of cuisine (we took the sushi class) for anyone who is just beginning or even has a good level of experience!

Simple Vietnamese Classics

My husband and I took a cooking class (Vietnamese Cuisine) with Chef Roger--he is the BEST!!! An enthusiastic teacher, amazing/creative chef, and completely accommodated my dietary needs. His use of fresh, local (some from his backyard gardens!), and HIGH quality ingredients made our experience incredible. He was kind and patient and helped us learn cool hacks/techniques that will really enable us to replicate these dishes at home. We will DEFINITELY be using Cozymeal again--and 100% taking more classes with Chef Roger!

Japanese Rice Bowl
with Chef Motoko
Chef Motoko prepared a delicious and healthy Japanese lunch for us. She sourced many of the incredibly fresh ingredients for the meal from her own garden. A few of the ingredients I had never tasted before and we loved the flavors. Chef Motoko helped teach us how to make a simple and flavorful sushi bowl as well as a very unique miso soup both of which I can’t wait to make at home. I really liked Chef Motoko who was personable with a homespun style of instruction that was very easy to understand.  Â

Perfecting Sushi Rolls
with Chef Elham
in San Jose (Northside)
Chef Elham is a very nice lady! I definitely feel a lot more confident making sushi now, but I feel the class could have been a bit more strategical and organized. It was hard to move around in the space to get to some needed items. I also was a bit overloaded with all of the demos being completed at once and trying to remember everything once it was our turn. I could have taken notes though as I understand this is typical for a cooking class. We got to meet her dog who is wonderful, but he was barking for a long time in the back room and even though she was very apologetic, I couldn't help but still be irritated by it. I know it was only her 3rd class so I'm sure there will be much improvement as she continues her teaching endeavors.

The gluten-free dumpling class with Chef Parvsati was so fun and well organized. It was wonderful that she opened her home to our small group. Though I don't have any dietary restrictions I have loved ones who struggle with gluten so learning substitutes for delicious meals like dumplings was so great! She kept the lesson flowing so we were able to get through all the courses while still getting to know each other. I hope my schedule allows for me to take another one of Chef's classes!

Gluten-Free Dumpling Delights

An unforgettable, cozy family experience!
We took this gluten-free dumpling cooking class to celebrate my and my daughter’s birthdays, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it felt like being invited into a friend’s kitchen. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making sure everyone (including my husband and our two sons) felt involved and confident.
The dumplings were amazing—so flavorful and authentic you’d never guess they were gluten-free! We learned so many tips and tricks that we can’t wait to try at home. What really made the class special was how cozy and personal it felt; we laughed, cooked, and shared a truly memorable experience together as a family.
Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on, and delicious experience—especially if you’re gluten-free or just love learning to cook something new. We’ll definitely be back for another class!

Vegetarian Japanese Favorites
with Chef Parsati
in San Jose (Edenvale)
I took Chef Parsati’s vegetarian Japanese cooking class with my niece, and we absolutely loved it! The class was hands-on, beautifully organized, and full of flavor. Chef Parsati made the experience approachable and fun for all ages — she even added a braised salmon dish just for my niece, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We learned so many great techniques, from sushi rolling to stir-frying perfect yakisoba noodles, and everything we made tasted incredible — especially the homemade unagi sauce and the silky green tea custard to finish. The atmosphere felt like a true izakaya experience, and Chef Parsati’s warmth and knowledge made it even more special.
Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore Japanese cooking — whether you’re a beginner, a vegetarian, or just looking for a memorable culinary experience to share with family!

We signed up for the Thai cooking class with Chef Elham and had an incredible time. We’ve taken Cozymeal classes before- this by far was our favorite. Apart from the food being absolutely delicious, what stood out were the conversations with Chef Elham. We also walked away from the class with more confidence in the kitchen as a bonus. Thanks chef Elham for a great night, can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home!

Embarking on a culinary adventure with Chef Parasti through Cozymeal's private cooking class was an experience to cherish. Her warmth and hospitality shone through from the moment we began, making us feel right at home in the world of vegetarian Japanese cuisine. Chef Parasti's passion for cooking and her expertise in vegetarian dishes were evident as she skillfully guided us through each recipe, sharing tips and tricks that only a seasoned chef would know. The atmosphere was light and joyful, with laughter and learning blending seamlessly as we prepared delicious, healthful dishes. Her patience and encouragement inspired confidence in our cooking abilities, turning what could have been a daunting task into an enjoyable and educational endeavor. The end result was not just a meal, but a memorable experience that enriched our appreciation for Japanese cuisine and left us eager to explore more. Chef Parasti's class was not just about cooking; it was about connecting with food and each other in the most delightful way.

Class was very practical as we had hoped and followed the schedule described.
However, Chef Parsati spoke a lot about being a zero waste kitchen while frequently throwing out food that could be saved (such as a seaweed sheet she had ripped to show the size we were aiming for)
