My four daughters and I did this class as a girls night out. We learned to make the pasta dough and how to roll and cut it. We made filling and sauce to go with it. It was very hands on and delicious!! Francesca is a wonderful teacher, explaining process and products as we worked. We all enjoyed the class and the meal.

I brought my partner to celebrate his birthday and found this incredible course where we made pasta (my favorite) and NY steak which is my partner’s favorite. We had such a good time and enjoyed learning and cooking with Francesca. She’s an excellent chef who knows exactly how to prepare a 5 Michelin star meal. Everything was perfect, and the food was hands down one of the best I’ve had…and I consider myself a foodie with a sophisticated palette. Thank you Francesca for helping us make this a memorable experience!

My husband and I have been wanting to take a cooking class for awhile. We love steak and Italian food so much so Chef Francesca's Italian steakhouse class piqued our interest. The drive was reasonable to Torrance from South LA. Parking was easy. Her home was so cute and clean and charming! Chef Francesca is such a kind, focused and effective teacher and coach. My husband Jeremy and I got to share the workload evenly. What I loved was how easy and fast the recipes were and how easy it was to time everything out while keeping a clean kitchen. The food was superb and we had amazing leftovers the next day. We had an amazing time and would go back to her or try another class with Cozymeal. I even love how she teaches earlier so that she can be a present mom, just an awesome lady.
I feel like I can actually cook everything she presented. Please share with her or post so others know :)
Thanks a bunch!

What a lovely experience. 10/10!! My girlfriend and I booked this for Valentine's Day - pasta making in the morning. We were a bit hesitant to walk into a stranger's home with other strangers (lol), but Chef Francesca made us feel instantly right at home. Not only is she an incredible chef and clearly experienced, but she has a kind, positive soul and clearly loves what she does. Her home is also sweet. Contemporary and heartfelt touches of Italy. She also had cheese and crackers for us to touch on - real parm from Sardinia. We cooked two dishes altogether and they were YUM; portions were generous too...did not eat the rest of the day. So satisfied. Would absolutely recommend and do this again.

Great experience with Chef Francesca. She was a great chef and a lovely host. Such a kind person, and such great food! One note, this class is not as hands on as others I have had in the past. Chef duties are shared, you are not making your own dish from start to finish. Not a bad thing, just important to know if you prefer one type of class over another. Also, the chef chooses your sauces beforehand, so if you’re dead set against any of the sauces, let her know and she can accommodate. Would recommend!

My daughter and I had such a vibrant, fun, and awesome cooking class with Chef Francesca! Chef Francesca was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and fun to learn from. Both of us had a blast! I highly recommend this and we will for sure book with Francesca again. Her place was nice and clean; menu was great, food was fresh and super yummy! My daughter loved the pasta making experience. I loved the sauce we learned from Francesca. The various prepping and cooking techniques she taught us was useful and amazing. She helped us activate our taste buds and senses. LOVE this experience! Can't wait for the next cooking class with Chef Francesca! Grazie mille, Chef Francesca!

I gifted this pasta making class to my son for his birthday, and it was an absolute hit! Chef Francesca was an excellent teacher—her experience and expertise really shine through in how she guides you through the process. My son absolutely loved every minute of it.
The class reinforced something I've always believed: food is so much better when it's homemade. Now I'm genuinely looking forward to making these dishes at home and putting what we learned into practice.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the art of pasta making. Chef Francesca makes it approachable, fun, and truly memorable. Great gift idea, too!
