Chef Shahida was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in her sushi lesson for us, giving basic information about how to make rolls, a seasoning blend, and even sushi etiquette. She brought all equipment with her to our hotel (which did have a kitchenette) making things so much easier for us! We would love to take more classes from her and highly recommend her!

Chef Shahida was an absolute delight! She had excellent communication prior to the event, showed up early to get everything set up, and the experience itself was incredible. I did not expect to learn SO MUCH about the history of sushi, how different types of rolls came about, and cooking in general. Aside from her immense knowledge and positive and fun demeanor, the food tasted amazing! We ended up with a feast (appetizer, 4 rolls, and a poke bowl)! If you are debating about booking this class, DO IT! We 100% will be recommending Chef Shahida to our friends and for corporate events!

My husband is the king of surprises! This year, we came to Atlanta and he had friends from TN drive down to watch our four little ones while Chef Shahida made us an authentic Dominican and Haitian meal. I’ve heard of personal chef’s before but never a one time experience event like this. Once I stopped being shocked by the surprise, I settled into the comfort of Caribbean style food and the pleasure of good conversation with Chef Shahida and my husband. The presentation was professional quality, the taste was mouth watering, and the company was like an old friend. I am still bloated from all that amazing food, but although it’ll subside…I will always remember this experience. One for the books…or the next time we’re in town again!

Her choice of high quality ingredients and utensils, along with detailed explanation of each and comparable and affordable shopping options made the experience that much more enjoyable.

I had an AMAZING experience with both Chef Shahida and the Cozymeal Staff! I originally booked the Thai experience for my best friend's birthday, but as the date grew closer, our participation did as well. The Cozymeal staff was so helpful in adding the extra folks, handling payment, etc.
Our class was Chef Shahida was PHENOMENAL, she talked us through the steps of what she was making, as well as gave us variations on how to prepare it for ourselves at home. Her presentation was AMAZING and the food was a 10! We were all fighting to take the leftovers home :) She was so knowledgeable and professional and fun to chat with. We are already talking about the NEXT class that we want to book with her!!

Alan
18 Nov 2019
Chef was very good and personable. Wished we cooked more of the meal as we only rolled the dough and made pasta. I've been to some of these where we make the entire meal, this one was very limited in actually cooking. The pasta was hard, almost like it wasn't boiled long enough. Great experience for the team and building the teamwork. we enjoyed ourselves, but the meal overall wasn't good.
