Booked the class Traditional French Bistro Favorites with Chef Linda in Tucson
We had a great time with Chef Linda! We learned history, new cooking techniques, and even how to use knives properly. On top of it all, we cooked some amazing food and had a delicious dinner! The class was so much more than following a recipe and throwing some ingredients together. We learned what we were doing and why. We learned in such a way that we are not likely to forget our lessons. I highly recommend Chef Linda and her classes for a fun time, great food, and great learning!
Booked the class Flavors of the Southwest with Chef Linda in Tucson
My wife and I gave ourselves a cooking class as a Christmas present: Flavors of the Southwest with Chef Linda of Sage Culinary - an independent contractor for Cozymeal. We learned to cook Antojito, made Pepita Caesar Dressing, had a blast making Santa Fe-Style Chile Rellenos and Pipian Rojo with Beans a la Olla, and for dessert Buñuelos and a Mexican Chocolate Sundae. We learned a lot about the food’s history (Linda is a food anthropologist!) as well as cooking techniques, prepping and roasting our own poblano chiles. I now can proudly say I know how to properly hold and use a chef’s knife. Linda was a great teacher! Great night of fun, learning, and delicious food!

Very pleasant experience. Chef Linda offered a little history, guidance on proper technique, and perspective on the science of it all. Along with the fact she did not rush to get through when we were well beyond the agreed time. Would recommend.

Booked the class Christmas Dinner on the Border with Chef Linda in Tucson
Our second cooking and learning evening with Chef Linda. . .what a delight. It is clear how much she loves what she does. Each element of the meal is brought together with care and attention to the cooking method at hand and a desire that we be able to replicate what she is teaching. It's fun having a local chef of this quality with whom we can spend an enriching, interesting evening.

Booked the class Fresh Seasonal Italian Fare with Chef Vince
We had such a great time with Chef Vince. We learned a lot; we laughed a lot. That poor man tolerated a lot of ridiculousness from us and just cooked so calmly. The food was delicious, and he answered innumerable questions all while he stirred and kneaded. I highly recommend an evening like this for everyone.

Booked the class Confident Italian Flavors with Chef Sarah in Tucson
She's very knowledgeable and has lots of tips for cooking and/or making a prep process easier, safer or quicker. We made potato gnocchi, bowtie pasta, and sausage tomatoes and spinach sauce for the bow tie pasta. Also a caramelized red onion for bruschetta appetizer. All was delicious. Bruschetta would be even better with a cheese which was also suggested by Sarah. Very nice evening. Only negative is that we didn't eat until 8:45pm which is a bit late for me and I was starving by then (I usually eat by 7pm). I'd prefer class that started a bit earlier--maybe 5pm instead of 6pm.

Booked the class Thai One On & Taste Traditional Thai with Chef Linda in Tucson
Wow, we had such a great time in the Thai cooking class with Chef Linda! My partner and I were looking for some skills and recipes for Thai food and wanted a fun experience for a belated birthday present. This class did not disappoint! At the start of the class Chef Linda gave us an introduction to the style of food we'd be learning to cook as well as the ingredients and where to get them. Then we jumped right in to learning how to properly hold a knife, prep the ingredients, and then right in to the cooking! We started with a yummy Tom Kha Kai ( a coconut chicken soup) which was amazing! Then, after that appetizer, we got started on the two main dishes for dinner (Panang shrimp curry and Chicken lettuce cups with peanut sauce). They were superb! Then we finished off with a Thai-spiced caramelized pineapple compote over ice cream. We also brought our own wine that Chef Linda let us open after the knife work was done. The food was great but Chef Linda's deep knowledge of Thai cooking and other traditions was really what made it special. The only thing we would have changed would have been to bring more friends to join in the fun and amazing food. We will definitely try more classes with Chef Linda in the future. Thank you so much for a great evening and for the lessons that will continue to provide for years to come! Highly recommended!!!!!

Booked the class Fresh Pasta From Scratch with Chef Sarah in Tucson
We cooked wonderful Italian food & an appetizer that we have since made at home. My husband & I had made pasta before, but Chef Sarah's recipe was much easier and the dough was easier to work with. The Caesar salad and story that went with it were fascinating! Also the story about tomatoes and when they were brought to the new world and what happened after that (no spoilers)! The sauce for the pasta was very simple and delicious. The dessert really rounded out the meal. We would definitely take a class with Chef Sarah again. It was also really nice to meet her mom, Chef Linda.
