It was a phenomenal experience for both kids and parents. The venue is spotless, the party bites thst we pre-ordered were loved by all, and most importantly, the kids had a great time together. Chef Paulo and Chef Rey really went out of their way to make everyone feel at home, and they made the educational experience both fun & seamless. Thank you, Sebastian, Ivette & Nina

Simply the best dinner lesson experience I've ever had. Chef Nuncio is not only talented but also a…read moregreat teacher. He took the time to explain the pasta making process in detail and gave us useful tips as well as teaching us a bit of history and geography. This is the complete package you guys! You will definitely learn and you will have a delicious professionally prepared meal at the end. We stated with a basic pasta dough that we kneaded by hand. While the dough rested we enjoyed a delicious fresh salad of greens, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes just drizzled with aromatic olive oil. Brought back memories of vacations in Italy where we made salad from the veggies growing from our garden. We continued in our pasta making journey by rolling out the dough and passing it through the pasta roller. Chef also demonstrated how to make different shapes of pasta and the history behind them. We the watched him prepare our pasta dinner! This was the most challenging part...mouths were surely watering! We were served pappardelle with mushroom ragout, and ravioles stuffed with truffled ricotta. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. I loved all the simple ingredients and the light natural flavors. Dessert was chocolate mousse with strawberries and fresh whipped cream! Heaven!! We all left with our very own pasta dough ...and I'm seriously considering practicing what I learned! This was such an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to trying something like this again.

Cozymeal is "AWESOME"…read more What a great experience it was for me and maybe for the group that attended with me as well. The length of the class was about 2.5 hours of incredible Pasta making and Pasta filling and shaping. Chef for the class was Chef Nunzio from Naples, Italy. Chef Nunzio was simply amazing. He has great charisma and is extremely talented. He took the time to explain the process, to make contact with each one of us at the class and to guide you as needed. Who knew that making pasta would be so much fun. We made Papardelle from scratch with a mushroom ragu and also ravioli stuffed with truffle oil flavoured ricotta-parmesan mix. (This was heaven in a spoon) Also created a small salad appetizer to let the pasta dough rest after the knitting process, with a simple yet delicious citrus vinaigrette. Ohhhh.... it is a BYOB kind of a deal that I didn't know about... So feel free to bring a nice bottle of wine to drink and share as others kindly did since I didn't bring any. I highly recommend Cozymeal to anyone wanting to learn. The "how to" process is incredible. Can't wait to see what other classes are available to sign in. Thumbs up for the Cozymeal team and thanks for this great opportunity. PS: the location was beautiful and nicely decorated.

To me the plain croissants are the truest expression of a French bakery.

Ayesha's energy is so contagious, we are all excited to get to cooking! This cooking class is not your usual cooking class. Instead of partnering with someone to cook each meal, everyone kind of just broke up in to groups and focused on different dishes. It was a bit chaotic but so much fun! Who knew cooking along a group of strangers in a strangers home could be so effortless? Ayesha made everything very easy. I attended the This Is It - Lamb course. We cooked a delicious salad, okra, lamb kebabs and lamb Rogan Josh. Every bite of each dish was out of this world. The food was lighter than Indian cuisine I've had in the past, I noticed she didn't use nearly as much cream as some recipes I've seen. Ayesha also taught us plenty about Indian spices and their multifunctionality. It's too bad that Ayesha lives all the way in Kendall. If she lived closer, I'd be over all of the time!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE! My wife and I attended the class that Chef Patty gave at the Miami Culinary…read moreInstitute in the downtown campus of Miami Dade College on Friday, March 5, 2022. We had a great time preparing the different dishes that she had planned out for that night. We prepared beef and chorizo empanadas, mahi ceviche and a plantain stuffed with goat cheese. All the dishes were delicious! Chef Patty is very personable, you feel like you are being taught how to cook by a friend. The class was called Culinarium: A Taste of Latin Fusion. She teaches various other classes covering a wide range of dishes. I strongly encourage anyone who likes to cook or wants to experience something different to take one of these classes. Throughout the class Chef Patty dishes out little tidbits of cooking tips. My wife and I also really enjoyed sitting down and talking with Chef Patty and her assistant Chef Jimmy and the rest of the attendees (there were only 2 others in our class, which was pretty cool) while we ate what we had cooked. Me and my wife will definitely be attending another one of Chef Patty's events as soon as we can. I'll reiterate, it was an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

Amber Antonelli honed her skills in the best California kitchens, served as a concierge chef to the stars and even created her own Häagen-Dazs flavor: Toasted Coconut Sesame Brittle. Her boutique catering company and culinary academy, The Naked Bite, is designed around making plants the central theme of the meal by using original recipes and accessible techniques. Amber and Co. are available for events, group or private classes and any session is customizable and can include humanely raised meat while retaining its focus on healthy lifestyle choices and organic ingredients. Popular 4-course menus include Seasonal South Florida, Sunday Brunch or Thai Food Demystified.

Miami was definitely missing an Amber Antonelli (the wonderful chef)!! If you're looking to escape your every day life in a home that has the best energy, relaxing ambiance, and AMAZING fresh food, definitely try out one of her classes. I swear I don't even feel like I'm in Miami when I am at her house (where the classes are held). From the moment you walk in through the door, you are greeted as if you have been friends forever. Amber definitely has the personality to teach these classes - she makes you feel comfortable, very personable, and she's EXTREMELY knowledgeable about everything she makes and all the ingredients she uses. She will take the time to explain why she is using a specific ingredient and will list the health benefits (i.e. coconut oil). Everyone is given the menu for the evening along with the recipes to every dish & the upcoming class schedule. You are also provided a pen to write down any notes and/or tips that will help you out when making the dish on your own. With around 10 people per class, the conversation flows very well & you learn so much from your new friends! Some of my favorite classes are the "Healthy Mexicana Flair, Ole!" and both "Thai Food Demystified" and "Thai 2" but she has classes that fit any palette: Italian, Vegan & Gluten Free, Kids Classes, Weeknight Meals, Vitamix Classes, the list goes on!! I would highly recommend The Naked Bite to both beginners (those who don't know how to cook at all) and experienced chefs. This is usually the range of people that surround the table at the classes & it's definitely nice to see both extremes learning so much from Amber. If you're not interested in the cooking classes but are in need of a "stay-cation", she has an underground dinner club where everything about the dinner is kept a secret until the day before! If that's not your thing and you just want to eat healthy, amazing food, look into her catering! Whatever you choose, I promise that any experience at The Naked Bite will be an unforgettable one. Definitely five stars!
