Not worth the time, made a 1 1/2 hour trip to take a ramen course for them to cancel the class less than a half hour before start time because chef didn't want to come in, no back up chefs, just told oh well! read more

Booked a $280 class through Chase. Later canceled my Chase card (after verifying with them that my Cozymeal booking was still valid). Then Cozymeal canceled the class, and now refuses to transfer the payment to another class. They tell me to go to Viator or Chase, but Viator can't do anything and Chase says the refund has to come from Cozymeal -- and I can't even receive a refund through Chase anymore because that card account is closed. So I'm just supposed to lose $280? Rhoda Lopez at Cozymeal was unhelpful and just kept repeating herself. No solutions. No accountability. Just finger-pointing. I've never experienced such a frustrating and shady setup. Avoid this company at all costs -- they do not stand by their own bookings. #CozymealFail #CustomerServiceNightmare #TheyCanceledNotMe #CozymealScam read more

We had such a fun time at Chef Edmond's dumpling class! My husband and I made dumplings from scratch for the first time, and Eddie was super encouraging, upbeat, and helpful the whole way through. The dumplings turned out delicious, and he even topped off the meal with his homemade braised pork belly and dessert--such a nice touch! The whole experience felt really homey and relaxed, with a small, intimate group that made it even better. Would definitely recommend for a date night, friend hangout, or even a team bonding activity. Can't recommend this class enough!!! read more

They advertise chefs coming to your residence for in home cooking lessons but they always decline to come for whatever reason.

The food is excellent! A great breakfast place. I know we have all complained about the lady's personality. Well, I took my Grandson about a week ago and she was pleasant. She said hello and had a smile. I'm praying for her to continue positive energy and customer service with a smile and a welcoming spirit. Thank you for being warm. read more

Great experience. Chef Polly was the best and the food we made was fun and delicious. Communication through the Cozymeal platform was easy and convenient! read more

So we took the cooking class with Chef Natasha and it was a really different way to learn how to cook a meal. There are a few other people but it was nice the group was small. I like the way that she explained everything and was very patient with all of us. She really had her hands full because we were such a diverse group of people with different cooking experience. But she did a fantastic job and our meal turned out very good! read more

Not at all what we expected. Was very disappointed and felt like it was a home cook cooking something from their refrigerator. When we asked what cooking schools the "chef" went to, there were none. Nor did the chef have any food industry experience. Her take on the menu was not what was advertised. I would not recommend this company. read more

Had an amazing time at Cory's rum cocktail-making class! It was very informative and casual. There was time to sip and chat in between cocktails, so it made the experience more personal and felt almost like being in-person. Loved that we could ask questions along the way, and Cory had a great attitude! Plus, the cocktails (daiquiri, mojito, and queen's park swizzle) were all delightful. My recommendation for Cozymeal would be to more explicitly state what we need to prepare beforehand (make simple syrup, have these types of glasses ready, have straws, already squeeze your limes to have X amount of juice, crush some ice, etc.) since many of us were scrambling to prepare and portion ingredients and got a bit behind when preparing the cocktails. A group of us signed up for this cocktail-making class to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a fun way to do something together when we all need to be apart. read more

I signed up for a cooking class this afternoon for a 7pm dinner for 2 people on the cozy meal website. This class was at the Sur La Table in Palo Alto. My sister was in town for her birthday and we had a whole evening planned out. After I booked it, I received an email saying it was pending chef approval. I then called the Cozy Meal 800 number and wanted to confirm it was in fact booked and not pending. I was on the phone with the rep who told me the chef had just approved the class for us both. I was charged $187. We canceled our other plan as we really wanted to do the cooking class and were so excited we got in. We arrived to Sur La Table in Palo Alto at 7pm sharp. We walked into the cooking room, were greeted, put on aprons. We then noticed we didn't have name tags. We walked up to the chef who told us she had us on NO reservation, she did not have our names nor did they have space for us or ANY extra FOOD for us to even join the class. I showed her our booking made through Cozy Meal, and she said she didn't know why there was a lack of communication to her and it was Cozy Meal's mistake. I have honestly never had an experience this poor. I am honestly still stunned by the experience and operation of this whole thing. We drove 73 miles to get to this class on time, we were doing this as part of a birthday celebration. When I called Cozy Meal, the woman apologized, and said she would issue a refund and told me to have a good night. Unfortunately, this experience was not repaired by issuing me a refund after wasting 3 hours total of my life, ruining this night, and being humiliated when showing up and there was no room for us. I will be letting others know this app is absolutely horrible and not ever using it again. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I am sad a company like Sur La Table has partnered with Cozy Meal if this is how operations work. I was a HUGE fan of Sur La Table, but this experience was absolutely unacceptable. read more

Polly was an amazing host. This was better than anything I could have hoped for. We learned a lot, ate a lot and had plenty of awesome conversations about the Korean culture and food. Wholeheartedly recommend a class with Polly. read more

We loved Chef Maggie's vegan French cooking class through Cozymeal. Despite having taken other cooking classes in the past, we learned new knife skills techniques and facts related to the meal from Maggie. She's a delight to be around and we had fun cooking with her. We particularly appreciated how she set us up for success: focusing our efforts on chopping and tasting for balance, while explaining her cooking technique along the way. The meal was absolutely delicious. We are excited to make it again with her instruction in mind. read more

Had a terrific experience! I did the Traditional Pork Dumplings class with Chef Eddie, and my date and I had a fantastic experience. Highly recommend! read more

I took the "Traditional Pork Dumplings" class with Chef Eddie. 10/10 this was an amazing class, and I strongly recommend it! Chef Eddie taught us how to prepare the dumpling dough from scratch. This consisted the kneading, the resting, the breaking off pieces, rolling them out, how to stuff and cook them. What I really appreciated what how creative he was in his teaching methods. For demonstration and practice, he had a rough practice dough for us to practice with while our dough was resting. He even had us practice pleating with Playdo, which I thought was brilliant! There was even a little camera to project what his fingers were doing onto a large TV, so that watch either the finesse of the fingers or the larger view. Chef Eddie also made sure to check in on how we were doing, and provided regular and frequent feedback so that we learned how to do everything correctly. And it worked - all the dumplings in our class survived! In addition, he also demonstrated how to braise pork belly (which was delicious), and how to prepare Tang Yuan as a rice-flour dessert variant of the dumpling. Chef Eddie had us try various soy sauces so that we could experience how they vary in flavor an quality, and also explained to us the stories and cultural significance of these dishes. I absolutely loved this class, and if any of my friends express curiosity in how to make dumplings I will immediately direct them to Chef Eddie. If I could take it again, I would! read more

The weekend brunch with Chef Mike was amazing!! The meal was as delicious as it looks on the menu! He was welcoming and personable. Everything was well organized, with the perfect amount of work for everyone to learn, prep and cook. We thoroughly enjoyed our Weekend Brunch experience with Chef Mike.

While visiting my daughter in NYC we decided to take a cooking class - we chose a French meal by Chef Paul. From start to finish it exceeded our expectations. From the extremely professional and beautiful work kitchen, the friendly guests that joined us, and most especially our wonderful host Chef Paul. Three hours of hands-on cooking including easy directions for Cornish game hen, scalloped potatoes, wonderful salad and dressing and to top it off - a raspberry chocolate soufflé. His understanding of teaching made it possible for all of us to feel extremely comfortable and professional. We all agreed it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time and felt capable of re-creating it in our homes. Thanks for a wonderful, memorable experienceChef Paul! read more

My girlfriend and I took the Paella Class with Chef Daniel on November 5th 2022 for her birthday weekend. Chef Daniel was funny, engaging, and very helpful. His space was spacious, and he emphasized keeping our cooking stations clean. We shared his space with 2 other couples and a family of 3. The class consisted of learning how to make a couple easy appetizers and the paella. The chef also made a couple desserts that complimented our final meal. Overall, I thought the cooking experience was great, though you might find you and your significant other arguing a little if you haven't cooked together before. I highly recommend the experience, and would do another class with Chef Daniel in the future. Go check them out! read more

Good communication. Fantastic cooking lesson and meal in our own home. Chef was very personable and well prepared. He also cleaned up!

I gifted a sushi-making class with Chef Mike to my wife for her birthday because she had been talking about wanting to learn. We had a great time! Chef Mike was a clearly experienced and patient teacher and we now feel perfectly equipped to keep going on our own. I appreciated that he also explained the "why" of everything we were doing, and even gave us bamboo mats after the class for our home kitchens. Highly recommend this class! read more

What an amazing evening we had last night with Chef Carlos! He is a hidden treasure in your Cozymeal Team. We enjoyed our program very much and he far exceeded our expectations! He's a great teacher, a fun person and was full of energy and kept the program moving. I've already been receiving multiple comments from the participants, all who enjoyed their time at the event VERY MUCH! Chef Carlos was AMAZING! It was 1AM in Madrid and you would never know it from his abundant energy, fun personality and professional teaching skills. His camera angles showed us each step and he kept the show at a high, entertaining level. We were all VERY impressed. Our Cooking Event was a complete success! Thank you, Debbie, Chef Carlos and everyone at Cozymeal!!! I'm so glad I found YOU, Chef Carlos and Cozymeal and we were able to share this experience with my colleagues. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Very professional, very personal and very kind. The world needs more Debbies and Carloses!!! read more

Actually, horrible would better describe our experience. A warning: stay away from this outfit, they're the worst I've ever encountered. To start the Chef teaching the cooking class was 2 1/2 hours late. said she had a party the night before and forgot about our noon class. Then in an effort to make up time she rushed through the class in one hour and 20 minutes. Teaching not a single thing. As she poured a pre-mixed sauce into a pan we asked what was in the sauce. she said it was a secret she couldn't tell us about. Our Chef told us she was an expert in black soul food. What the hell was she doing teaching an Asian cooking class. The whole experience defies logic. After the class I tried to contact Cozymeal. They wouldn't talk to me. Well everyone can do as they wish but I certainly suggest staying far away from these idiots. read more

Booked a sushi-making class with a local chef in my town as a surprise for my partner's birthday. The booking date and time were confirmed by Cozymeal customer support and my card charged accordingly. Great, all set, I thought. The event rolled around and the chef didn't show up. Cozymeal informed me that my booking had been canceled the following morning. What a terrible experience! I had to let down my partner's friends after promising a fun private cooking class and we had to settle for takeout instead. Terrible experience. Totally inadequate customer support communications. I tried calling customer support on the night and got sent to voicemail, and that was that. So I would not recommend you rely on Cozymeal for your event in future - because they let me down in a big way when it really counted. read more

Chef Mike was organized, personable, knowledgeable, and produced delicious end products. Definitely my go-to for future classes.

My office team did the Iron Chef competition with Chef Anja. From start to finish, the experience was purely AMAZING. We arrived to wine and crackers before noon! We soon learned that the competition would be held in a REAL restaurant kitchen. It was an amazingly trendy little Italian restaurant in the city. Apparently they host in a number of different restaurants. After some brief instructions, competition rules, and some amazing background on Chef Anja (I loved her career story and warm personality), the competition began. This is like legit Iron Chef - secret ingredient, theme, ingredients, and your originality. The judges tasted our dishes and then we sat down and sampled each team's dish. I really like my coworkers so there was not Hell's Kitchen screaming in the kitchen or any stabbing with knives, but dang that kitchen was small and hot. Loved this team offsite. I would highly recommend it to anyone for bonding and fun. read more

5 Stars actually isn't enough regarding our experience with Chef Nancy with Cozymeals!! My Husband & I had an exceptional experience with Chef Nancy on last night for a night based on Everything Adobo!! We were welcomed into Chef Nancy's home by her & her husband, and I must say the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming!! We totally enjoyed every aspect of this experience from beginning to the end!! Chef Nancy takes great pride in her Philippian Culture!! She was so prepared and explained every ingredient as well as the meaning behind each one. Not only was the food delicious, but the experience was quite delightful! We ended up staying an extra hour after the meal enjoying the company of Chef Nancy, her Husband Bob as well as another lovely young couple! This was an experience we will never forget! You should definitely give Chef Nancy a try!! read more

Chef Danushka's "Elegant and Season Italian" menu was delicious. My partner and I decided to try something new for date night and the cooking class was great change of pace. We made homemade croutons which was an absolute game changer, delicious squash risotto, herb chicken, and the best Nutella brownies I've ever had. We'd definitely recommend learning with her as her teaching style is very student friendly and easy going. The night went smoothly and we only have good things to say about this experience. read more

This was a simply horrible experience. I spent almost $700 and got NOTHING, and also ruined an important family birthday. First problem was their website, which allowed me to book a date and time the chef had previously booked for someone else. The chef kindly rebooked me, but then family members got sick. I communicated with Cozymeal about reducing the booked number--which again the website allowed-- but then failed to communicate with the chef who blamed ME. After this much aggro I simply canceled the whole thing. $700 poorer and wiser: this company does not have their customer experience together. read more

We had Chef Mari and learned about the history of ramen and all the various ingredients that goes into the bowl. It was an awesome experience being able to learn more about all the different types of ramen and simultaneously get the try to different soups and noodles. We got to add our own soup bases and make gyoza and I am excited to try to make this at home! Chef Mari is a lovely lady that is very knowledgeable and welcoming. She makes some extremely delectable pork belly and garlic paste. She loves to teach and I'm happy to receive her recipes! read more

Wonderful! This class was a gift for my husband's 38th birthday because he loves to cook. This was our first time using Cozymeal and Chef Davide gave a great class. My husband made risotto before and it didn't come out the way he wanted. Today he learned how to do it right and it tasted great! Really love how chef told us the history of Trivoli which made the experience very cool ( I googled the fountains he spoke about). We will reserve a class again and we highly recommend! read more

Chef Davide led us through an intimate cooking class to make homemade pasta, sauce and raviolis. This was my first time doing something like this and we had a ton of fun! Chef Davide was sure to be clear about the ingredients and directions while maintaining an easy-going pace for us to keep up with. He checked on us through each step and was able to give individual feedback to help us along (especially me when I struggled with my sticky dough!). I planned this as a date night with my wife, so if this is your first cooking class together, a virtual one is a great option. Be prepared for a bit of a mess, but be more prepared to thoroughly enjoy your food & time with Chef Davide! read more

My boyfriend and I took a curry class with Chef Sara in San Francisco, and we had such an amazing experience. Sara introduced us to spices we'd never used, explaining how she prepares them and what spice combo she uses for different recipes. We both now feel confident that we could recreate some of her instructions since she explained them so clearly and showed us step by step. Our curries, rice, lentils, and roti were fabulous, better than ordering takeout! We can't wait to book her again at some point and learn even more cuisines, like Burmese! read more

Our team of 7 spent two hours with Chef David learning about the exciting flavors of Spanish Tapas. The entire experience was fun, easy-going and delicious! When we arrived, the entire area was setup with enough aprons and place settings for everyone to get messy and enjoy the food to come. Fresh ingredients were prepped to get started and the small gas stove and cookery was perfect for a group our size. Chef David explained the overall menu and his background, making us salivate even more when we heard the inspiration of his menu. We got started with dessert, since it needed time to chill in the fridge. He showed us techniques like whisking the crema in a double boiler and using heat sparingly while creating the base mixture. It was hard work but the end result was phenomenal. We next cooked the first course, a Spanish style tortilla, which is more like an egg frittata but with potatoes, snap peas and other ingredients. The tortilla was deceptively simple to make, and all of us felt confident we could replicate it at home. This was paired with a phenomenal romesco sauce, mad with toasted walnuts and paquillo peppers. When it was time to plate, he even showed us a few techniques on creating a great presentation. By this point, we were ready to just dig in -- and the food was INCREDIBLE. So velvety and soft, and the cheese and light salad pairing put us in heaven. After the tortilla, we made the next "main" course, gambas -- or Spanish prawns cooked in a savory sauce. Chef David has his own interpretation which uses huge Mediterranean prawns tossed in a very garlicky, sherry based sauce. This dish only took a few minutes to make, which was perfect because we came prepared to eat! I should mention you can BYOB some wine, which made the event light hearted and fun for our team. After devouring the shrimp and feeling stuffed, we returned to the crema dessert that had been chilling for us. Chef David allowed us to use hot plates to caramelize the sugars we placed on top, or we could opt for a blowtorch... which I obviously selected. We finished the dessert with a fresh, crunchy cookie mixture, edible flowers, and expertly cut citrus slices. The dessert was light and full of flavor -- a perfect compliment to the rich flavors we enjoyed before. Overall, we not only had delicious food but the Chef and his training really made us come together and feel confident in completing his course. Chef David was funny and had great passion for his cooking, so we all just fed off that energy. We definitely will do more classes with him and Cozymeal. read more
