Honestly, I'd much rather spend the money on this cooking class and have the food experience this came with, than eat at a restaurant and be close to the same price anyway. The instructor (Chef Izzy) was super cool and did a great job making sure everything came out the right way. The facility and tools that they arm you with are top notch as well. Overall, amazing experience and cannot wait to come back.

She was encouraging and supportive even though I was falling behind everyone else. But she also made me feel as though I was doing everything right the first time. We learned to make 3 different types of pasta, shaping them ourselves based on the instructions given. Then we made a butter and some other ingredient sauce to go over the noodles as well as enough cheese to make a goat jealous. All in all this was a fun class and definitely something we will try again in the future!

Ok ok ok!!!! This was so much fun and a great date night !! It was at the north 5th brewery, behind…read morethe bar area there is a separate section where they brew the beer. They had a cute set up with picnic tables and all the supplies and apron and everything was laid out and easy for you. Think of PaintNite but with cooking. You buy your drinks at the bar and then come back to your table, no server. This place specifically only served beer and wine, and non alcoholic drinks by the can. But the beer was good!! The pasta was fantastic, and so easy to make! Just 2 ingredients! She was a great teacher and you learn 3 different styles of pasta to make. My favorite was the gnocchi. Also, you get to take the recipe home with you so you can make it again later. I would love to do this again, but maybe try a different type of class next time. I know they have sushi and a couple other options! You definitely got to give this a try!!!! So much fun!!

What a wonderful, new way to experience food! My husband surprised me by arranging a private chef…read moreexperience at our home through Cozymeal. Now we're spoiled and want to do this more often. This would be a wonderful experience for a variety of situations. It was great for an at home date night. I could see doing this with friends who have kids so everyone could gather without hiring a sitter. It'd also be a fun foodie friend get together option. My husband chose Cozymeals for a couple of reasons. The website has clear menus listed so you can choose a menu you'll enjoy. The website makes it easy to find the cost and to book the experience. My husband chose the Upscale Southern Comfort Favorites with Chef Corby. We were very happy with the delicious food and enjoyed chatting with Chef Corby. Here's how the private chef experience works. Choose your city and private chef experience on the website. They also offer other experiences like classes. From there you'll choose from a long list of menu options like southern food, brunch, Italian, Thai, or surf and turf (to name a few). Choose your meal and then book and pay through the site. You'll soon get notification that the chef has accepted your booking. The experience is three hours with the chef arriving one hour before meal time. You'll book your time based on the time you'd like to eat. Chef Corby and his helper arrived with two large totes, asked a couple of questions about our kitchen, and started cooking. Our Southern meal was four delicious courses. The Louisiana Shrimp and Grits were so good. The grits were creamy and cheesy. The shrimp were lightly breast and a little spicy. The Smoky Macaroni and Cheese with Andouille Sausage was rich and full of thick cheese sauce. The andouille sausage was a tasty addition. The main course was my favorite. Barbecue Baby Back Ribs with corn and garlic beans. The ribs were tender with the meat falling off the bone and the bbq sauce was fantastic. I loved the garlic beans too. The Southern Bread Pudding was a tasty ending with a great caramel bourbon sauce. I loved the entire meal! Chef Corby impressed us with this excellent menu and the tasty execution. I enjoyed watching him cook the meal up and the cooking tips he shared along the way. The portions were very generous, even yielding plenty for leftovers the next day. At the end of the meal, they cleaned everything up and left my kitchen as they found it. I'm a clean freak so the idea of someone cooking in my kitchen made me nervous. I'm glad I gave it a chance because it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Cozymeals and Chef Corby for a special, delicious dining experience.

Training at the Melissa Coppel Chocolate and Pastry School was an extraordinary experience. Melissa…read moreis not only one of the most creative and technically accomplished chocolatiers in the industry; she is also a remarkably generous teacher. She shares her techniques openly, explains the reasoning behind every process, and challenges her students to think beyond recipes and develop their own creative voices. The program was exceptionally well organized, and the range of products, techniques, equipment, and possibilities we explored was incredible. Melissa's approach to dragees, candy bars, bonbons, flavor development, and modern production completely changed the way I look at chocolate. Even as an experienced chocolatier, I left with new techniques, fresh ideas, and a renewed excitement for what is possible. The entire team worked incredibly hard throughout the week and created a professional, inspiring environment. Melissa's artistry is unmistakable, but what impressed me most was the depth of knowledge behind it. She teaches you not simply how to reproduce her work, but how to understand it. She loves what she does and that passion can be felt through this bootcamp. This was an invaluable investment in my education, and I would enthusiastically recommend the school to any serious chocolatier or pastry professional. Melissa Coppel is a true innovator, an exceptional educator, and an absolute force in the chocolate world. It was my pleasure to spend a week with her.

We scheduled adult cooking classes through the website. We were called by our chef the day before…read morenotifying us that the classes were for children and that the booking was a mistake. They offered to reschedule but only during the week when we have work. We asked for a refund and were never contacted by anyone at all. I've called the number listed on the site at least 20 times and left multiple voicemails. I've still not been contacted back. I only got through to a person once, whom told me to send an email to thejoyfullkitchen@gmail.com. I received a response from someone else named Jill informing me she wasn't associated with this company. So it really seems like you just schedule people for the wrong event, charge them 100 bucks and then ignore them into eternity. A complete FAILURE of customer service. I would like my money back and WILL NOT be recommending these classes to anyone. This is ludicrous and I can't tell you how frustrating this is. If you are looking into booking these classes, SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME & FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

I went to one of her free classes at Whole Foods today. She was funny, charming and entertaining for two straight hours of vegan cooking. On the menu was salad, dressing and jambalaya. You might think learning about how to make salad would be a snoozefest, but Mayra knows how to make it fun and delicious. She doesn't measure ingredients, adds whatever she (or her audience) wants and throws in all sorts of tips during the session. She encourages everyone to try vegan food (or go vegan) by being passionate and excited, but not preaching. She and her team made every effort to ensure their guests were fed, able to ask questions and had a good time. She said she's opening a restaurant downtown in July--looking forward to that! Chef Mayra definitely cooks with lots of yummy ingredients and love.

As I entered i was not greeted, so just walked over to art table and grabbed a seat. Waited about 30-45 minutes (there were other patrons waiting as well) was unsure who worked there as everyone had an art apron on. Eventually someone appeared at the front desk, walked over to check in and order food and drinks. They have libations (beer, wine, cocktails), water and mocktails. The food menu was limited (chips with various dips salsa, guacamole, aioli, Bavarian pretzel with dip, and other small snacks). Tried the chips with salsa and guacamole as well as the Bavarian pretzel (two nice sized pretzels). Our drinks came out first. We had to have them remade as they included edible glitter which wasn't listed on the drink ingredients we initially ordered. The chips, dip and pretzel were plenty to share between 2-3 people easily. The art class instructions didn't begin until about 745P. Not exactly sure what was going on regarding starting so late. But. Nonetheless, During the down time there are ice breaker cards on each table. Once the class started it was over by 845P. Overall a great experience but efficiency and time management is lacking.

My friend wanted to do the resin project for her birthday so of course I said yes! I've never…read moreplayed with resin before. There wasn't a lot of people here the night we went so we had lots of table space. Our table was set up with our boards, gloves, sand paper & rags. Racheal was our instructor and she was AWESOME! Paula was working that night too & helping out. She got us our drinks & food and she was also great too! We had enough time to look over the menu & place our orders. I was exited to see that they just didn't serve beer & wine but had Truly's & a cocktail menu. I didn't see this on their website. I tired the glitter bomb even though they were out of cotton Candy & replaced it with something else which worked out. Later on I ended up ordering the pepperoni pizza which looked amazing & tasted amazing too! Was just right! Rachel explained the process prior to us starting. We were able to see other designs that were on the wall. You pick out a stain if you want to have some of the board stained which will show because you don't cover it up with your colors/glitter. Beware resin won't come out of your clothes or your hair. So bring something to put your hair up & be careful what you wear. You do get an apron to use but it doesn't cover up your clothes completely. I even brought some of my own glitter because I want sure if they had pink glitter but they have lots of colors to choose from. We had plenty of time to work on our project but once you stir your resin to get the bubbles you have 20 minutes to work with it. My friend brought her mother too & her birthday was a couple days after my friend's. Rachel was fun & had everyone sing happy birthday to them. :-) You need to leave your final project there for 24hrs so it can dry. My friend was suppose to pick mine up & give it to me next time I see her. I really liked the end product & can't wait to see it & use it for something. It's safe to serve food on it. I'd definitely come back for a future art project! This place so reminded me of school and art class. 5/5 stars! Thanks for the fun night Rachel & Paula! P.S. just a suggestion...you should have an air freshener & poop spray for the bathroom.
