The event held in the Chef's beautiful house & everything was well organized, well prepared & extremely flavorful! People at the group were very sweet & enjoyable to cook with. I highly recommend any event with Chef Mashav. She is really professional & knowledgeable!

What a fantastic tour by Mashav (the owner and the chef of Le Couloir)! Richmond neighborhood in SF…read moreis known for its mix of cultures, but Mashav masterfully uncovers all the hidden secrets and gems - Secrets only someone who lives in this community is familiar with. And she does that through food and hand-picked dishes that you will never uncover without a guide. Even though locations may change per tour, our group tasted a mix of cultures and got some stories behind the dishes, the restaurants, and their owners. Few examples - * Russian cuisine - Herring with a pickled onion on fresh bread * Indian street food - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this vegan street snack - I would have never ordered anything without meat, and I dislike spinach, but the fried spinach snack was mind-blowingly good. * Mexican - Quesadilla with plantain. Again, no meat but it was soooooo good. * Chinese - Glazed Pork and pork-filled bun I won't spoil the surprise for some of the other locations. And more, and more - Total of about 7-8 places. You won't stay hungry, guaranteed. The walk itself is not challenging; there are no hills to overcome, even though it's San Francisco. Don't wait - Just go!

Wow wow wow! We had an amazing time decorating macarons yesterday with the our team. Lindsay and…read moreJennifer were such a delight to work with. They taught us tips and tricks for all things macaron. No worries if you mess up! Just eat it and start over :) I had couple myself (who's counting?) The fillings and shells were delicious. I highly recommend them for private party, bachelorette night, corporate events, team building, any occasions!

We had Food La La (boy does that roll off the tongue) visit our office for a corporate event…read more Lindsay and a helper visited us for macaron decorating arriving in their matching little skirty aprons. First off, a demo. She showed us a unicorn and other pretty demos in about 2 minutes. She certainly has more talent in 2 minutes than I have in....ever LOL. Then it was 3,2,1...go! Anyway, a super relaxing activity (even though there was an eventual winner in a friendly competition). Decorations - paints, candy decorations, edible markers to draw Macarons - white, pink, orange, green Yummy buttercream...yes I was just eating the vanilla bean, also salted caramel and raspberry. Lindsay and crew just went around offering help and refilling our champagne. This was a fun and relaxing event. On my recommend list for artists and non-artists and, of course, anyone with a sweet tooth.

I've taken other online cooking classes, and Kenji's was by far the best organized, and he repeated instructions and measurements so that everyone could follow along and be successful. I would highly recommend his classes and hope to take another one!

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!!!

booked Cozymeal's "Chef Rick / Latin Cuisine Made Easy" experience as a birthday event for my wife…read more It was advertised as a hands-on cooking class where we would create a four-course Latin-inspired meal with instruction. That is not what happened. There was essentially no hands-on cooking. My wife and I repeatedly asked how we could help, and the only participation we were given was washing lettuce and chopping a small amount of pepper. There was no meaningful instruction, no real teaching, and very little engagement. The ingredients were also very disappointing for the price. Store-bought tortilla chips were used despite the menu advertising homemade chips. The carne asada was supposed to include chimichurri, but it was seasoned with store-bought seasoning from a jar and no actual chimichurri was prepared. I contacted Cozymeal immediately with detailed feedback. After delays, they refused to refund the booking and offered only a 15% gift card toward another Cozymeal experience, which is useless because I would never use them again. This was an awful experience and Cozymeal did not stand behind it. I would strongly recommend avoiding this platform.

I had a great time learning and eating. Shawn made the skills look so easy to do at home and everything we made tasted amazing. It was an intimate setting to learn and meet other people.

I have had a few other opportunities to taste her food since and each time the flavor combinations are spot-on, dishes are perfectly seasoned and prepared, with attention to detail and beautiful plating. She works hard to source the best quality ingredients and creates inspired seasonal menus with a focus on sustainability. She is highly personable, passionate, down-to-earth, and quite entertaining too. Her staff is always hospitable and professional. I can't recommend Mariana enough!

Sunshine is amazing! I booked a private class for four, and we got to help plan the menu which was…read moregreat because I'm vegan. (Sunshine is very willing to adjust the ingredients for any allergies or food restrictions). We made a papaya salad, pad Thai with shrimp, and Kanom Krook for dessert. Everything was prepared and ready to go, and Sunshine instructed us throughout the whole meal. (Sunshine is hilarious! I really enjoyed her energy and help!) I learned a lot of tips and tricks I can use in everyday cooking, and I'll remember this event for a long time to come. The four of us all loved Thai food proper, but we've never had such authentic Thai food--it's better! YUM! BOOK A CLASS WITH SUNSHINE! You'll have a blast!

Fantastic cooking experience…read more I came with a few friends to have a little bonding time during the holiday. We opted for the Tom Yum shrimp, Pad Thai with chicken, and Kanom krook cooking class. We were honestly very impressed with Sunshine and the recipes she took us through. The Tom Yum was pretty straightforward, but the pad Thai was slightly more difficult. We were happy to have her guidance as it turns out needs to be cooked quickly to get the right textures/ cooked efficiently. I've never had kanom krook dessert, but were pleasantly surprised at how good and how versatile it can be. The location was also nice and comfy. I would love to be a regular student of hers. She's a lot of fun. At first I thought that the ingredients she chose were so fragrant, it made me want to just take those home. Turns out I'd enjoy the whole experience. I highly recommend Sunshine's class

Chef Joe was warm and welcoming. He is definitely a San Francisco character, having lived in the…read morecity for decades. He was funny and knoweldgeable. My sister and I took the Tuscan cooking class with 3 other couples in their early to mid-30s. Everybody seemed to really enjoy the experience and the meal. My 60-year old sister is a terrific cook herself with decades spent in the kitchen and she remarked on learning new things with Chef Joe's help. I think Chef Joe offers something for experienced and novice cooks. There was a very friendly assistant there to help Chef Joe, clean dishes, and keep the sink clear. As I said above, Chef Joe is a character with a great sense of humor. I'm shocked to see any negative reviews here at all and assume that his dry wit and tongue-in-cheek remarks might confuse folks. His humor is part of the package and all his guests were laughing throughout the class, not just my sister and me. I'm planning to return for another class with more family soon. We're all looking forward to it!

We had so much fun learning from him and cooking a dish that we never would have usually. We learned some new knife skills and chef Joe was very educational about the food we were cooking and ingredients we were using. I left the class with a full belly and a lot of energy. The atmosphere is very lively and friendly, I can tell he really responds and reciprocates the energy that's brought to him. I'm excited to come back here again, and I'll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends. This is such a great experience and we are so lucky to have it in our neighborhood!!

Highly recommend the pasta making class! Our group of 9 had so much fun for my husband's birthday…read more The host does a great job at explaining how to do everything. You make everything yourself from start to finish. At the end you sit down with the entire class and eat family style. We had a great time!

Took my first pasta making class yesterday!…read more It costs around $250 for 2 people. We made Tagliatelle al Ragu Bolognese and Bruschetta which took around 2 hours to make.

Would definitely love to come back to try their Thai food class!

Made roughly 10 dumplings depending on how much water and flour you needed to make your dough. Dumpling filling was premade by instructor, just had to stuff it in the wrapper. Once dumplings were made we tossed it in the boiler and by the time we finished making our sauce it was time to eat! Dumplings were paired with some veggies and had a nice little dessert at the end. Very fun experience perfect for date night or a gift for a loved one!

Right from the outset, Eddie was warm, welcoming and fun. He took the time to learn our names and talked us through his journey as a chef up to this point. He was an enthusiastic teacher and took us step-by-step through the dumpling-making process. The results - both in look and taste - exceeded our expectations (Eddie subsequently sent us the recipes so we can now make delicious and authentic Shanghai dumplings at home!) and once we'd consumed them we were treated to a delicious dinner in his lovely condo. I cannot recommend Chef Eddie and the class highly enough.
