The instructor Chief Marita, was incredibly friendly, down-to-earth, and shared some great techniques we'll actually use at home. Highly recommend!

We took Chef Francesca's Italian Steakhouse class and needless to say, we'll definitely be back. the food was absolutely delicious and Chef Francesca's was so patient and kind. I am personally not the most experienced cook and she made me feel like I was an expert in the kitchen. We even had leftovers to take home for the next day. I love how simple she made everything and a bonus is she sent us home with the recipes and suggestions on where to get the ingredients if we wanted to recreate the meal again at home. Definitely recommend Cozy Meal for a fun date night adventure. And especially Chef Francesca's class!

I recommend Foodstory if want to explore Japanese food and want something fun to do with family or friends.

Rose and I have worked together for the past few years, and all I can say is that if you're…read morecontemplating whether or not to work with her on putting together a cooking class - JUST DO IT! You won't be disappointed. Rose's energy is wildly positive, and she always goes above and beyond for all of her clients. She is funny, she is engaging, and just an overall great person. Her home is the perfect venue, and it's unlike any other cooking class you'll find in LA. AS LA OPENS BACK UP: Rose and her team put together a really wonderful in-person event for my company last night. WOW. What an INCREDIBLE way to return back to in-person events!! Honestly, I can't think of a better event to bring a group together - it's such a unique and fun class. Yesterday was the perfect LA day, and all of the dining and most of the cooking is done outdoors. Her and her team adhered to all of the necessary COVID protocols, and my whole group felt incredibly safe being at her home. All of her staff is fully vaccinated, and there were masks worn and plenty of hand sanitizers. I know that I can always trust her to help me put on a great event. We will continue to work with her for many more years to come. Also, this should be a given, but her recipes are ALWAYS delicious. When we do in-person cooking classes with her, a lot of the ingredients come straight from her backyard. Rose is also very accommodating for vegans, vegetarians, and any other dietary restrictions/allergies. She knows how to make everyone feel welcomed and part of a team. BTW, her virtual classes are also a hit! My company planned a virtual class with her last year, and we loved it! She was her usual engaging self, and of course, the food was great. As I've mentioned, she is always accommodating, and willing to go above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Rose and team!!!

This year our company contacted LA Food Works and did a team building event. LA Food Works…read morespecializes in group cooking classes and the entire event lasted about 3~4 hours. Rose is the event organizer and everyone met at her house at 10 AM. After a warm reception and a quick introduction, we quickly split into different teams and I was assigned to the Creamy White Bean and Fennel Casserole station. The staff was very helpful and I just simply followed staff's instructions. Everyone pretty much finished the cooking by 12 PM and we were able to enjoy fruits of our labor! *** Menu *** * Roasted Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Stuffed with Mixed Herb Pesto * Arugula Salad with Candied Pine Nuts and Parmesan Dressing * Roasted Broccoli with Pumpkin Seeds, Pecorino and Gremolata * Creamy White Bean and Fennel Casserole * Lemon Souffle Cake with Macerated Mixed Berries Personally I liked arugula salad the best and my least favorite dish was lemon souffle cake (too sweet). Rose even emailed a digital copy of the recipe to everyone the following week! Overall it was a great team building experience and we also did a murder mystery right after our lunch (different company - not related to LA Food Works).

My wife and I recently took a class here called "Date Night: Spanish Tapas." The class taught us…read morehow to make several Spanish dishes including Spinach and Manchego Croquetas, Pan Con Tomate and Jamon Serrano, Tortilla Espagnola, and Pork Belly with Membrino Glaze. I'll be completely honest. I was not excited about taking this class. I hate cooking food as much as I love eating it. But the wife dragged me out here anyway. So what's my verdict? As my rating indicates, I was completely wrong about this class. It was a fun experience from start to finish. Chef May did a fantastic job walking us through how to prepare each dish before releasing us to our own individual stations, easing my concern that I would screw things up. When we needed any assistance, she was right there to jump in and provide support. I would be amiss if I didn't mention the best part of the class which is eating the food we made. Every dish was delicious. I especially loved the Pan Con Tomate and Jamon Serrano, and Pork Belly with Membrino Glaze. I would definitely recommend taking a class here. If they could make a guy like me who hates cooking enjoy the experience, they must be doing something right. We'll be back very soon for an encore. We're signed up for the Pan Pizza class. Looking forward to it!

It was such a fun and unique way to learn, and I loved how hands-on the whole experience was. The instructors were so knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the class enjoyable.

Before writing this review I reached out to the instructor with some of my issues. She apologized…read moreand said she'd escalated my concerns to Pam, an admin who'd reach out to me. Five days later and no contact from Pam. I was so excited to take my mister to their Father's Day class. We're empty nesters and this was meant to be a special treat for both of us. He's not big on cooking classes but the posted menu was appealing and I promised to do all the heavy lifting. Ribeye Steak -- thought we'd learn some new techniques to elevate our steak prep game. Mexican Street Corn Dip and Homemade Tater Tots -- summer corn is a family favorite and the thought of making homemade tater tots was intriguing. Smash Burger Sliders -- wanted to learn to consistently nail that crispy exterior. Inexplicably, we were paired with another pair -- a single dad with an 8 yo kid. Neither the mister nor I wanted this but we didn't want to make a scene or hurt anyone's feelings. We didn't even realize we were paired with them until the chef pointed out that our mise en place tray was setup for four. Why?? 1. The Mexican Street Corn Dip which I think was supposed to be an appetizer, was completely omitted. However, we did make a grilled corn salad as part of the meal. There was no appetizer served when we arrived. 2. Instead of homemade tater tots we made potato wedges. 3. The team we were paired with was lovely. However the class was well beyond their skill level. So instead of taking on the bulk of the work for 2 people, I did the bulk of the prep for 4 people. The course description says there may be seasonal substitutions but these substitutions utilized the same core ingredients. This was more work than I anticipated and left me feeling a bit overwhelmed and behind schedule. This threw the timing off and my mister enjoyed his steak alone while I was still standing at a hot stove prepping food for 4 people. Not the fun afternoon of "us" time I'd envisioned. Overall this was a subpar experience in so many areas that mattered to us. Left me personally disappointed and apologizing to my mister for the poor planning and execution. Could have spent the same amount of money without the hour+ drive and had a better experience.
