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

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 is highly personable, passionate, down-to-earth, and quite entertaining too. Her staff is always hospitable and professional. I can't recommend Mariana enough!

It all began when two days prior to the class, a package containing the ingredients and recipe card arrived at my apartment. All the items were thoughtfully packed and labeled. Chef Eliza and the Culinary Artistas team created a wonderful experience on the day of the class. Their energy was warm and welcoming. The class began on-time. And the instruction was clear and judgment-free. They took care to make sure everyone felt comfortable with the steps and never hesitated to answer questions/repeat instructions. They threw in some unexpected steps too - such as kneading the udon dough through dancing to disco music! Overall, a pleasant and memorable experience.

If you've ever wondered about how to make or just love eating sushi (that's me!) then this is a fantastic opportunity. you get to practice a lot and take home rolls with you to share with family/friends or eat all of it yourself if you really want to!

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.

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.

I had to email him that we were waiting for him to start the zoom. I let this slide the first time because things happen. But when we had a second meeting with him he was 15 minutes late AGAIN with no heads up and I had to email him again that we were waiting for him to start the zoom. He tried to shrug it off and made the excuse that things run late. At this stage we still had questions about the proposal that he really only half answered. We were really confused with the proposal. He explained to us they work by estimating the cost of all the components of your event and that's what you pay them plus an exorbitant fee. Like if we're paying $4K for lounge furniture, they won't give you details on what exactly you're getting before you pay them. After we asked for an updated proposal with our asks, he emailed back that our date was booked and they couldn't help with our event. The audacity. (Mind you, we were about to shell out $20K for a 40 person picnic for 4 hours.) He gave us zero warning or heads up that our date could have been booked or was not on hold for us. This was a huge waste of time and left us back at square one with only 3 weeks left to plan our company event. The way Luis have conducted himself was extremely unprofessional. I would expect for someone who is the founder of the company to have sound business practices and better client management skills.
