Terrible company. They had canceled on me when I was in a foreign country at the last minute…read morebecause the chef was sick. I scheduled something with them in Boston and had an emergency and had to fly home early. I contacted them in advance and they would not refund or give a credit or anything. I guess it's OK for them to leave you stranded and cancel on you, but if you have an emergency, they don't care. They had plenty of notice and could have gotten someone to fill our places or offered a credit, but they chose to do nothing. Awful people. I also contacted the chef who wasn't very nice either. I kept getting reminders about the dinner after I canceled as well. I will never use cozy meal again after these two experiences. Save your money.

The Never Ending Dumpling Party was a fun night, the food was excellent, and I learned about…read moredumplings. Chef Patty was living in Taiwan! We enjoyed Chef Marco's banter and dumpling instructions, but I admit I was sad to not witness their cuteness in person. Patty called over the TV at one point and held up cute signs all the way from Taiwan. I don't drink and was delighted to find a NAB in the cooler along with a variety of boozy and other options. A spread of amazing dishes awaited us and we also got to eat the dumplings we made. It was a little weird to be 2 cooks at the party, so I think going with a group would be super fun. But then you wouldn't get to take home quite so many leftovers as we did! It was certainly a memorable experience, check it out if you're looking for a different kind of cooking class.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Dumpling school! We went around Christmas time and…read morewe were so luck to wind up with a private class with Marco and Patty. They were so kind, friendly, funny, and boy could they make dumplings. The food was delicious, their stories were wonderful, and the whole experience was just about perfect! Oh and the dumplings were easily the BEST I have ever had!

We attended Chef Harold's Sushi 101 course. This was a small group session that was held at Long…read moreLive Beerworks 152 Hampden Street Boston, MA 02119. Chef Harold was extremely informative and a great instructor. We really appreciated his time and attention to all of our questions. The only downside was initially. The music was pretty loud in the venue and it was hard to hear what the chef was saying. Eventually it was turned down and everything was so fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The venue was also very good with service at the counter. Their selection of brews was quite delightful!

I prepaid for a class of 17 for a "Chocolate Truffle Making Class" in Atlanta, GA 6-8 weeks prior…read moreto the date of the class. I sent out invitations to some of my best customers. The night before the class was to take place, I received notification that there was a "time" change...to the next week. That is not a time change, that is a DATE change - which is something else entirely. Oh, and I don't live in Atlanta...I flew in for this event. Needless to say, the class was cancelled as they had nothing else to offer me as a substitute. Not using CLASSPOP ever again.

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.
