We are extremely disappointed with the Cooking "Class" - Elegant French Fare with Rebecca, and I would not recommend it to anyone. The class was billed as two-hour experience to learn classic French fare for beginners. In reality, the chef had prepared most of dishes already, and we were just there to chop a few vegetables or stir some pots. With eating the food, it was about 80 minutes. The chef didn't measure anything, tell us the ratios of ingredients, or teach us anything. We didn't even get the recipe and were told to message her after for the recipes. It was just chopping a few vegetables and stirring them in pots. She didn't even buy the right ingredients for the dishes we signed up to make. For example, instead of getting real Camembert cheese, she bought much cheaper brie cheese. The worst part is that I purchased this experience for my husband as a birthday gift, but the chef seemed to ignore him. The only tasks he was given to do was peal pears and pour a bottle of wine into a pot. For how much we paid for this, he didn't learn anything. On top of the poor experience with the "class" portion, we were greeted at the chef's home by a pile of cigarettes outside. When we got inside, the host opened the bottle of wine we were encouraged to bring, but the chef didn't seem to know how to do it, broke the cork, and didn't even have wine glasses. The chef didn't know how to set a table, plate food, or teach. I'm skeptical that any real vetting was done at all. This felt like a bait and switch and definitely as advertised. We would not recommend it to anyone.

Chef Rebecca was great! She was very communicative (asking about food allergies and being open to cooking at our place or hers), inviting (we cooked at her place), and friendly. Her recipes were educational (how to make regional Italian dishes), interesting (we could personalize our own flatbread pizzas), and delicious. I would definitely consider taking another class from her in the future and highly recommend her to others considering doing a Cozymeal cooking class.

The team had fun but thought this event was missing a lot. I think it should be clear to bring your own beverages as we were expecting at least cups and water. Also, the food was mostly prepared for us so no cutting or mixing of sauces or marinades. It was pretty much just roll your own roll and fill your own sandwich. Also, no one liked the dessert which was premade and was not tasty at all. I was really hoping to learn something about the sauces and marinades. For the price, I was expecting better food and at least water. The cooks were friendly and helpful but this format was a bit of a cluster and didn't get an opportunity to really cook anything.

Amazing class. Very kind hearted person who opened her home to me and my brother and showed us not only to prepare food but the patience and enjoying the process with it. Highly recommend.

We booked Chef Rebecca for a private cooking experience. The menu we selected listed a delicious-sounding tiramisu as the dessert course. It's one of our favorite desserts and we were very excited to try a freshly made tiramisu prepared for us by a chef. Instead, while we were still eating our main course, Rebecca threw two very cold, very clearly store-bought (likely from Ralph's) raspberry tarts in front of us and ran out. There was no check-in to see how things were going and we were clearly not even done with our entree yet so there was no reason to serve dessert yet. We were so shocked and she left so abruptly without any warning that we didn't even have a chance to ask her why she was serving us a store-bought pastry instead of what she had listed on the menu. Needless to say, the tart was absolutely terrible...If she was going to just buy something from the pastry section of a grocery store and pass it off as a "chef experience", she could have at least bought a tiramisu instead of a random tart. Very disappointed, we definitely would not have booked with her if we had known she was going to downgrade the menu without even doing us the courtesy of telling us in advance.

This was a birthday present for a friend. The recipes were easy to follow. The meal was delicious. It was fun to cook with others and to get to know them a little during the meal. We had a fabulous time!

While the chef is very friendly and has a nice home, that is not exactly what I expected nor paid for. I did not make all that is mentioned in the advertisement. My husband and I made guacamole, beef and potatoes, the tortillas for the tacos, and was shown how to make the cinnamon sopapilla's. We did not make cilantro lime rice, avocado crema, nor frijoles borrachos. The event duration was about an hour. Do you typically make only certain parts? If so that should be mentioned when paying. I feel ripped off. Also, the pictures of the food shown in the gallery for the Classic Mexican Street food depict a tortilla being made in a tortilla press, but we fried tortilla's from the store. That is very misleading. There was no "avocado crema" served with the tacos, just the guacamole we made so they were very dry and untasty. The cinnamon honey sopapilla's did not have honey as shown in the gallery as well. The chef fried the tortilla chips and shook them with sugar and cinnamon, no honey drizzle. I'm very confused as to how a menu can be shown that isn't followed. This class is for people who REALLY can't cook, like at all. Save your money and watcha YouTube video.
