WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Chicago
02/18/2025
If I had to describe the event with just one word, it would be “outstanding.”
Chef Titik prepared a wonderful evening with delicious food, a comfortable safe space and a cozy vibe which made for a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration.
As we made our 3 course meal, Titik taught us world history of Indonesian, Dutch, French and Moroccan culture and also provided helpful tips for the kitchen that I would not have learned had I not taken this class. My girlfriend and I would love to take another class of hers and invite all of our friends to join. It was so fun!
We will absolutely take another Cozymeal class and look forward to another dinner with Titik.
