There was supposed to be another couple in the class but they didn’t show, so it was just my us and and I. We had a blast! The chefs were so personable and nice. The food was absolutely delicious, we couldn’t get over how good it was. The reason we give four stars instead of five is because of the address. It gives an address with no name, and it’s located in an outside shopping mall. We could not find it for the life of us, it kept saying it was a restaurant. Turns out it was located inside a cooking store and there was no marking saying it was a host of “cozymeal” cooking classes. But overall great time!! Definitely recommend!

VERY disorganized , too many people booked, chef was spread too thin for teaching, we got the wrong ingredients and then we were scolded for not having the right ones, the spices were premeasured on one paper bowl but not labeled and we were instructed to pull out the tray with certain spices on it. No one knew which were which, we used dough to make dosa and most of the dishes didn’t taste similar to the dish-recipes were available AFTER the class but were not the same recipes we were actually making. At one point we were so lost that I got the recipe to follow, the chef took it right out of my hand and said “that is not what we are using”. He was reading from a separate recipe sheet he had in his hand. He repeat throughout the class that the class was very hard to teach as it was complicated but not sure that helped the situation.
