Cooking Class - Simply Gourmet Tapas

Chef Rose was phenomenal! The class was far more than I expected it to be. I am a bit antisocial, but Chef Rose just has a way of making you feel at home. Wonderful Experience! We will definitely be back all the way from Oklahoma :)

Chef Rose was warm and welcoming and not intimidating at all! The meal we created went beyond my expectations and was absolutely delicious. It was a great experience, great food and fun time with 4 other attendees and Chef Rose. I highly recommend her class.

To say that this experience was "amazing" or "really fun" or some other basic way of describing a good thing wouldn't do it justice. This experience and class FAR EXCEEDED my expectations! I booked this as a birthday surprise for my GF and wasn't really sure what to expect. From the moment Chef Rose opened the door and invited us into her home, we were blown away!! Not only was the food amazing, but Chef Rose knows how to teach and inspire cooking beyond your wildest dreams. She worked with my timid GF (who had no misgivings about letting Chef know that she was shy in the kitchen), as well as another student in the class. Chef Rose was patient, kind, and inspiring to bring out the best in both of them! Our class started with some very basic skills like peeling an orange (the way professionals do it, not the way us commoners do) ... we then made an exquisite salad ... simple yet complex and tasty all at the same time. Then Chef Rose taught us how to properly cut and peel potatoes, and make THE ABSOLUTE BEST FRENCH FRIES I HAVE EVER HAD!!! (spoiler alert - we didnt use an air fryer and we didnt use a deep fryer) ... and finally we learned about properly seasoning steaks and how to cook them to the perfect temperature with an amazing sauce to finish them off! IF that was everything the class was about it would be enough. Just the learning and tasting of food from a world-class chef (who by the way has been a private chef for several well known celebrities) ... but again, that's not all! Chef Rose and her husband David were welcoming and some of the most hospitable hosts I have ever had the pleasure of spending an evening with. Not only did they welcome us to their homes with open arms, Chef's husband Greg shared his knowledge about some of the finest wines and pairings known to man (ask to see their incredible 2000 bottle collection!). Finally the evening ended with all us sitting down and breaking bread together and sharing in the complete delight of what we had accomplished. OH yeah - and I can't forget the INCREDIBLE DESSERT Chef prepared for us (along with Coffee and Espresso). Whether you have ever cooked a day in your life, or you consider yourself to be an amateur professional, this class is for you! The worst thing about the class is that there is only one "Chef Rose" and we can't all hire her to be our private chef (because we would). TRULY AN AMAZING, MIND-BLOWING, and SPECIAL EVENING!! Thank you Chef Rose and Cozymeal...

Chef Rose was lovely and informative. Her teaching style was fun; she told stories about her life and course-corrected us when necessary. The meal turned out great. It felt intimate and warm!

Chef Rose was fantastic! She did a great job of guiding us and making us feel welcome at her kitchen! Definitely recommend! We’ll come back for another class in the future!

Great experience. Really enjoyed it.

Chef Rose was wonderful! We learned & laughed all night! The food is delicious. On the same level as the best meals we had in Italy. Highly recommend!

Everything was beyond amazing!

Cooking with Chef Rose was an amazing experience! She was very knowledgeable and personable. As our first time doing a cooking class, we felt comfortable and learned a lot of skills that we can bring back to our own kitchen. She is a great chef and we would definitely recommend this class!

Chef Rose exceeded my expectations. Would, and probably will, take other classes with her

Our cooking from scratch gnocchi class was amazing! Chef Rose was very knowledgeable and let us really take control of the what we’re were cooking. We had great conversation, learned a ton, and really got to know her. Her home was breathtaking too!

Rose was absolutely amazing! We had the best time and learned so much. Highly recommend to any and all cooks or foodies :)

What an amazing experience. My friend had always wanted to try this… and it far exceeded our expectations! Chef Rose did a great job walking us through these delicious dishes. It was a great night!

Everything about this experience was top-notch. From her beautiful home to the high-quality ingredients we used, no expense was spared. Chef Rose's energy instantly puts you at ease and makes those new to the kitchen feel comfortable trying these new recipes and techniques. She has an amazing culinary background and to learn from her is a real treat. We will absolutely be doing this again. If I could change one thing it would be that her home was a B&B so that we could stay for breakfast!

Rose was awesome! We were welcomed into her home and really enjoyed chatting with her husband as we enjoyed our delicious pizza. I couldn't recommend her enough - it is worth the price!

This class beyond Exceeded my expectations! Chef Rose was extremely personable, knowledgeable and offered multiple new tips and tricks that I had never heard of that are extremely helpful in the kitchen. All of the ingredients we used were high quality and fresh and the dish came out delicious! I would highly recommend this class for people of all cooking levels from beginner to Michelin’s! Fun time!

Rose is truly a talented chef. Even though I’m an amateur cook, I learned a lot from her! She has a great personality too & made the night super enjoyable. Will book her again very soon!

This was our first class that my husband and I booked off cozymeal, and it was amazing. Rose is phenomenal and we will definitely be back for more classes!

We loved this cooking class! Chef Rose was so knowledgeable. The class was very fun and our cake turned out great!

Chef Rose was Amazing! As a complete newbie to cooking Chef Rose was extremely supportive to me by making it ok to make mistakes and ask oddball questions. Chef Rose was very professional with the class by teaching to every level of expertise that was present. Beaufort home. Amazng atmosphere! Highest recommendation!!

Want a incredible hands on experience? With a talented, professional, intelligent, chef that has everything ready and thinks ahead? Here’s chef Rose …Do yourself a favor book it enjoy it .. laugh and oh enjoy the food !!!!

Chef Rose is one in a million! The class was very intimate which made it more comfortable and relaxing. The minute you walk in Rose's house, you feel welcomed. She is knowledgeable in cooking and baking-from tricks to use in the kitchen, to fun-facts, to learning how to properly handle a chopping knife. Her recipes were delicious. We had time to sit and enjoy our meal and had plenty to take home. You won't go home disappointed.

Enjoyed our class with Chef Rose to the fullest. She is hospitable, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We learned new tips and tricks, but more than anything enjoyed conversation with her and her family and left feeling like we had just spent the evening with good friends!

Rose was amazing! She was so welcoming and sweet to us, and she made the whole experience so comfortable. She taught us so many cooking tips, and made sure that we learned something that day. Got to take home delicious food and cooking knowledge from the best!

Chef rose is amazing!! She’s very friendly and hands on, learned a lot in this class. Will be returning to chef rose.

Loved hearing about her Italian heritage! Exceptional cooking class - will definitely use these recipes again! Leftovers were even better the next day!

Detailed, personable, and talented! Going into Chef Rose's "The Joy of Pizza Making," my friend and I were beyond nervous. I do not cook because I can't take the heat; however, Chef Rose made it simple and walked us through every step. She is incredibly knowledgeable, from giving us some scientific facts (e.g. how yeast works, etc) to how to properly hold and use a knife. She is also a wonderful teacher. I definitely learned a few things. In a time of COVID, she made it clear when we walked in that her home is completely clean and that she and her family takes all the necessary precautions when going out. Attendees were at least 6' apart and Chef Rose totally respected our decision to keep our masks on when we weren't eating. I would absolutely take another class from Chef Rose in a heartbeat. She's super friendly, a master of her craft, and can make a novice feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen. I highly recommend booking at least one of Chef Rose's classes. She can't disappoint.

I have nothing but amazing things go say about Chef Rose! She is pure delight!! Both her and her husband were incredibly hospitable, her kitchen was gorgeous, and the food was mouth-watering. What made the experience infinitely better was the time she took to explain every step. Everything from knife skills to all her secret tricks was included in the class! I know I will retain so much knowledge from only a few hours with her. I cannot wait to go back!!

Rose is charming and has this way of bringing magic into the kitchen. Nerves? Forget them. Hesitations? Forgotten. She made me feel welcome from the very start. As is I were just apart of her family. Her professionalism is stunning. Her recipes are golden. It felt good to be taught by someone so passionate despite how many years she has cooked. That passion created a lovely meal that I can’t believe I got to help create. The chicken is incredible and she even got me, one who doesn’t like cherries, to be a fan of her cherry pie. I learned lots of tips and tricks I’ll take with me forever. I will definitely come back.

Chef Rose is a wonderful chef who really down to earth with an amazing home. She has her own cute garden for some of the ingredients, which for my made it that much more special. I am not a person to just talk to a stranger, but she really made us feel comfortable. She really took the time to walk us through each stuff. And the food was amazing. We took most of it home. Enjoyed every second.

We had a great night with Chef Rose. We learned a lot of new techniques in a comfortable setting, and best of all, finished the night we 3 wonderful gnocchi dishes! Highly recommend.

Rose was amazing and so knowledgeable. I can’t wait to take another class from her again!

The class was everything I wanted it to be. My girlfriend and I had an awesome evening learning to make paella and caramel flan. Chef Rose is great, very interactive, she will walk you through every step and give you tips on how be better around the kitchen. We will defined take more classes.

My husband and I signed up for the cooking class with Chef Rose. Our experience was nothing short of amazing. I do love to cook, and I learned some new recipes that I can now reproduce. After we had cooked our 3 course meal we sat down to enjoy our creations. What a pleasant experience with Chef Rose!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chef Rose and our experience! She was so welcoming, down to earth, and we felt so comfortable the entire time we were there. As for the pizza making, Chef Rose was extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much throughout the entire process (even simple cooking tips unrelated to pizza). We made three different pizzas and each one was phenomenal. This was our first time attending a cooking class, and she truly went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a fun date night, family night, or even a girls night, Chef Rose is your lady!

This class exceeded my expectations! Chef Rose was so friendly and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable and made the class a wonderful experience for our family! I definitely recommend it!

My boyfriend Patrick & I had a wonderful time with Chef Rose! We were running late, but Chef Rose was so gracious to help us catch up right when we got there. I was so impressed with how she never assumed our level - she took her time explaining the most basic skills which made the class much less intimidating and much more enjoyable. My only regret is that I did not bring a notebook to write down all of the tips & advice Rose had to offer. She is a joyful person full of entertaining stories. In just a few hours we felt like close friends. I am now spoiled for all other cooking classes, and I cannot recommend her class highly enough!

We loved EVERYTHING about this class! Chef Rose was more than amazing! She welcomes us into her beautiful home and her kitchen was perfect!! The food was delicious to say the least!

Chef Rose was engaging, knowledgeable and made the class a fun and entertaining time. We learned many useful tips that we can carry forward in our cooking! Would definitely recommend her to others and hope we can take another of her classes soon!

Me and my husband attended Chef Rose’s “Tour of Spain” and our experience was amazing! Chef Rose is very passionate about her craft and enthusiastically shares her extensive knowledge and experience. It was our first but definitely won’t be last!

Loved Chef Rose! Very talented and knowledgeable! She was amazing!

Chef Rose hosted my husband and I along with another couple for a paella dinner and it was amazing. She is friendly and knowledgeable and explained the cooking process in a way that was easy to understand. She provided many tips and tricks in the kitchen as well. It was a fantastic and fun evening! Lots of laughs were had. I highly recommend!!!

Chef Rose is absolutely amazing. We couldn't speak highly enough of her and our experience learning to cook from her. Chef Rose was incredibly welcoming to us and her kitchen is a perfect setting for a class. We cooked some truly amazing food, but what made the experience stand out as a class was that it wasn't just about learning recipes - Chef Rose was careful to work with us and show us techniques that we can use in our daily cooking. An A+ experience!
