I received this class as a Christmas gift. It was my first Cozymeal class. Overall disappointed in the class. 1) The audio was terrible. I had my laptop on full volume and it was impossible to hear without my ear to the speaker (which is not helpful when you are trying to cook along). I eventually dialed in on my phone, and the audio was louder but marginally better quality. I use zoom daily for work. 2) The pace of the class was way too fast. I had my ingredients prepped, and recipes printed. If not for the printed recipes, I would have been absolutely lost. We finished the class in 1 hr 10 min (was supposed to be 1 hr 30 min) rather abruptly and this time could have been spent going at a normal pace. There was mention of a break, but I don’t think we ever had it. 3) Overall, low quality experience. Chef Davide demonstrated with representative ingredients. For example, he had a few meager vegetables in his pot (not the two onions, two carrots and two potatoes that we were prescribed). He also said to add the amount and then proceeded to eyeball it and dump from the rice container. I got the feeling I was watching Chef Davide cook from his small apartment - it appeared he was in a small corner of a room, with some floating shelves with spices behind him, and a table and hot plate. With his earbuds and probably his phone mounted as a camera, I question the authenticity of him being a chef at this point. 4) The printed recipes were incomplete, but given the full information they are quite simple. The risotto was quite bland, and I’m a bland diet kind of person. We didn’t add any of the vegetables from our broth (guess we were supposed to throw them out?) and so it was pretty plain. Thankfully my breadcrumbs were from cinnamon raisin bread and that gave it some flavor. The gelato was also nothing special - I have made homemade ice cream many times, and this was rather primitive. Is sweetened condensed milk authentic to Italian Gelato?

Chef Davide was very organized, engaging, and I love how he had an Italian accent! He was still very easy to understand and follow throughout the class. He did seem to speed up just slightly toward the end - thankfully, we had everything measured and prepped in bowls prior to the class (HIGHLY recommend that - there is no way you'd be able to keep up if it wasn't all measured out). The final dish (risotto) was also absolutely delicious!

The class was really fun and enjoyable. The food was great. Davide was a good instructor and I hope to take one of his other classes.
