Great class or second one with Chef Roxy! Overall, I would highly recommend Chef Roxy's class to anyone who is interested in learning how to make shakshuka and challah bread. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and very easy to understand instruction. The class was a great way to learn new cooking techniques and recipes from the comfort of my own home. I can’t wait to try out these recipes again! ??

This was an amazing class, Chef Roxy was great to offer substitution options as my family has food allergies and she was very patient and encouraging each step of the way. The falafels and hummus have been a hit in our home and has increased my confidence and knowledge with deep frying. In fact, I was able to make some falafels for my son's chickpea immunotherapy test, and he was able to get through it, since the falafels were SO TASTY!! I look forward to taking more classes with Chef Roxy in the future :)

We booked a hummus and falafel class with Chef Roxy. She was excellent! She really knew her stuff—did a great job of answering all of our questions. She went beyond teaching us the recipe by giving us super helpful cooking tips that can be applied generally. The results were delicious!

Chef Roxy was phenomenal! She showed us everything from alternate ingredients to ways to chop our ingredients for max benefit to the dish, all while keeping us smiling. We will be keeping an eye out for other classes that she teaches as well. She was so down to earth and made us all feel comfortable in forming an effortless sense of community during our time "together". If I could give 50 stars, I certainly would!!!

Wow.....what a great class!! Chef Roxy made falafel and hummus simple to make. The hummus recipe was so good and quite easy to make with her guidance. The falafel was fluffy and flavorful. Chef Roxy was very informative, engaging, and answered my many questions. I will surely be taking another class from her. Take this class!! You will enjoy it and learn great techniques for storing as well!!
Thank You Chef Roxy

It was wonderful! Chef Roxy made up for all the frustrations of Cozymeal's signing up process, and she made my 75th birthday perfect ... and the hummus and falafel Chef Roxy demonstrated were delicious. We'll definitely look for her next time.
Jess
20 Jun 2022
Chef Roxy is amazing. She took time to explain the WHY behind each step, and to make sure everyone in the class was on track. I did not previously see myself as someone that could make hummus and falafel from scratch, but OMG. Now I can and it’s SO GOOD.
Robert
18 Jun 2022
First time taking a class. She was patient and informative. Kept things light and moving while still giving some of the background and traditional ways of eating the food. I wanted to learn how to make good tasting Hummus which I did, but I also surprised myself with how well I was able to make Falafel too. Both recipes turned out great and she explained good ways you can tweak and customize them to make them your own.
Bianca
13 Jun 2022
We took the Homemade Hummus and Falafel class with Chef Roxy and would HIGHLY recommend it! We accomplished so much during the time window, but never felt rushed or stressed, as Chef Roxy was super organized, friendly, super passionate about food and positive. She is the perfect combination of encouraging, extremely knowledgable, pleasant and a great communicator. She kept us on track but made time to answer all our questions about kitchen tools, ingredient variations, differences between US and Tel Aviv cuisine and we learned so much. Best of all, the recipes turned out awesome and delicious. Thanks for a great experience, Chef Roxy!
Daniel
08 Jun 2022
My experience with Chef Roxy was amazing! I signed up for her Eggplant Carpaccio class. There was supposed to be another attendee, but they never ended up joining so it ended up being a one-on-one class. Chef Roxy was so friendly and easy-going, and made the environment feel very welcoming. She clearly enjoys what she does and that energy is absolutely contagious. Every step of the recipe was explained in easy-to-understand terms coupled with demonstrations on camera. A separate webcam focused directly on the cutting board/cooking area was a big plus. I would recommend this class 100%! Thanks Chef Roxy :)

Would highly recommend Roxy and this experience.

I've taken a lot of Cozymeal classes (since COVID) and this was the most fun, the most delicious, and the most helpful. Chef stayed on for an hour past the scheduled stop time to continue answering our questions. I have never successfully fried anything, ever, and somehow she managed to teach me how to do it via Zoom. Incredible. Thank you, chef Roxy, I will never buy hummus from the store again.
Tiffany

Chef Roxy was great and we ended up with the fluffiest pancakes. As somebody who has made some pretty great pancakes, I was skeptical I would learn anything, but Roxy had great tips! Her laid back style encourages fun and creativity in the kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to take another class with Roxy, no matter what we're making!

The class was great and the food excellent. I did this with my 10 year old granddaughter and we were able to easily keep up. She did most of the food prep and cooking. I just cleaned up behind her. Roxy was a great teacher, sharing her insights and suggestions. I would never had attempted to make falafel myself. The humus is exceptional.
Thank you, Roxy.
Karina Moraes
20 Jan 2022
Chef Roxy was AMAZING!!! I appreciated that she did the steps with us (like cutting/chopping) so the pace of the class was realistic. Some instructors move so quickly you had to have everything prepped prior to the class (which usually isn't mentioned). The hummus and falafel were delicious!!! My falafel actually held together when trying thanks to Chef Roxy's tips, tricks, and key things to look for in the mixture. Thanks for adding two new recipes to my repertoire! Highly recommend cooking with Chef Roxy!

Chef Roxy was very sweet, kind and interactive. We loved hearing her tips and tricks, and also the nutrition value of the food we were making. It was also great that she had some sort of tri pod to film her stove and chopping.
Only feedback would be the technical issues at the beginning, and the pace was a bit slow. That being said, we had 2 of us and so maybe we got things done faster. But overall the hummus was the best I’ve ever had and the falafels were excellent too!

Chef Roxy gave us an amazing and authentic cooking class! She stayed on 45 minutes extra with us and made sure our dishes were perfect! We're already looking into booking another class with her
Lauren
06 Jun 2021
We had the best experience! We have been to the middle east before and so it blows my mind that we were able to create dishes on our own that were so authentic and delicious! The falafel and hummus were incredible and we learned so many tangible takeaways/skills applicable to other cuisines as well. We highly recommend this class and ESPECIALLY Roxy! She was so nice, funny, worked at our pace, and made for a fun "date night" while our baby slept.

This was again an exceptional class by Chef Roxy. She is extremely patient and personable. She describes the preparation, ingredients and culture around each dish and demonstrates in great detail who to prepare. Roxy answers all questions clearly. And while the class is short, she extend the time to be sure we all finished and plated the dish with input and questions at the end. This is our second class with Roxy and look forward to any new classes she may offer in the future. Highly recommended.

Jacob
28 Feb 2021
Chef Roxy was a pleasure! She was very patient during the class, explained things as many times as was needed, and even sent a pita recipe beforehand to my family and me when we asked for one. Unfortunately, several other people in our class were unprepared with forgetting multiple ingredients that we were instructed to get beforehand, which extended the class as chef Roxy had to help them problem solve. The food we created was delicious and the class was a lot of fun!

Roxy was amazing!! She taught me how to make the best falafel I’ve ever had outside of israel

I enjoyed working with Roxy; I learned so many kitchen tricks. I will no longer be shy about using herbs: lots of parsley, cilantro, some dill and mint - what a combination! My son and his fiance came over in time to eat with me and they loved the food. She was able to stay with me even though I was the only student left on line.
Thanks so much!

Lori

This was my 1st CozyMeal class (it was a gift) & it was great! The only thing I would change is to have each give a 10 second intro -- would be nice to know where everyone was from (or have us put it on our Zoom name label). Otherwise...learned a lot about chickpeas (never had worked with dried ones before & never knew that the canned ones were cooked!). Would definitely take another class!

Chef Rooy is amazing! Her tips were extremely helpful. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Jordan
01 Jan 2021
The dish was delicious and Chef Roxy was really patient with the class. A couple of things made it a little more difficult -- first, the sound of the eggplant grilling made it hard to hear Roxy through the laptop speakers (that's on our end). Second, it would have been so much more helpful to have a good camera above her cutting board showing us how to chop & slice compared to the side. However, we learned a lot and had an awesome time!
Mark
01 Jan 2021
Roxy leads a wonderful class. She has 2 cameras that allow great views on techniques she shares. She handled multiple people’s inquiries smoothly, a trait that is hard to do, as we all know so well now, in the online medium. The food was amazing! Eggplant carpaccio, yum! I would highly recommend taking Roxy’s classes.
Brooke
30 Dec 2020
Wonderful recipes! The flavors of the region were spot on and delicious! The class that we had was enormous, which speaks volumes for how organized and nurturing Roxy is! One of our dishes didn't turn out, and there wasn't time to ask questions because of the size of our group, and class ended kind of abruptly. This wasn't Chef Roxy's fault, as she's given an allotted time to work within, but hopefully, in the future, Cozymeal might consider putting a cap on class sizes so that everyone has an opportunity to ask questions and verify consistencies, etc., so that all participants are successful.
Kathy

Daniel

Roxy guided us through the incredible experience of making homemade falafel and hummus! The flavors were delicious and ours came out really great.
Roxy moves at a relatively fast pace, so it was important to pay careful attention. I recommend having two people to help keep up, and it is critical to have all ingredients out, and review the recipes beforehand.
I am never going to buy hummus from a store ever again!
Evan
26 Dec 2020
Chef Roxy is amazing! She is very thorough and answers all questions. We loved the class and will definitely be signing up for her other classes!
Wendy
19 Dec 2020
We had a great time learning to make falafel and hummus! Even though we didn’t succeed, it was still fun and informative.
It would have been helpful to know more specifically what types of tools (pots etc) were needed and type of oil. We were a little unprepared.
Overall an excellent experience!! Thank you
Jonathan

Chef Roxy was great! My family celebrated the first night of Hanukkah with her hummus and falafel class. Roxy is fun, easy going, and knowledgeable. We really appreciated the insights she gave on food life in Israel and general kitchen techniques. We were glad that we paid extra for an exclusive event because our group needed extra time in certain steps and was able to adjust the pace of her instruction. Two tips... have all ingredients and equipment easily accessible in advance so you can keep up with the pace. Also, make sure to buy unroasted tahini.

Chef Roxy's class was fabulous! She's professional, very organized, easy to follow, but most of all fun!

Felt like Roxy was one of the family! What’s better than family cooking together??

This was AMAZING! This took me back to my childhood living in the Middle East! Chef Roxy was patient and very knowledgeable and taught us all the tricks for making delicious hummus and falafel. Word of advice...don’t give up! The falafel takes some patience to learn to form but once we got it we were whipping these delicious treats out one after the other! These will be in our regular rotation from now on!

Loved this class! Chef Roxy was amazing....she was a great teacher- patient and kind, while encouraging us to be at ease and trust our taste buds and use the recipes and her techniques as a strong foundation to work off of. I learned several new tips and tricks and came away with Awesome recipes that I will make again and again. It was also great taking the class with my mom and sister. Although we live in different parts of the country, it allowed us to “be together” doing something educational, fun, and yummy!

This class was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely recommend booking with Chef Roxy! Her instructions were easy to follow and her recipes made some of the best hummus and falafel I have ever had!! We shared it after with family and they also loved it. Such a great idea, especially during covid.

This was an amazing experience. Especially for a meal that relied much more on technique and understanding cooking concepts, having a chef to guide us along was invaluable. Something delicious i never would have made otherwise, and our group had a lot of fun doing it as a remote social event.

Chef Roxy was amazing. She constantly engaged everyone in the group making sure we were all on track and successful. Chef also provided us with interesting facts about the food we were making and how to make it more authentic. Lastly, the food we made was amazing. I was eating the hummus with a spoon and couldn't stop. My friend was going to take the falafel to a dinner party and they ended up keeping it for themselves because it was so good they didn't want to share. Highly recommend this class.

When my family came to visit me in Israel from the United States we hired Roxy to teach us how to make a fish dish alongside some other small middle eastern dishes. Everything was honestly fantastic and prepared wonderfully. She was able to maintain good communication with my little cousin which was wonderful and she was able to teach everyone some valuable skills we all still use today!

Chef Roxxy is my favorite chef with Cozymeal. She is engaging, the food we make together is delicious and she is also funny! She makes cooking feel doable and fun-- I always hated cooking for myself but now I look forward to cooking with Chef Roxxy and I feel confident to try the recipes by myself because she explains everything so well. Thank you Chef Roxxy!
