What a fantastic tour by Mashav (the owner and the chef of Le Couloir)! Richmond neighborhood in SF…read moreis known for its mix of cultures, but Mashav masterfully uncovers all the hidden secrets and gems - Secrets only someone who lives in this community is familiar with. And she does that through food and hand-picked dishes that you will never uncover without a guide. Even though locations may change per tour, our group tasted a mix of cultures and got some stories behind the dishes, the restaurants, and their owners. Few examples - * Russian cuisine - Herring with a pickled onion on fresh bread * Indian street food - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this vegan street snack - I would have never ordered anything without meat, and I dislike spinach, but the fried spinach snack was mind-blowingly good. * Mexican - Quesadilla with plantain. Again, no meat but it was soooooo good. * Chinese - Glazed Pork and pork-filled bun I won't spoil the surprise for some of the other locations. And more, and more - Total of about 7-8 places. You won't stay hungry, guaranteed. The walk itself is not challenging; there are no hills to overcome, even though it's San Francisco. Don't wait - Just go!

Wow wow wow! We had an amazing time decorating macarons yesterday with the our team. Lindsay and…read moreJennifer were such a delight to work with. They taught us tips and tricks for all things macaron. No worries if you mess up! Just eat it and start over :) I had couple myself (who's counting?) The fillings and shells were delicious. I highly recommend them for private party, bachelorette night, corporate events, team building, any occasions!

We had Food La La (boy does that roll off the tongue) visit our office for a corporate event…read more Lindsay and a helper visited us for macaron decorating arriving in their matching little skirty aprons. First off, a demo. She showed us a unicorn and other pretty demos in about 2 minutes. She certainly has more talent in 2 minutes than I have in....ever LOL. Then it was 3,2,1...go! Anyway, a super relaxing activity (even though there was an eventual winner in a friendly competition). Decorations - paints, candy decorations, edible markers to draw Macarons - white, pink, orange, green Yummy buttercream...yes I was just eating the vanilla bean, also salted caramel and raspberry. Lindsay and crew just went around offering help and refilling our champagne. This was a fun and relaxing event. On my recommend list for artists and non-artists and, of course, anyone with a sweet tooth.

My boyfriend and I found Jess's cooking class on Eventbrite and read great reviews about it on…read moreYelp. The class was so much fun. Jess's energy is unparalleled! She extremely knowledgeable, funny, friendly and so down to earth. She was able to teach our class some great cooking skills and techniques. She was also very accommodating of dietary restrictions and provided vegetarian options (which was so great). The atmosphere of the apartment was also very lovely. The group that attended the class was extremely fun and engaged. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about cooking, interested in trying new foods, or simply anyone looking for a fun night. Jess was an amazing teacher and host and made us feel very comfortable. This would be a great idea for a small corporate event, friend group event, girls night, or a date night. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone in SF!

She hosted the class in her home (which is so warm and inviting) and we made three dishes that were phenomenal. She provides the class with wine and beer and of course so much cooking knowledge! This would be a great team building event or even just a group of 10 (friends, couples, family) to have fun cook and enjoy each other's company! Thanks so much Jess

He's a great teacher, a fun person and was full of energy and kept the program moving. I've already been receiving multiple comments from the participants, all who enjoyed their time at the event VERY MUCH! Chef Carlos was AMAZING! It was 1AM in Madrid and you would never know it from his abundant energy, fun personality and professional teaching skills. His camera angles showed us each step and he kept the show at a high, entertaining level. We were all VERY impressed. Our Cooking Event was a complete success! Thank you, Debbie, Chef Carlos and everyone at Cozymeal!!! I'm so glad I found YOU, Chef Carlos and Cozymeal and we were able to share this experience with my colleagues. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Very professional, very personal and very kind. The world needs more Debbies and Carloses!!!

booked Cozymeal's "Chef Rick / Latin Cuisine Made Easy" experience as a birthday event for my wife…read more It was advertised as a hands-on cooking class where we would create a four-course Latin-inspired meal with instruction. That is not what happened. There was essentially no hands-on cooking. My wife and I repeatedly asked how we could help, and the only participation we were given was washing lettuce and chopping a small amount of pepper. There was no meaningful instruction, no real teaching, and very little engagement. The ingredients were also very disappointing for the price. Store-bought tortilla chips were used despite the menu advertising homemade chips. The carne asada was supposed to include chimichurri, but it was seasoned with store-bought seasoning from a jar and no actual chimichurri was prepared. I contacted Cozymeal immediately with detailed feedback. After delays, they refused to refund the booking and offered only a 15% gift card toward another Cozymeal experience, which is useless because I would never use them again. This was an awful experience and Cozymeal did not stand behind it. I would strongly recommend avoiding this platform.

She was extremely responsive by email, easy to accommodate special dietary needs and helpful to propose alternatives to menu selections. Our dinner included a table spread, delicate/pomegranate tarts, wild mushroom/fontina hand pies, dungeness crab tostada salad, lobster mac and cheese, lamb lollipops, mini filet mignon wellington and pear/almond tarts. When the team of 4 arrived, she took over without any hesitation or need for instructions. The food was delicious and our party could not say enough amazing things about the quality and taste of the food. One quoted "BEST party ever". One of the servers passed food on beautiful displayed wood trays and helped to serve beverages as well. The food service and timing was spaced nicely, the temperature and freshness of each section was perfect and they helped to clean the kitchen and put everything away by the end of the night. I wish I had taken photos of each food tray, but unfortunately only have the photo of Chef Mariana bringing the cake. I highly recommend Chef Mariana, she is a gem.

Sunshine is amazing! I booked a private class for four, and we got to help plan the menu which was…read moregreat because I'm vegan. (Sunshine is very willing to adjust the ingredients for any allergies or food restrictions). We made a papaya salad, pad Thai with shrimp, and Kanom Krook for dessert. Everything was prepared and ready to go, and Sunshine instructed us throughout the whole meal. (Sunshine is hilarious! I really enjoyed her energy and help!) I learned a lot of tips and tricks I can use in everyday cooking, and I'll remember this event for a long time to come. The four of us all loved Thai food proper, but we've never had such authentic Thai food--it's better! YUM! BOOK A CLASS WITH SUNSHINE! You'll have a blast!

Fantastic cooking experience…read more I came with a few friends to have a little bonding time during the holiday. We opted for the Tom Yum shrimp, Pad Thai with chicken, and Kanom krook cooking class. We were honestly very impressed with Sunshine and the recipes she took us through. The Tom Yum was pretty straightforward, but the pad Thai was slightly more difficult. We were happy to have her guidance as it turns out needs to be cooked quickly to get the right textures/ cooked efficiently. I've never had kanom krook dessert, but were pleasantly surprised at how good and how versatile it can be. The location was also nice and comfy. I would love to be a regular student of hers. She's a lot of fun. At first I thought that the ingredients she chose were so fragrant, it made me want to just take those home. Turns out I'd enjoy the whole experience. I highly recommend Sunshine's class

We had so much fun learning from him and cooking a dish that we never would have usually.

The atmosphere is very lively and friendly, I can tell he really responds and reciprocates the energy that's brought to him. I'm excited to come back here again, and I'll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends. This is such a great experience and we are so lucky to have it in our neighborhood!!
