    Spice box with Chef Parsati's traditional Indian spices
    Shannon B.

    We had a wonderful cooking class experience with Chef Parsati! I LOVE Indian food, so was delighted when my husband gifted me a cooking lesson with Chef Parsati through http://cozymeal.com We decided on the Healthy Seasonal Indian Cuisine lesson comprised of: Salmon Amritsari Tikka,Saag Dal, Navratan Korma. The whole experience was fantastic! The location was convenient and parking was easy. Chef Parsati has the entire space set up to accommodate the class and is able to taylor the experience to your needs. She educated us on traditional Indian flavors and the spices used in the cooking, provided clear instructions, and made accommodations for our food allergies. Best of all the food was incredible! She uses high quality ingredients, and it shows. So delicious! She sent us the recipes following the sessions so we could make the dishes at home! 100% will do another class with Chef Parsati!

    I've never used CozyMeal before but I am so thankful I found Chef Parsati on CozyMeal. She is an extremely accommodating and knowledgeable chef. Even though Chef Parsati was busy on the day of my booking, she made sure to fit my girlfriend and I in for our class! We were also running late, and she made us feel so welcomed and comfortable at her place. The meals my girlfriend and I learned to cook were delicious and healthy. I would definitely take another class from Chef Parsati and recommend her to my friends and family.

    Took a class with Chef Parsati an Indian cuisine for an anniversary gift. This was a fabulous gift! Chef Parsati was very welcoming. She is very experienced in many different types of cuisine. The location was good, easy parking, and very nice and clean. She ensured we were educated in hygiene and Food Safety throughout the process. Chef Parsati gave an overview of the dish we were making and description of the ingredients as we were using them and how they applied to the dish. Her directions and explanations were easy to follow and she made the experience fun! The choice in food was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend her as a Chef for Cozymeal! Thank you Chef for making this an incredible experience!

    Chef Parsati was really passionate and friendly. She welcomed us all and had some amazing lessons. She also provided variations, taught us step by step, and had everyone take on a part of the process. What an awesome team building or double date idea!

    Chef Parsati was a delightful host. I felt very safe and welcomed in her home and learned new culinary skills and dishes I am excited to try on my own! My partner and I really enjoyed the class and the fresh delicious meal that she helped us prepare!

    Chef Elham's Sushi Class was fantastic! She kindly invited us to her home and prepared everything needed for the various sushi. Gave us great guidance to make delicious sushi. Very enjoyable and comfortable experience that felt like going over to a friend's house and prepping a dinner together. Although my significant other and I were the only ones in the class that night, prepare for up to 4 people to be in the booking. Chef Elham prepares everything needed in advance, most of the class was learning how to create the rolls themselves. She also kindly does all the cleanup afterwards. The sushi ingredients were very high quality and better than most sushi restaurants. We definitely were able to eat our fill of delicious rolls and nigiri.

    Phenomenal lesson with Chef Parsati! Highly highly recommend, you will not regret it. I have some decent cooking skills, but don't cook Indian very much and I learned a ton. The portions were large, her kitchen was super clean and comfortable. Small class sizes, everyone got to cook for real, and the finished product was amazing!

Two Cucina Bambini staff led our function, and it was one of the most memorable holiday celebrations I've had. For our fettuccini pasta making class, they had us set up with half the group focusing on making the pasta from scratch and the other half chopping ingredients to make the pasta sauce. All instructions were provided verbally without amplification but the staff really know how to project well so hearing wasn't an issue if the team knew someone was talking. Instructions were clear and the staff walked around to provide guidance while letting you still make the pasta/cook the sauce. Given how many people we had, it took about 2 hours to prep everything. In addition to the pasta and sauce, for our lunch, the staff brought out simple salads that were premade. Since this was a corporate event, I can only say how the experience was vs. value for money. But if prices were reasonable, I would consider coming back for a personal event since it was a lot of fun!

I was worried that some guests would be standing around, because they wouldn't be making everything on the menu, but Stephanie, our instructor, kept us busy. Emma and Kim assisted Stephanie. I appreciate their hospitality ! Shout-out to the team that responded to all my emails, too. Tips: - If you plan to decorate and wear the chef hats provided by Cucina Bambini, bring hair clips! They barely fit on an adult head. - Cucina Bambini provides some takeout containers. I recommend bringing bowls and aluminum foil sheets to help with distributing the leftovers. - You can bring your own food and drinks to complement the menu. - Bring your own speaker if you want to play a specific playlist. - Parking behind the building is small, so tell guests to allot 10-15 minutes to find parking.

    Ever since buying a place a few years ago, I've wanted to learn how to cook. Not just to make it by…read morewithout starving, but really learn how to make quality food at home--I'm a foodie after all. ;-) This is the best cooking class company I've taken classes at to help me move closer to my goal. Highlights: - Format: A combination of demo and hands on which is the perfect mix: "see then do" as they say. Thorough and educational with detailed information on not only cooking techniques, but also the equipment (helpful gadgets in some cases), ingredients, their origins, and health benefits. I left each class feeling like I was becoming a more educated and better chef already. I've been to classes at Home Chef (when it was in SJ), Whole Foods (Cup and San Mateo), and Sur La Table (LG), and while those were fun, I didn't really learn as much as I would have liked. - Teacher: friendly, approachable, easy to learn from, comical, seems to genuinely care about her food and the people in her class, and knows her stuff. Chef Suzanne Vandyck has the culinary credentials and has even authored a cookbook. She tells you little tricks here and there along with fun stories of her travels and related eats to give it a personal touch. - Environment: very casual and comfortable. Questions are encouraged throughout and you don't feel intimidated chiming in with one during the demo or while cooking. I've been to classes where you felt like you were learning from a cooking nazi: if you didn't use the right spoon or something she'd snip at you. I want to learn, but this is for fun. I like more hakuna matata attitude here. As Chef Suzanne says, "In a restaurant it has to be perfect, at home it's ok." :-) - International Themes: I took the Easy and Healthy Japanese cooking class but they offer Italian, French, Mediterranean, Spanish, etc. I was a bit weary of learning Japanese food from a lady from Belgium, but she had enough traveling, visiting with locals, eating, and cooking experience to portray the authentic styles. I lived in Japan for a few years and eat Japanese food a good deal and learned tons from her class. - Great recipes: everything that we made was scrumptious. I loved being able to know how to make the classic Japanese sauces (tempura, miso, etc.) There are always options either written down or noted verbal during the demo so you know how you can change it up to suit your tastes or ingredients you have handy. - Salads: when you sign up, you can see what dishes will be made and I was enticed by the entrees. After all was said and done I did enjoy the entrees like expected, but was surprised to be blown away by the salads. The watercress and then spinach salads with dressings we made on our own were amazing. - Recipe handouts: before class you get a few pages stapled together of the recipes of the day. The teacher not only includes pictures up top, but a nice little paragraph of the story and background about what the dish is. - Plating: after Chef Suzanne makes an item, she plates them on beautiful little authentic Japanese plates (since I took the Japanese class) and organizes the food so it looks professional and impressive. Since I want to be a Top Chef quality chef, I love learning these plating skills to make my dishes visually appealing and fancier than the average home cooked meal. 8-) - Leftovers: sometimes there's a lot of food, so if you bring a container you can take some to enjoy at home - People: After the demos we break up into groups and make a few recipes. I didn't take the class to meet new people, but I made some nice friends through the few sessions we've have. - Class time said 6-9:30pm which I was initially worried sounded a bit long, but we usually finished by 9 or earlier so I could make it home to watch Grey's just slightly delayed on TiVo. ;-) - Location: most of the quality classes I have seen are in the city which is hard to get to on a weeknight. These are held closer to home in Cupertino and Santa Clara. Lowlights (my flip side to highlights): - How much fun you have cooking depends on the group you end up in--just normal group dynamics and personalities, etc. - Not optimal equipment: this is where it's a pro to go to a specialty store like Sur La Table or Whole Foods: the equipment will be more top notch. Our class was at Cupertino High School which had dull knives, old silverware, etc. They also didn't have any chopsticks to use in our Japanese class, so we brought our own. - Sometimes she changes the recipe from what's written down so you just have to be aware and take notes on your handouts. - Some classes you get a snack pretty early on but others you don't get to eat until 8:30pm, so you may want to have a snack before just in case. I'm so happy to have found this cooking school and will be looking to take more classes in the future!

    Highly recommend Chef Suzanne and Worldchefs International!…read more I've taken Italian cooking classes, garlic cooking classes and a team-building cooking class. All spectacular...

I booked a Tuesday evening class during winter break. You get a confirmation email and that's it. I was worried about prep but they prepare everything for you and thought up everything as well. Small parking lot. They had us wash our hands when we arrived and then each kiddo had a color sheet with crayons. Nice touch but defeats the purpose of washing our hands first. The two of us shared a table with another mom with their toddler. Each toddler had their own set up to make 6 cookies. Everything was pre measured and it wasn't too messy. We were able to bake 6 cookies and use whatever toppings - she got to choose between chocolate chips, m&ms, white chocolate chips and these dried fruits. They read a book to the kids and then made milk shakes as a group. Each kid got a small cup and to place chocolate chips/m&Ms in. The cookies were really delicious and my child loved the milk shake. One thing is that you can't stop other kiddos from touching your items/food. Would return.

We…read moresigned up for a shared table experience, but we did not realize that "shared" meant all parties at the table would be sharing the same sauce, ingredients, and cooking steps. For example, all six of us were mixing one single sauce together with only three ingredients. This was not communicated clearly in the class description and felt very uncomfortable. The class description also stated that everything would be made from scratch, but that was not the case. We wrapped pre-cut chicken in pre-made phyllo dough, which was very different from what we were expecting based on how the class was advertised. Additionally, the experience felt a bit low-quality. The appetizer was a single small plate of pita bread and oil--probably under $2 total--to be shared among all six people. There was also a lot of waiting around, with the kids taking turns doing very small tasks such as sharing the chopping of just one onion. Overall, the experience felt slow, uncomfortable, and not aligned with what we believed we were paying for. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this class to others and do not plan to return. Thank you for taking the time to read this feedback. I hope it helps improve future classes.

We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

For the vegetarian in the group (me) he was able to whip up a wonderful dish when everyone else was eating halibut.

She was blown away by the experience. The 6 course meal included: Fried Baby Artichokes: lemon aioli, herbs, chili oil Flatbread: preserved truffle, pistachios, onion, burrata, honey, chili oil Ash Roasted Beets: kimchi honey, pistachios, ravigote, feta Charred Zucchini Agnolotti: fried sage, brown butter, lemon, pepper, parmigiana Seared Halibut: fennel-potato salad, herbs, haricot vert, preserved truffle champagne sauce Under-Baked Chocolate Cake: Italian meringue, Luxardo cherries, cocoa nibs Also, our kitchen was left spotless!
