I figured i should dedicate my 100th review to something i really really like. I attend George…read moreBrown's culinary arts program (for fun) and all of the classes i have taken here are fantastic. You get to keep all the food you make in the culinary arts classes so i usually attend classes on the weekend. The classes also double as my meal prep session for the upcoming work week. I suggest attending a sunday morning class (if possible) to all part time students because street parking is free on sunday mornings. The quality of the ingredients are superb. I remember learning how to fillet fish and the seafood came from Diana's seafood. The butter we used is from sterling creamery. The salmon we used to barbecue was sashimi grade so our instructor made us ceviche with the leftover salmon! You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients that are provided in your classes. The instructors i've had are patient, laid back and funny. I think my three favorite elective courses would be BBQ, Indian cooking, and Thai cooking. The introduction to culinary arts course (compulsory course) gave me the confidence to attempt more difficult recipes and different types of cuisines at home. The course covers the fundamentals of cooking and is well worth the investment (even if you are not interested in the culinary program). I cannot wait till social distancing rules are lifted and GB offers culinary classes again. For now, i will read the course outlines and drool while deciding what to take next.

My boyfriend and I went to a Hands-on: Dim Sum Delights with Chef Florence Kwok last night at the…read moreLoblaws on Lower Jarvis Street. The class was 2 hours long and there was 10 other people with us. We made Pot Stickers, BBQ Pork Puffs, Sweet & Sour Wontons and Baked Shrimp with Sriracha Aioli sauce Chef Florence showed us how to make the filling for each dish and we got to rotate around four stations to wrap the pot stickers ( made with pork filling), bbq pork puffs, and wontons (made with pork filling). We also got to coat the shrimp in panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and put them on skewers. I liked that Florence asked us to rotate through all the stations so we got to learn how to cook each dish. After we finished cooking, we got to eat our creations and was provided with a glass of wine with the meal. You won't get full on this and will most likely need to eat before or after the class, but I enjoyed it because we learned some neat things! We paid $45 each for this class and found it to be worth it. Chef Florence was strict, but also funny. She used a blend of English and Chinese techniques to make and cook the food. For those of you that are vegetarians or cannot eat pork - this is NOT the class for you as pork was used in 3 out of 4 dishes!

We used Chef Revolution (Chef Gabe) for a team building event for our company. He came into one of…read moreour homes, and taught us several courses. It was incredibly hands-on, fun, informative and delicious! We worked in pairs, creating several recipes - step by step, with his help. We would highly recommend him for any in-home cooking class, or just having him come and in and cook for you! He was patient, funny and very knowledgeable, but the most important thing was his recipes, they were delicious. We all said there are several we will make at home. Thanks Chef Gabe, you created a memorable experience for all of us.

I had loads of fun learning and tasting the different flavours and of course tasting the results at the end. Do keep in mind their alcohol drinks are not included in the price, the price for a glass of wine was about $15. Would really recommend coming with a loved one or a friend! We signed up for Comfort Indian Food, we explored mostly the North Indian cuisine. The chef was very knowledgeable and friendly! We got to take some leftover samosas home and he also gave us the extra samosa dough so we can make it at home. Will definitely return for more cooking classes!

Very disappointed in the cooking classes at Applewood Longos…read more The instructor was very disorganized, one of the ovens was not working properly which delayed the cooking of the meal. There was not proper instruction on the prep of this dish. The registration was misleading. Our group thought each one of us would be making our own individual pan meal. Instead the class shared the prepared meal. Would not recommend this to any of my friends. I would recommend when offering these classes, instructors should have ALL ingredients, knives,cooking utensils ready for the students. There was time wasted on finding knives and hetting organized. Very disappointed.

This review is for Chef Jeffrey's French Cooking Traditions private class at our home…read more Chef Jeff was wonderful! He guided us through a delicious French meal. He accommodated our preferences in advance and taught us how to make the perfect steak. We also loved learning ratatouille, pommes aligot, and chocolate mousse. Jeff is kind, fun, professional, and laid back - and made the experience joyful and comfortable. We particularly appreciated that he would clean up for us between courses while we got to savor the food. Highly recommend! Kudos to Cozymeal for making the whole process of finding a class, communicating with our chef, etc. seamless.

I go in with a plan and figure out what I want before-same as I would for any purchase outside my realm of expertise. Staff move quickly and may be a bit short, but they know their product and can find it fast. It's a professional restaurant supply store so they're less inclined to want to share grandma's recipes. They offer a discount for those in the trade, I'm told. Pricing is reasonable and where else am I going to find a real pizza delivery sleeve or proper knife roll that won't break the bank? Best of all, they're willing to help problem solve. I had a knife that needed resharpening and they knew just where to send me. I felt like a member of a club.

They had fish from all over, cavier, and accompanying foods like crackers, olive oils, and more! They had a bunch of free samples when I was there (olive oil with fresh bread, chips, etc.) pricing seemed quite fair and the fish better quality than the grocery store! I purchased a mackerel and some cheap cavier (not the real stuff but they do sell that for $89 if you want it). When I got to the till, the lady on checkout advised they have a complementary fish cleaning service! What a bonus! Overall I was very happy with what I made for dinner and I will be returning for some more fish in the future!
