DO NOT USE COZYMEAL!! This company is extremely unprofessional and has terrible customer service…read more We had a chef cause a serious incident requiring over $1000 in damages to the kitchen. The company has handled this with absolutely no urgency or professionalism. The chef was inappropriate and hostile with no effort from the company to compensate for damages. We are waiting for word back on the situation, but the company has been giving us the run around for 10 days with no communications from a manager or owner despite us being promised multiple times that they would get back to us the next day. We will be proceeding with legal action and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau due to the severity of the situation and the lack of action from the company. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY'S SERVICES.

Chef John is knowledgeable, efficient, and concise. We joined the "Paris Bistro Classics" class. I've learnt many tricks and hacks that I didn't know before and I can't wait to try them again in my own kitchen. Highly recommended for a date out, or even with a group of friends or for yourself.

I hosted our leadership team's very first offsite in Vancouver and I was on the hunt for an evening…read moreteam-building activity for our group of 13 that felt inclusive, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone. After a lot of research, The Dirty Apron stood out as the clear winner. I reached out nearly two months in advance only to find they were fully booked on our one available evening. I moved on and kept searching, but about a week later they contacted me to say they had a cancellation. I jumped on it immediately! From start to finish, the process was seamless. They offered a very wide variety of menu options, which made it easy to find choices that accommodated several dietary restrictions and varying preferences across our group. Communication was straightforward and stress-free. Day of, the location was easy to find and they were completely set up and ready when I arrived a few minutes early. The onsite team, Monica, our servers, and our chef were all outstanding. The structure of the experience was perfect for a team event: the chef would teach us one course, we'd break out to make it together, then sit down and eat what we'd just prepared before heading back to learn the next one. The pacing was spot-on. Our chef was engaging, educational, and fun without being over the top. Throughout the evening and through the next day, my entire team raved about the food quality, the hands-on instruction, and the overall atmosphere. After dessert, none of us wanted to leave, even after four full hours together. For a leadership team that had never done an offsite before, this was the ideal bonding experience. Highly, highly recommend The Dirty Apron for corporate team events. We got lucky with that cancellation, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to Vancouver!

What a great night learning how to prepare and cook in a real hands on atmosphere by a professional…read morechef. We did the Thai class and made shrimp spring rolls, beef satay skewers, and green curry chicken. It was so much fun and it tasted amazing. Our instructor Raf would demonstrate the prep and then the cooking of the dish while we watched him cook and gave tips and teach things like proper cutting technique, to heating the oil correctly and when to add to maximize things like flavour and not to overcook things. Once he finished it was our turn to prepare and cook the dish (while being supervised and given tips and guidance while we cooked)and then when we finished we went and sat in the dining room and got to taste our creation. Each course we did one at a time then ate it and then proceeded to the next course. If you want to learn cooking techniques and some pointers from a real pro and have some fun I highly recommend this. Great for couples, parent& child, friends or on your own to have some fun and prepare a really delicious meal. Class size was 20 people.

The three dishes that we made were pork baos, dan dan noodles, and wontons with chilli sauce. These were all staple foods that I grew up eating in a Chinese family but it was quite interesting to make them with a western fusion twist. If you don't know how to cook, do not worry because I certainly don't either. Dan, the owner, led our class with his assistant Kait. Both were very helpful, engaging in conversation, and accommodating. Dan did a really good job of explaining the origins of each dish, bringing in his own experiences and life stories with his family which I really appreciate as this added a personal touch. He stresses the use of organic ingredients and often shared with us where to buy these common items. Once you walk in, you store your personal items in the cupboard provided. Then you write your name on an erasable name tag and put your apron on. Everyone is involved in the cooking process, from washing vegetables to chopping garlic and green onions. There was just a right amount of time to cook but also socialize with one another. You can also consume alcohol while cooking. I found that the assistant often prepared most of the meat, so some of the hardest parts of the recipes were already accounted for. The pork bao, for example, only required us to make the bun part but I do not recall preparing the pork or marinating it. Everything tasted delicious and looked so colourful that the plating easily looked like restaurant quality, even if you just tossed them all together on a dish. We used a lot of garlic though so a lot of us still came to work with garlic breath the next day! Still, I think my favourite dish must have been the dan dan noodles because of the peanut sauce. Feeling very lucky to have tried my first cooking class through work and hope to be back another time to cook another cuisine!

***This is a review for their Meal Prep service…read more Recently I wanted to get some meal prep help to eat a bit healthier this new year and after reviewing several options around town, I settled on True Nosh. We started off with a quick consultation of what I was looking for in terms of meal preferences and possible menu items. Renée was happy to answer my questions and as a registered dietitian on a mission to cut sugar and encourage healthy eating, she was more than happy to help me figure out specific nutritional details. . I'm on week 1 of the one month order I made and it has been super yummy so far. Every meal has been delicious (even the meat-less ones) and there's some creativity from her team as well so it's not just the dishes you see on her website. Others in my household have also tried to eat portions of my meals because it tastes and smells so good. I've loved certain products they've sold over the years like the mixed grain rice and goji berry granola so I was super happy to see those items included as part of the grains, cookies and breakfast parfaits. This was way healthier than some other food delivery options out there.

Came here after winning a giveaway to the Taiwanese Beef Noodle class and it was such a pleasure to…read morecook and learn from Renee. She started the business desiring to produce foods that could fit the dietary restrictions of others and you could tell she was passionate about her work. It was a very hands-on experience making our own noodles, cooking the food together (there was a group of 6 of us) and her explaining the ingredients. I had so much fun making my own noodles and using the pasta roller and the food was delicious! I already have a few of the True Nosh sauces from a previous visit but I highly recommend coming to browse the products if you're looking for some sauce alternatives with lower sugar and better ingredients!

I submitted multiple requests online to contact me to schedule a corporate event for my business…read more The company failed to even acknowledge or get back to me. Then, when my staff contacted the company, not only is there a minimum charge per person, but they don't even have an office/location and, to hold the event, we would need to rent out a separate location (at our cost) to hold the event. Avoid at all costs as the service/response is piss poor and the additional fees to rent a location to hold the event is not properly disclosed on the website. Based on the quote received, a 3 hour corporate session for 10 people was between $2,350 - $2,600 depending on which "location" to hold the event, which is absolutely ludicrous given the other corporate event companies that are available.

Chef John did a great job demonstrating each dish while engaging with the group. He walked around and offered useful tips while we prepped and cooked our food. Only negative feedback is for the assistant who told us dessert was about to be served and she was pushy about clearing our table. I later saw John handing out to go boxes. We had a lot of leftovers that I would've loved to bring home for my husband instead of throwing it out. After class Chef John emailed the recipes to us and we look forward to cooking these dishes at home!

Sometimes you were listening through an audio recording and other times it was totally different. When I emailed for support I'd got an email back that didn't fully make sense. And there was never anyone available to talk to! When the course was over I was behind due to life issues and lack of comprehension of the online system. I was given a little extension but it wasn't enough time. There was nothing else the school was willing to provide me with for compensation. It feels like I spent $750 on an e-book...which now has disappeared from my Dropbox! I've taken IIN online and it was so user friendly compared to this course. We were also given a year to review our work...since we paid for it! I am sure their cooking school is amazing and informative, but the online course is not worth it in my opinion.

Hi, my name is José, I'm 61 years old and 4 months ago I had 94 kilos on my 1.78 meter frame. At 23…read moreyears of age I was 75 kilos. Four years ago I was diagnosed obese with high blood pressure and have been on medication since ( two pills a day, one is some kind of blocker and the other a diuretic) Last April I contacted Jackie because I liked what she wrote on the web. She gave me first a general outline of what I needed to do to loose some weight and followed her guide; simple things like stop eating processed carbohydrates, bottled drinks, avoid red meats as much as I could, and some high sugar fruits. And sent Jackie the forms she asked me to fill (a lot of information about my lifestyle) June 29 I stared the program she designed for me with the information I has sent her, beginning with two weeks detox, in which I lost 4.9 kilos. The loss thereafter was slower, but by august 31 I was down to 83 kilos. When I started I was 45.5" waist and 42" hip, now I m 41" waist and 40.5" hip. Three weeks ago I had a checkup and had my sugar al 87, cholesterol at 170 and triglycerides at 150. My doctor told me I could stop taking one of the medication (the blocker), to keep a daily log of my blood pressure and go see her in one month and that if my blood pressure doesn't rise I can stop taking it for good. My readings have been in the range of 118-123/75-79. I feel in general very good, my joints are not as stiff as before, my skin looks and feels smoother, I can lie down on the floor and stand up a lot easier, and I'm very happy. It was hard at the beginning but it has has become easier as the the days go by and very much worth it, my goal is 80 kilos and I'm confident I will do it. I fully recommend Jackie, she is thorough and professional and her tips are very helpful.
