Cozymeal Cooking Classes

Cozymeal is a booking platform, not a single school. In Portland, independent chefs list classes held at their own venues, at pop-up spots like a local brewery, a wine bar and a wellness café, or in your home. Listings cover Downtown, the Pearl District, Alberta Arts District, Hawthorne, Division, Nob Hill and Central Eastside.

Italian food leads the calendar. Chef Mauro teaches The Roman Table: 3 Italian Classics and Coastal Italian Favorites. Chef Sarah I. runs Discover the Art of Pasta and Taste of the Italian Countryside, and she can travel to you for them. Sushi is the other big draw, with pop-ups like Fun Sushi Making at a Local Brewery and Chef Jimmy's The Basics of Sushi-Making. Plant-based menus, Thai, Korean sweets, macarons and holiday cookie decorating fill out the rest.

Classes run $39 to $159 a person, and ingredients and equipment are included. Pop-up classes take 1 to 25 guests. Many chef-hosted menus top out at 12 or 15. Cozymeal Portland holds a 4.8 Google rating from 77 reviews.
