Thai Feast class. (We were a couple doing a Thurs PM class). Loved it! Such an intelligent, charming and well travelled chef. Restaurant quality result that can work perfectly at home, in one frying pan. Super class, veg prep, knife skills, food prep tips so much beyond the recipe, great advice about ingredients and some good pointers for quality utensils.

I had the best time learning to cook with Chef Mateus, I love learning new techniques in the kitchen, the food we made was delicious and so simple to make, the atmosphere, space and working with the chef was an amazing experience!

Mateus was an excellent host. He was helpful and patient, and made sure to use ingredients and recipes that we could easily recreate at home. The food, of course, was delicious as well.

Amazing chef and teacher! My wife and I had a great time, learned so much, and ate some delicious food at the end

Our company invited Chef Mateus to our office for a small cooking class and had the best time! Despite the limitations of our space, Mateus and his wife came prepared with the right equipment and put on a beautiful, engaging, fun class. The dishes we prepared were delicious, yet simple enough for beginners. More experienced cooks left with new tricks from Mateus who’s spent years in world renowned kitchens! Our space was left cleaner than it was found. The dishwashing did not go unnoticed! Thanks so much again!

A fantastic experience! Chef Mateus created a very memorable evening for us. He covered many culinary skills and techniques, such as knife handling, mise-en-place, and many other ingredient-specific, preparation, and presentation tips. And the flavors and foods we prepared were absolutely delicious! Thank You Chef, Mateus— we look forward to returning for another class with you when our schedules match up for your French menu!!

So great! So yummy! I hope we can take another course soon.

We had the pleasure of taking the French Seafood cooking class with Chef Mateus. We absolutely loved it and have been telling all our friends about it. Chef Mateus did an amazing job at walking us through the cooking instructions and providing many helpful cooking tips. He also went through and provided some very interesting facts related to cooking. On top of that, he was super friendly and we got lost in conversation throughout the night. We intend on doing another class with Chef Mateus soon and we highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in a night of cooking.

Chef Mateus was super friendly and made sure we knew what we were doing with clear instructions while ensuring we were having a great time. He helped make my birthday a very special event, highly recommend!!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible time cooking with and learning from Chef Mateus! The kitchen and rustic dining space really set the intimate scene where we got to enjoy the phenomenal food we cooked together. We received many useful tips and insights, not only with Thai food, but also with cooking in general. Chef Mateus was very accommodating with our meals and experience, and was happy to go into detail answering our cooking questions. We'll definitely be putting our new knowledge to use when cooking at home. Left feeling very satisfied. Definitely recommend!

This was such an amazing and sweet time. I took my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and loved the set up and how fun and social Mateus was. He was patient kind and knowledgeable. Before I was a bit apprehensive because I thought it was in an apartment but it was such a cute and cozy set up. Would definitely recommend and I actually think the price is more than fair.

My boyfriend and I booked Chef Mateus' Thai Cooking Class for Valentines Day, and it was the perfect event for that occasion! He was very attentive in picking recipes and ingredients that, while unique and representative of the cuisine, are easily accessible to the average kitchen. He additionally gave us each tips while we were following along with his instruction that we will actually use in our day to day cooking. We both had a great time with Chef Mateus and would 100% recommend his classes!

Scheduled this as a fun family activity for 5 while in NYC. This was an amazing experience all around. Chef Mateus most kindly responded to all levels of cooking and cutlery experience in our group and kept everyone safe, learning and moving forward. Gave us memories we will cherish for a lifetime-not to mention skills and recipes we will utilize for a lifetime. Thanks so much chef Mateus soups chef Susie; amazing evening-thank you for making NYC even more special!

Our cooking class with Chef Mateus was amazing! We had a team bonding activity and chose the Thai Feast class. He was very knowledgeable of Thai cuisine, taught us a lot of tips and tricks for cooking, and most importantly – the meal was amazing. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Chef Mateus!

I brought my spouse to Chef Mateus's kitchen as a birthday surprise gift. The experience exceeded our expectations! Not only did we get tons of valuable knowledge about Thai cuisine and tips&tricks for achieving a mouth-watering flavor, but we also had lots of fun and got to take the remainings of our dinner home - that's how much food we cooked together. It was incredible, and we're planning to come back. Chef Mateus taught us so much about cuts and spices, I already feel like a better cook. Thank you very much.

Excellent attitude and dishes were very learnable. Highly recommend. I would gladly take another class.

Mateus was a great chef and teacher. He chose dishes with simple ingredients but which required good fundamental techniques - and he demonstrated these techniques really well.

Chef Mateus is fantastic! He has a ton of experience in the kitchen and it's clear when working with him that he has a great deal of knowledge about all things food. He is super friendly and fun to work with, and will definitely teach you techniques that will elevate your skills significantly. I highly recommend Chef Mateus to anyone in NYC for your next cooking class!
