Chef Paul was lovely, knowledgeable, kind, funny, organized and shared such great tips & expertise. I will definitely be back! Everything was delicious and we all had the opportunity to know not only what we were making and how to do it, but also why we were doing things a certain way and how to choose the best ingredients. He also gave substitutions for vegetarians and what we can do at home if we don’t have fancy tools/machines. Thank you!

Chef Paul and his team at the Miette Culinary Studio were absolutely stellar. They communicated clearly and helped make our event for 25 people an absolute hit. I cannot thank them enough for making it such an amazing time, completely stress free and fully engaging for all. It was a great team bonding event and we learned and had fun to boot. We will definitely be doing future classes with Chef Paul's wide variety of cuisine choices.

I attended this class with my 11 year old daughter and was absolutely delighted with the experience that Chef Paul delivered! The instruction was informative, easy to follow and fun for both myself and my daughter. Chef Paul took special care to ensure that my daughter was able to participate and enjoy herself from start to finish. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was perfect and the whole experience was one that we will never forget. I would absolutely recommend taking class with Chef Paul if you are looking to gain skills and have an unforgettable night! Can't wait to do it again!

Chef Paul was such a delight! My friend and I will have jokes and culinary skills for at least the next year. He lead an amazingly COVID-19 safe space and accommodated requests about additional social distancing. I will be visiting him again for another class in the future!

My group and I were very excited to take a cooking class together, it was something that we hadn’t done before. We took the “Traditional Fare from Italy” class with Chef Paul - we made caesar salad, gnocchi with vodka sauce, and raspberry sorbet. Chef Paul created an educational and memorable experience for all of us. It was easy to follow along with his instructions and work together with another group to make a delicious meal. Chef Paul gave great explanations and demonstrated in a way that was approachable and made us feel less intimated. I highly recommend doing this as a fun group activity with family or friends - particularly for people who are interested in cooking even if you don’t have a lot of experience or you want to perfect something to recreate at home.

Chef Paul was amazing. This was a great date night for my husband and I. This would also be the perfect group or corporate event. Chef Paul not only thoroughly explained the recipes we were making, but answered all of our other, random questions about cooking. He was a true professional and one-of-a-kind. You will not regret booking with him!

I highly recommend Chef Paul. He hosted my corporate group of around 30 lawyers. The space is beautiful and met my highest expectations in terms of a culinary studio. Chef Paul was a great host, and he had plenty of staff to help with the different parts of the process. I appreciated that it was very laid back and tailored to our group, the Chef allowed us to play our own music on his speakers, we could order wine from a local shop to the event and he was flexible with a good number of dietary restrictions and food preferences. I highly recommend this for anyone, but also anyone looking for a corporate team building event, I don't see how you can beat this location.

My mom and I had an amazing time with Chef Paul in his Vegan Italian cooking class! He was very descriptive, informative, and knowledgeable. Each of us in the class had a task so we were all hands on and learned a ton. The food we made was delicious and I can't wait to use these recipes at home. I would absolutely recommend Chef Paul and his class and will be booking again.

What a memorable experience my daughter and I had with Chef Paul! The fun and ease he taught us (& our 9 other “chefs “) to understand each of the recipes was exciting. Everything came out delicious.

My wife and I had a great time with Chef Paul in the Italian classics, made vegan class. The recipes were simple ingredients that made delicious meals. Chef was very willing to share his knowledge, and we both learned much more than expected. The school itself was great as well, beautiful brick walls, nice decor in the dining area and just enough room for all of us to work in the kitchen.

Wow! We had 22 people on our work team join and I couldn’t have imagined a better setting. We all learned amazing skills, Chef Paul and Theo and Brie were amazing. The food was sooo good. They accommodated a nut allergy and a gluten allergy. Everything was super organized and clean. I’ve been to several cooking classes in my life and this was by far my favorite. Looking forward to booking more with Chef Paul - who is a lovely gentlemen from Brussels (originally) and has a great worldly view of cuisines. A+

Everything was great! It was a little intense sometimes with some of the chefs. They wanted everything to be perfect which is fine but none of us are trained cooks so that seems like a high expectation to have.

Such a delightful evening and we could not have asked for a better instructor than Chef Paul! Chef Paul was patient, his instructions were given with a genuine delight and interest in you learning the techniques that will change the way you cook for the rest of your life. The entire experience will help to make you more comfortable and it gives you a sense of confidence in using a knife (several actually lol). There are lessons, tips and small tricks that you will learn that are helpful in the preparation of cooking any meal and in awakening your taste buds and those of your guests. You will learn to cook healthier! I was definitely a novice and there were others that were on my level but the entire group was patient with one another and Chef Paul was patient with all of us. Our group was an inquisitive crowd. At the end you enjoy the meal that you prepared and we spoke about the new techniques, life, the Olympics and so much more. You leave the entire experience feeling fulfilled and accomplished in the kitchen. It was my first experience and it exceeded my expectations and that of my friend. THANK YOU PAUL (Not sir or Chef lol!) FOR SUCH A DELIGHTFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE EXPERIENCE.

I surprised my boyfriend with one of Chef Paul's classes for his birthday. We ended up being the only ones there and we didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences. He created a welcoming environment from the start and created a great hands-on experience. To say the least, Chef Paul was an amazing teacher! He was very thorough with explaining the recipe and why each ingredient/step is important to the recipe. We would definitely love to take another one of his classes!

Avery

Chef Paul was great and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the NYC area looking for a cooking class. He is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He took his time explaining his reasoning behind each step of the process to help me understand exactly why he was using certain ingredients and techniques. It is very obvious how experienced he is and he was happy to answer any and all questions I had throughout the entire class. The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of room to spread out. I am looking forward to working with Chef Paul again next time I am in the area!

I wanted to do something special for my wife for her birthday. Instead of getting her something she didn't need I decided to do an experience based gift. After the private class with Chef Paul she said this was the best birthday gift she had. I highly recommend doing a private class with Chef Paul. We really enjoyed this experience and can't wait to do the next one!

Chef Paul was fantastic. This was my third visit (that alone speaks volumes) to Miette but most recently in April 2021, my wife and I took her parents here as a Christmas gift. The food was fantastic - Chef Paul was engaging, educational and fun. The safety precautions were very sound. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun night out in NYC.
