Booked the class Feast Inspired by the Lord of the Rings with Chef Denis in Manhattan (Harlem)
Chef Denis Williams truly delivered an unforgettable dining experience right to my doorstep! From the moment he stepped into my apartment, his warmth and expertise set the stage for an enchanting evening. The Lord of the Rings-themed 3-course meal he prepared was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing his talent and creativity. Not only was Chef Denis incredibly kind and sweet throughout the evening, but he also shared his extensive knowledge of the culinary world, adding a delightful educational element to the experience. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail and professionalism - he left my kitchen spotless, as if he were never there. I cannot recommend Chef Denis Williams highly enough for anyone seeking an exceptional private dining experience.

Excellent class. Chef Paul is terrific. Along with knife skills, he also offered numerous and invaluable cooking tips. The kitchen/classroom space was beautiful and immaculate. The ingredients and tools were high quality, and our meal was delicious. We learned (using our new knife skills) how to prepare: bruschetta, roasted hens/chicken, roast parsnips and carrots, roast potatoes, and an apple tart. We had a terrific time. Bravo!

Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Park Slope)
We cooked a vegan and GF Mediterranean meal, with falafel and tzatziki, roasted vegetables with quinoa and Lemon Olive Oil cake. It was SUCH a great and fun class. I personally learned better knife skills, lots of cooking tips and tricks to make cooking easier and faster, and had a wonderful meal that I look forward to and feel confident of creating on my own. My daughter and I attended the class together and there was a young couple in the class too and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Chef Jamie's teaching space/home was lovely - perfect for our class and she made the entire experience interesting, resourceful, TONS of fun and inspiring! I look forward to taking another class! My only regret was I forgot to take pictures!!
Booked the class Private Event - Pinterest Team - Menu is TBD with Chef Paul in Manhattan (SoHo)
Chef Paul and his team went far above and beyond any expectations I could have imagined! They were so professional, so helpful with menu and wine pairings, so hands-on with our guests and the food was astounding. I would highly recommend Chef Paul and the Miette team for any event!
Booked the class The Art of French Cooking with Chef Paul in Manhattan (SoHo)
Had the most magical time at Chef Paul's Miette Culinary Studio! I brought my 12-year-old niece, who absolutely loves to cook. When signing us up, I mentioned in a note that her dream is to become a chef. The class included seven or eight adults and us, and Chef Paul went out of his way to make her feel welcome. He took her under his wing, showing her basic techniques and treating her aspirations with such respect that she felt truly seen and encouraged. We arrived early, and Chef Paul shared that he began cooking in a professional kitchen around the same age as my niece, then apprenticed under a famous chef in Paris at 15. He later became the head chef of two restaurants before opening his own culinary studio. The class focused on French cooking and included a four-course meal. I loved that it was small and intimate—just 10 people—compared to other classes I found that had 16 to 20 participants. Although we worked in groups of four to prepare each dish, Chef Paul brought everyone together where he demonstrated key steps across all the courses—techniques that many cooks get wrong—and showed us how to do them for the best results. He even provided special recipes for us to take home and ensured that each student got hands-on experience with parts of multiple dishes. It truly felt like a shared and collaborative learning experience. By the end of the three-hour class, our class of nine or ten had shared a delicious meal and great conversation. My niece was absolutely thrilled and left even more inspired to pursue her dream. If you have a child who loves cooking, I can’t recommend Chef Paul highly enough. He even offers children’s group classes upon request. Thank you, Chef Paul, for such a warm, generous, and unforgettable experience!
Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Park Slope)
From the moment we walked in, Chef Jamie made us feel completely at ease—her warm presence was so comforting, especially since we’re a little on the shy and introverted side. She created such a welcoming atmosphere that the two hours flew by, and we left not only having made delicious vegetarian Middle Eastern food but also feeling so much more confident in the kitchen. Jamie is incredibly knowledgeable, and her goal is truly to empower her students—she gave us invaluable advice, from how to properly hold a knife to small tricks that make cooking smarter and less intimidating. I’m already seeing the aftereffects; today, as I made sheet pan vegetables, I found myself thinking back to her class. I highly recommend this experience—it felt so personal, and I walked away with skills I’ll carry with me every time I cook!
Booked the class Vegetarian Mediterranean Fare with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Park Slope)
Had a great experience at Jamie's Mediterranean class. She was heavy on educating us on what we were using, why, and always had an alternative we could explore. Healthy amount of challenge to try flavors we were previously adverse to. And she's extremely entertaining! The lemon olive oil cake was the star of the show.
