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.

Booked The French Connection with Chef Ivan in Manhattan (Greenwich Village)
First of all, the atmosphere is charming and welcoming. Chef Ivan is a consummate professional but without any arrogance. He was very approachable, friendly and detailed while teaching great techniques. He made sure that every participant performed each task, all the while keeping the class moving smoothly through preparing each course. Chef Jeremy the pastry instructor was also a good teacher and patient when answering questions. He too encouraged participants to help perform the various tasks required for making a savory pastry appetizer and the very important soufflé for desert. The menu definitely took my home cooking to a new level! I throughly enjoyed the class and would recommend it for individuals or groups.

I genuinely had a great time during this class. We started off with the cubed tuna and a side salad, then later cooked steak and ended off with a crepe. It was super fun and informative.

Booked 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 Fantastic French Feast - Date Night with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)
Chef STEPHANIE was great, a few things that would have enhanced the experience. In my opinion, the food was too little to be satisfying for a dinner. You should’ve had either bread on the table or some form of salad to start the meal. By the time we ate the scallops, they were cold, And it just wasn’t enough to be a full dinner. I learned some great Tactics and overall was a very good experience, a few tweaks could make it even better. Thanks!
Booked Perfectly Flaky Croissants with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)
The Chef was lovely, and the pastries turned out great. I only wish everyone at the table had their dough to work with instead of sharing, and it was awkward at times. There was an individual who was baking most of the time and not allowing others to have an opportunity. I think the class is overpriced if you have to share and are not baking or cooking. That is my honest review.

Booked Focus on Fresh Bread with Chef Emily in Manhattan (Hell's Kitchen)
Chef Liz knows how to bake rustic breads but a 2-hour class was too much too fast: TWO prepared dough to make TWO different recipe breads. *For $99 we EACH should get dough loaf that others didn't handle barehand) *Students didn't get 9page recipe before class - CozyMeal emailed it asap I asked *Liz didn't say ANY units of ANY ingredients (eg "add the TEASPOON of salt" vs "add the provided salt) *Helpers behind Liz were distracting. *Premises pleasant, clean, good transit.

This was a great team-building experience with Chef Stephanie, aka "Chefanie." She is informative and engaging. The chef allowed us to ask questions and provided plenty of opportunities to share the cooking and learning experience. My only suggestion would be to offer stools to participants since eating the meal standing up was awkward and uncomfortable after standing for 2+ hours during preparation

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!
Booked Private Event - SiriusXM- Pandora Team -Elegant French Cooking with Chef Paul in Manhattan (SoHo)
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.
