Chef Jamie kindly welcomed us into her home and provided a comfortable environment to experiment with flavors and enjoy developing a 3 course meal. This was a great date night activity that left us with tips and tricks we can bring into our own kitchen. Chef Jamie is a well seasoned professional whose expertise and sense of humor made for a fun evening in the kitchen. Thanks Chef!

Booked the class The Best of Italian Favorites with Chef Kenneth in Manhattan (Upper East Side)
Chef Ken was great-had a relaxed easygoing but professional manner. He came with everything he needed short of a blender which we provided for and assorted pots/pans. We learned a lot-and were put to work in a fun voluntary manner..our groups got their hands dirty from time to time but Ken also cooked/kept things moving forward as we were also catching up while watching/learning. I was impressed by the time saving use of the blender and various shortcuts learned to save time/effort that provided delicious results! Chef Ken taught us how easy some of these dishes were to make-incredible arancini in a marinara sauce, a fantastic Caesar salad w homemade dressing, homemade gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce, and delicious homemade cannoli w chocolate chip ricotta filling! He did a great job of passing tips and tricks along the way.. Our group learned a lot and agreed we would like to recreate some of these dishes at home again. I would recommend working w Chef Ken for your next cooking lesson/dinner party!

Chef Kenny was absolutely FANTASTIC! My fiancé and I made Italian food with him for Valentine’s Day and he made our night so special, was so informative and hands on and couldn’t recommend him more.

Chef Jamie is very personable and professional, overall an awesome host! She provided a well structured learning environment and guided us through our cooking experience with care.

Booked the class South Indian Breakfast Feast with Chef Kavitha in Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant)
We had a fantastic time with this experience. Chef Kavitha was able to accommodate us in our tiny Brooklyn kitchen and came with all the supplies she needed. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the cuisine and was able to answer a lot of questions, and we learned a ton. The food was also delicious and it was fun to try to cook our own dosas.

Chef Mariana welcomed us into her house and created such a warm atmosphere. She guided us through every step of the cooking experience, and we ended up making four delicious dishes. I truly recommend this class to anyone who wants to elevate their cooking skills and have fun!

Booked the class Authentic Indian Brunch with Chef Kavitha in Manhattan (Morningside Heights)
We had a great time cooking with Kavitha. She was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. Kavitha was impressively organized and most of the ingredients were presliced/chopped so we could spend more time on actually cooking the meal, which was DELICIOUS!
Booked the class South Indian Breakfast Feast with Chef Kavitha
Kavitha’s South Indian Dosa cooking class is FANTASTIC! I booked her for my girlfriend’s bday and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Kavitha was very detailed in her explanations of the recipes, as well as the history behind each dish. She walked us through each item step by step, and the final dishes were so tasty. She is very talented and we recommend you try out her south indian dosa class - you won’t regret it.

Booked the class Authentic Indian Brunch with Chef Kavitha
Chef Kavitha’s class was nothing short of an absolute dream. She’s an amazing teacher and incredibly personable. This felt like cooking with a close family member. The food itself was nothing like I’ve ever tasted. A myriad of deep and satisfying flavours that were tailored to our tastebuds. *Chef’s Kiss* 10/10 we WILL be booking many classes with her in the future!

Best chef ever!
Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)
I attended Chef Mukti's class with my partner, Andrew, and cooking with her was an incredible experience! It was our first cooking class ever, and Mukti taught us how to make *five* amazing vegan Indian dishes from scratch. Mukti not only walked us through each cooking step, but she also taught us some really helpful tips and tricks about cooking in general, including how to handle cookware properly and how to incorporate different kinds of spices — and the benefits of them as well. To top it all off, the food itself is to-die-for. Mukti's cooking class is definitely worth it and we both highly recommend it to anyone.

Booked the class A Taste of Ancient Greece with Chef Maria in Manhattan (SoHo)
Chef Maria was a wonderful guide to Greek cuisine! The food was amazing, and everyone had a great time. We chopped herbs, made doughnuts, and everyone had plenty to eat. I’d do this again! The entire team had a great time.
Randy S.
Booked the class Vegan and Gluten Free Indian with Chef Mukti in Brooklyn (Borough Park)
Highly recommend! I scheduled a gluten free and vegan Indian cooking class with Chef Mukti for my girlfriend's birthday. My girlfriend is gluten free and dairy free. Chef Mukti had to reschedule our class for a different day with a different menu that wasn't necessarily gluten or dairy free. Chef Mukti made sure to have options for my girlfriend so that she didn't miss out on anything. The food was unbelievably delicious. Mukti was extremely informative during the entire cooking process. We were with a family of seven that we didn't know. Mukti made the atmosphere comfortable and we had a blast. She also made sure everyone was involved constantly. It was so much fun and the food was so good. We don't live in NYC but if we did I'm sure we'd do another cooking class with the chef. I never leave reviews for anything online but I felt like I needed to for this. Great experience, and after the dinner Mukti sends you an incredibly detailed recipe of everything so you can cook it again.

Chef Mukti ran a wonderful and engaging class which was really effective in giving familiarity with ingredients and fundamental techniques. You will definitely learn by doing and it is hard to imagine a better cooking class experience.

What a great night! My husband gifted me this cooking class for my birthday and what a treat! I didn’t know what to expect going into this class, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The class was personal, comfortable, and fun. I loved the homemade approach and the fact that we were hands on. I learned so many new cooking tips and techniques. The food was amazing. And our teacher was excellent. I will be back for more classes. This is a great gift for someone or something fun to do if you want a change of pace.

My husband and I booked Chef Jamie's experience for a date night and it didn't disappoint. She has a great personality and we didn't feel rushed through the class. The recipes were easy to follow even for my husband who only know how to boil eggs. This class is perfect for anyone who is a vegetarian or plant based.

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!!

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 Pizza Creations From Start to Finish with Chef Jimi in Manhattan (Upper West Side)
My husband, kid(s) and I took the pizza class, and it far exceeded our expectations. We learned authentic culinary techniques, enjoyed a delicious salad, crafted restaurant-quality dough, and ended with an equally delicious dessert. Highly recommended.
Alison M.
Booked the class 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 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!

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.

Booked the class Fresh Italian Gnocchi From Scratch with Chef Jamie VK in Brooklyn (Park Slope)
This event was absolutely amazing for our anniversary! Chef Jamie was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the cooking session. She answered all our questions about cooking oils and shared her wealth of cooking experience. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would definitely do it again. Plus, we’re excited to try making homemade gnocchi on our own! Thank you, Jamie!
