Had the most magical time at Chef Paul's Miette Culinary Studio through Cozymeal! I brought my…read more12-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!

What an amazing experience!…read more I did a cooking class with Marla as a team bonding experience for newly elected board members. We had so much fun cooking together and laughing with Marla. The class was extremely informative while being lighthearted. We all learned so much and left with both the recipes and a list of new kitchen tools and gadgets we all wanted. Menu: - Whipped ricotta crostini with honeycomb - Butternut squash soup with frizzled shallots - Butterflied roasted chicken with rosemary, lemon and garlic - Roasted root vegetables - Lemon cream tart with berries Cannot wait to book again!

Marla explained not only the how, but the why behind the cooking. One of the dishes we made was pasta from scratch - it was so well explained and fun that after just that one class, I felt confident enough to make it on my own - thinking back to Marla's tips & explanations made it super simple. I'm now making it weekly! I would and will definitely return for another class to do a new experiences with different dishes. Highly recommended for either personal lessons (1-2 people) or a group session!

Friendly, timely, amazing food, low pressure, cleaned everything up behind them, played with the dog! They did everything for us that night so all we had to do was roll into bed after they left!

We wanted to make it special, but during these difficult times it was very hard to find a place that would accommodate any private seating. That's until my husband found Chef Tara. She opened up her beautiful home and allowed us to create the most memorable 5 year anniversary, and most memorable dinner we will ever have. Chefs Tara skills in the kitchen are truly like no other. She created the most beautiful five course meal filled with everything we love. The octopus was one of the best ones we ever had. The salad was a perfect light touch and all with seasonal vegetables from her garden. Then we got into the pastas. Both homemade, and both out of this world. We finished our dinner with her Chilean Sea-bass, that could quite honestly be the best one we will ever have. On top of chefs Taras cooking skills, she also was amazing company, and opened up her home/kitchen as if we were apart of the family! Thank you Chef Tara for making our anniversary one to remember. We both look forward to the next time we get to enjoy your company, and your food that makes my mouth water just thinking about!

Ambiance: it is very laid back with table around and music playing in the background as you slowly making your meals. Service: It was really good as the chef was explaining the steps very well and other crew members were cleaning up the small trash we were leaving behind and appliances we finished using them, which kept the table clear and organized. Food: We had the opportunity to learn how to cook Thai food and taste our own cooking which made things rewarding at the end, and it turns out to be delicious. Tip: I would rather leave some type of creativity of people rather than following the steps to the T. I wanted to have a twist when making all dishes but got denied

I had so much fun at City Cookin'! There are so many unique things about this class, but let's…read morestart with the fact that it's hosted inside an apartment. Steph, the cooking instructor is a recipe blogger in NYC and developed the idea to provide cooking classes in her own apartment. This way, New Yorkers can learn to cook delicious meals in their tiny, less than welcoming kitchen(ettes.) Steph's apartment is also a very unique space and sits at the very peak (literally) of a tall corner building. The space itself is small, but she has an enormous outdoor patio with beautiful views. The second unique part of this class is that Steph worked to recreate dishes from famous NYC restaurants and gives you the recipes at the end of the class so you'll be able to try them at home. Each class has a different menu, but my class featured: US Open Melon Cocktails Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate Jean-George's Tuna Tartare (my personal fav) Momofuku Brisket Buns Levain Chocolate Walnut Cookies (we didn't actually bake these, but she sent us home with some and the recipe) I recommend this class for any foodies, New Yorkers, couples, roommates, a Mother's Day gift, a bachelorette party, a divorce party, or anyone that wants to see how NYC Cookin' works.
