Phenomenal class! Chef Paul is very knowledgeable and explains cooking techniques clearly. I learned so much about roasting and seasoning, how to hold knives and what different knives are for, and a few french chopping techniques. The food we cooked was delicious! Highly, highly recommended!

    This class was extremely fun and informative. I learned expected knife skills but also so much more about how to be a more informed, healthier, and effective cook. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more or just have an enjoyable Saturday.

    My friend and I tried our first class at Miette, a level 1 knife skills class, and had no idea about all of the things we didn't know! Not only did we learn fundamental knife cuts, but also mind-blowing knife maintenance and care. The 12-person class size allowed us all to get engaged doing the cutting and we each received personalized attention from Chef Paul before capping it off with a delicious meal cooked using the fruits of our labor.

    This class was very through and detailed from knife care, appropriate length size, and technique. Chef Paul was very kind and professional. He answered many of our questions pertaining to knife skills and cooking process. The pacing was great and the class size was perfect (8). Chef Paul also discussed the quality of ingredients and cooking style playing a crucial part in learning to cook. I look forward to attending another of his classes very soon!

Miette

Miette means, "little crumb" in French. This name was chosen while giving cooking classes at the restaurant Tartine in the West Village. Since Tartine means "slice of bread" we thought it an appropriate name for the school!
