Testimonials
Hi Sally and Paul,
Thank you both for all the
careful planning that went into making our dinner such a success. Everyone had
a great time. Cathy Carrington on our staff wrote a really positive article in
our monthly newsletter describing the class, and word has spread about what a
fun experience it was.
The group was divided into three teams, each responsible for creating a
course. One team was responsible for the white bean soup. For the main course,
another team assembled either chicken or tilapia Papillote with fresh
vegetables. A team member was pleased that no prior cooking experience was
required. We each assembled our own entree - a true creation wrapped in
parchment - that was delicious. We were like kids intent on following directions
and so impressed with our handiwork.
For dessert, the baking team, under the direction of a pastry chef, dazzled
the entire group with a delicious and warm molten chocolate cake. One team
member says the best part [was] making the Warm Molten Chocolate Cake. I think
it's a dessert I can make and certainly enjoy with friends. Even better, she
continues, My desert making team won the "chef's hat", which we got to wear for
the evening's meal.
Congratulations to our award-winning TTN molten chocolate cake team!
The group also enjoyed the instruction and atmosphere created by Chef Paul.
Participants noted that the chef was adorable and very laid back and
delightful - nice manner, good humor and some fine tips.
The evening was great fun for many reasons. The women who came had various
backgrounds or interaction with cooking but they all came with a sense of
adventure and enthusiasm. The wine was flowing, everyone shared with each other
in the cooking experience, and the conversation was wonderful. It was so much
fun for me to be with women who were from so many interesting backgrounds and
experiences. The setting was wonderful as well. I have already made a couple of
the recipes again, that's how good they were! All in all a great evening and I
would recommend it to anyone!

Chef Paul,
Thank you so much for such a delightful evening last night. I
really enjoyed the entire experience, from the atmosphere of the studio to
your knowledge and patience with the students. More importantly than learning
some new recipes, I enjoyed watching you perform your passion. The true
highlight was seeing your chef book from Tartine and talking with you over
dinner. You've sparked the true foodie inside me that sometimes hides when
life gets too busy.
Thank you for sharing your passion.
All my
best,
Andrea Shores

Dear Chef Paul,
Last night I received the birthday gift of my life, a
night with my daughter and a cooking class with you. I truly enjoyed cooking
with you and honing my culinary skills. Your sagacious culinary wisdom was
generously bestowed upon your eagerly awaiting students. You taught us
recipes from Saveur while instructing us in techniques and simple cooking
secrets that make any recipe better.
Thank you for a wonderful evening
of cooking, learning, great food and fun; it was a night I won't forget
anytime soon.
Sincerely,
Marie Iarossi

My husband, Brian, and I wanted to thank Chef Paul for a wonderful private
cooking lesson last month! It was a wedding present from our friends, and we
decided it was one of the best wedding presents we've received! We enjoyed every
minute of our time together at Miette - and we can't wait to try out some of the
recipes at our next dinner party!
Thanks again - we can't WAIT to come back - and bring our friends to
Miette!
Sincerely,
Laura and Brian Blank

Hi Sally,
I just wanted to send you a note to give a big thanks to everyone there,
especially Paul, for last Wednesday evening. I must admit, we were a bit
concerned about the size of the area upon arrival, but Paul and your sommelier
did a great job of making up for the confined space. Everyone had a wonderful
time, learned new cooking tips, and thought the food was delicious! We
particularly liked getting the menu packets at the conclusion of the evening (so
we could attempt a recreation at home :-).
Please extend our thanks to the entire team that spent the evening with
us.
Best,

Dear
Rita,
We at Nurun
would like to personally thank you, along with the staff of Miette, for a truly
memorable, enjoyable, unique, delicious, and fun filled evening.
From the moment
we arrived, your staff walked us through an incredible range of activities that
had us laughing, engaging with one another, observing each others culinary
abilities, and learning different aspects of French cuisine and fine wines.
Special thanks to the gentleman who patiently and enthusiastically explained
each of the wines to our group along with executing the difficult task of
keeping our glasses full!
The setting was
beautiful and along with the music, the aromas from the kitchen, and the warmth
of hospitality, you helped our office come together in an evening that was much
needed and one which will not soon be forgotten.
Please offer
each person at Miette who assisted in facilitating a truly wonderful evening our
sincerest gratitude.
Respectfully,
The Nurun
Staff

Dear
Rita,
I
just had to write to thank you for such a wonderful event. Everything worked
like clockwork. The location was beautiful, the chef and su-chefs were so
accommodating and pleasant to work with and the food was out of this world. My
friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I am sure we will be planning
another party in the future and I think some of my friends may be contacting you
to plan corporate events.
Thank
you so much for your attention to every last detail. Please give my thanks and
appreciation to Paul and the rest of the crew.
Best
regards,

Dear Rita
and Chef Paul,
I just
wanted to send a little thank you note for all the hard work that you do for
your students. This was the second time I have attended a class and each class
only gets better. My sister came with me tonight, the whole way home all she
could talk about was how great her night was and how much fun the class and
people were. She says
every time she comes to visit me, she wants to take a cooking class.
Thanks
again!
God
Bless,

Dear
Rita:
My son's
birthday party event took place last night. It was fabulous. Paul went that
extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. My son absolutely loved the
whole evening. This is the second Miette culinary event I have attended....and
it will not be the last. I will recommend your parties to my colleagues and
friends and hope to be back in the near future with another group to enjoy
another wonderful evening with Miette. Thanks for everything and please pass
along my regards to Paul.
Sincerely,
Ruth Pariser

In the dinning area of their charming parlor-floor of a Greenwich Village townhouse, Paul, Stacey and Rita,
planned and executed a lovely anniversary party for my parents. The food was
fabulous. It was obvious that it was carefully and lovingly prepared and
served. It was perfect for us. It was intimate and relaxed but festive and
just a little bit different. We had a wonderful evening with each detail
carefully attended to in a loving manner. The planning stage was also
comfortable and easy. Once Rita knew our tastes she was able to create a
perfect meal that worked for everyone. Rita thought about the tastes and
styles of every person attending the party -- she even remembered to help the
children feel included and special by making sure that someone was there to
organize them in decorating the cake in honor of their grandparent’s
anniversary!

Cooking School in New York!!! – Miette Culinary Studio –
It’s nice to go on
a trip. But I want something more, something like a “skill” before I fly back
to Japan.
The motivation drove me to challenge a cooking class in
NY.
Typed key words “culinary” “cooking” “New York”, and there were lists of
culinary schools in New York. How convenient the time has become!
Among
the classes listed, the most attractive - with lovely pictures of the room and
encouraging comments of users - was the one I joined: Miette Culinary
Studio.
The class locates in the heart of Greenwich Village, a district
known as one of the most stylish area in Manhattan. I rang the bell, and Paul,
the tutor, greeted me in. I was the first to arrive.
The room furnished
with yellow tone looked bright and clean, and the table had plates set ready for
the number of students today. Eventually, other students arrived.
The
menu had been noticed in advance:
Gougères
Salade des Moines
Poussin
Vallée d’Auge
Gratin Dauphinois
Soufflé au Chocolate
Yes, it’s
French. But I hardly expected what they were, except Soufflé au Chocolate, until
the cooking was done.
