Mat is a classically trained French chef from the Ecole Supérieure de Cuisine Française in Paris.  Born and raised in Paris, Mat’s 15 years of experience in the culinary and hospitality industries took him from Europe to Argentina and then to New York. Mat took a hiatus from restaurant life to run his family’s business and raise his three children, but his passion for cooking brings him back to his roots to teach at The Cooking Lab.
