Neath Pal
Instructor
JWU Faculty Since 2009
Chef Neath Pal came to the United States from Cambodia in 1975. He received the certificate of Le Grand Dipl么me d鈥橢tudes Culinaires from France鈥檚 prestigious LaVarenne cooking school.
After working in several Parisian restaurants, he returned home to Rhode Island, where he honed his skills at Al Forno. From there he helped establish L鈥橢picureo, which quickly gained national attention, as well as Grappa, another celebrated bistro.
In 1998 Pal opened Neath鈥檚 New American Bistro. Bryan Miller, former food critic of the New York Times, praised the restaurant as a 鈥済iant leap eastward鈥 for the Providence food scene. Blending French and Asian influences, the eclectic menu highlighted the flavors of Pal鈥檚 native Cambodia, such as coconut milk, lemongrass, kaffir lime and Thai basil.
He also received the 2013 Dean鈥檚 Award for Professional Achievement. An instructor in the College of Culinary Arts, Chef Neath Pal specializes in International and Asian cuisines.
