Chef Karen and her co-chef created a great, non-judgmental, fun experience. The food was amazing and my wife and I got to meet some local people. Each group worked on separate dishes. It was really nice to enjoy all the separate dishes together at the end as one group. It felt a bit like a family meal.

Chef Karen and Chef Anne were amazing instructors as we and our group created a Moroccan meal. They did much of the prep so we were cooking and learning in a relaxed atmosphere and the results were excellent. We all learned loads and we felt like we had made new friends by the end of the evening. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to spend an evening learning useful skills and having a great meal. We brought a nice bottle of wine along which added to the experience.

The kindest, most patient and knowledgeable chef! A million times better than an Eataly or St.Lawrence Market cooking class. Small, intimate class and very hands on. Will be doing every class she offers! -Dylan

I thoroughly enjoyed Chef Karen’s class. The recipes my daughter and I prepared (my belated bday) exceeded my expectations. They were bursting with flavour. Lots of hands on, good instruction and demos, and opportunities to ask questions in a relaxed and professional environment. Christine

What a great experience! My girlfriend and I attended Chef Karen’s cooking class and absolutely loved the entire night. Chef Karen had so many great tips and techniques to preparing food that we had never known before. In addition to being a brilliant chef, Karen is simply a lovely person to talk to and share a meal with. I would highly recommend Chef Karen to anyone looking for an intimate night of cooking and learning.
