This was a wonderfully fun day cooking with Chef Karen. We made fancy deviled eggs, a tart tatin, tiramisu, and cannoli. My husband was quite happy to come home to an array of delicious foods!

Booked the menu French Fine Dining At Home with Chef Karen
We recently had a wonderful French dinner prepared by Chef Karen, a Christmas gift from our son. After a busy holiday season, we finally scheduled this experience, and it truly exceeded our expectations. ### Menu Selection - **Vichyssoise Soup**: A smooth blend of potatoes, leeks, and cream. - **Peppered Duck Breast**: Tender duck with a rich Bordeaux wine sauce, seasonal vegetables, and truffled roasted potatoes. - **Crêpes Suzette**: Delicious crêpes served with flambéed citrus sauce, Grand Marnier, and vanilla bean ice cream. From the moment Chef Karen arrived, she was friendly and engaging. She brought along a bottle of wine, which was a lovely touch. What impressed us the most was her professionalism; she got right to work, cooked beautifully, and left our kitchen spotless, washing all the dishes. The food was fantastic. Chef Karen explained each dish as she served it, making the experience even more enjoyable. The duck was definitely a highlight—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The soup was delicious and beautifully plated. The crêpes were out of this world, with a rich citrus sauce and homemade vanilla ice cream. Wow. Everything was delicious. She also left us with some extra food, along with additional seasoning for the duck for future use and delicious crepe batter, which was a thoughtful gesture. Overall, this was a fantastic experience in our home, and we would definitely recommend Chef Karen. We look forward to enjoying her cooking again in the future! It was such a beautiful dinner and an intimate experience with my husband.

Booked the class Taste of Greek Coast with Chef Karen
Chef Karen taught us to make a Greek meal and we had a wonderful time! She was fun, kind, taught us tricks in the kitchen and thought of everything from bringing gloves so we could mix ingredients with our hands to edible flowers to decorate plates. Everything tasted delicious, too!

Karen was amazing, my wife and I had a terrific time learning all the tips and tricks cooking some impressive greek food. You can learn so much cooking alongside Karen, she's knowledgeable, prepared, and above all she made it fun! The chicken was seasoned to PERFECTION and the dessert was AMAZING. Would 100% cook with Karen again, we highly recommend her!!

Booked the class The Art of Homemade Tamales with Chef Karen
Chef Karen gave us an unforgettable, hands-on experience learning the art of making tamales. From whipping the masa to filling, folding, and carefully wrapping each one, she made the entire process approachable, meaningful, and so much fun. We loved every part of it — especially frying our own tortilla chips and making fresh guacamole from scratch! It was interactive, delicious, and surprisingly empowering to create everything ourselves. Chef Karen’s patience, warmth, and passion for sharing tradition truly shined. She didn’t just teach recipes — she shared culture, stories, and heart. The kitchen was filled with laughter, incredible aromas, and genuine connection. We were also celebrating a birthday, and when she sang a soulful birthday song to our friend Yvette, it was pure magic. Such a beautiful, personal touch that made the day even more special. We left with new skills, full hearts, and very happy stomachs. Highly recommend Chef Karen to anyone looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable culinary experience! — Arlene

Booked the menu French Fine Dining At Home with Chef Karen
Chef Karen made us French onion soup, steak, and crepes with ice cream. The highlight was the steak, perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. She was friendly, left the kitchen very clean, and left us some yummy leftover sauces. We’ll be hiring her again!

Booked the class Handcrafted Italian Meal with Chef Karen
We absolutely LOVED our private class with Chef Karen! She has such a bright and sunny disposition, clear communication, deep knowledge of cooking and specifically teaching others how to cook, and, as we discovered when we put on a classic playlist, a lovely singing voice. I would absolutely book again without hesitation!

Chef Karen came to our home and hosted the Italian cooking class. It was fun, informative and a great way to spend a Thursday evening! The Alfredo made from scratch was superb!!! If you're looking for an entertaining night doing something little different than the norm, I'd recommend chef Karen. She's a hoot!!!

Chef Karen is fabulous! We did appetizers, main dish (chicken, couscous, asparagus), and dessert. She showed us how to plate the food for presentation and how make it look fancy with a few small touches. Our meal was delicious!

Booked the class Artisan Pizza 101 with Chef Karen
We cooked artisan Pizza and it was great. Karen was very knowledgeable and fun. Karen came on time and was well prepared. We are already talking about having her again for another family cooking class.
Kris B.
Booked the class Flavors of Thailand with Chef Karen
We made a spicy mango salad, lettuce, wraps, pad, Thai, and fried bananas, drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. It was a feast. We learned how to slice a mango, how to plate our food, beautifully, kitchen, safety, and that there’s always a work around. One of our guests is allergic to garlic. Karen was prepared to make regular lettuce, wraps, and pad Thai as well as garlic, free versions. She was a lot of fun. She kept us on track and laughing the whole time.
