Chef Karen is a sweetheart and excellent cook! We had some of the best fried chicken of our life paired with her family recipes and fresh lemonade! She was also very good at accommodating a diary allergy. Many thanks for wonderful evening.

Such a delight to have Chef Karen provide a Creole meal for our work event. She was a great communicator throughout the planning process, arrived promptly as discussed, and the food was delicious! Our team will compare all Offsite meals to this one from now on!

Chef Karen is the absolute BEST!! Every single bite of food was pure heaven! That would have been enough for us, but Chef Karen is also a wonderful person with an amazing and completely charming personality! We cannot wait to book with her again!

Booked as a corporate team-building experience following internal offsite meetings and our teams are already thinking of ways we can book Chef Karen again. Every detail was perfectly tailored to our group and expertly delivered. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Karen was wonderful! She’s so personable and she’s an excellent chef. We chose the creole menu, and, while it was all amazing, I’m still thinking about the honey friend chicken two weeks later.

Karen was overall amazing! She communicated before coming over, was timely, prepared and organized. Her attitude and aura were so warming and friendly, we loved talking with her as she showed us what she was doing and let us participate (we requested this). The food was amazing... I've never had friend chicken so good in my life and her jambalaya was excellent as well! My husband and I would love cooking with her again in the future and highly recommend her!

Chef Karen was amazing. She came with the basics prepared and then walked us through a multi course meal prep. The food was delicious and she was wonderful. The evening couldn’t have been more perfect. Don’t hesitate to work with her, you’ll be happy you did.

What a magical experience! Chef Karen is truly a gem all around. From the unbelievable flavors of her dishes, down to her vibrant personality, Chef Karen truly made this a once in a lifetime experience. I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Chef Karen for any occasion. Not only did she personalize the experience for me and my boyfriend, but also made us feel included in the process of cooking as she explained all her tricks. What an absolute rockstar!

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!

Booked the class Baking Classics with Chef Karen
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 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!
