In this cooking class taught by Chef Karen Lee, you will learn how to make an Italian menu. Your menu will vary by session, but some delicious dishes include skewered mozzarella with a fresh basil dip, pan-roasted shell steaks, pasta with cauliflower and panetta, almond biscotti, and more!
These are impressive yet achievable dishes you can master and make at home any night of the week. Don't worry if you don't have much cooking experience, as Chef Karen creates an accessible and friendly environment for beginners, showing you everything step-by-step.

I am a veteran New York City caterer, private chef, cookbook author and cooking instructor. I offer imaginative cooking classes and catering tailor-made for you.
The most frequently asked question: “What is your specialty?” I respond, “Cook for taste, eat for health.”
If your goal is to lose weight and get healthy, I can help you.
If your goal is to cook food that is restaurant quality but is better for you, I can help you.
If your goal is to prepare speedy entrées, I can help you.
Behind every good meal is a good shopper and that’s me Karen Lee — I am the shopper and I will turn you into a good shopper too. I personally shop for each meal, hand-selecting each ingredient. I interview every peach. :)
“Where were you grown?
When were you picked?
Are you organic?
Are you good enough for my class tonight?”
As a result, the quality of ingredients is the very best available locally and the resulting meal is as delicious as it is healthy. Food that makes you feel good while and after you have eaten.
That crust on a nice piece of halibut or salmon you have been enjoying in restaurants for years is now minutes away from being added to your cooking repertoire.

I will change your life in the kitchen forever. Come cook with me.
