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.Choose your cuisine: American, Chinese, Fusion, Italian, French, Vegetarian Cooking Techniques: roasting, pan roasting, sautéing, stir-frying, steaming, cooking in parchment, Healing Spices and their everyday applications.
