Recent reviews of Basic Home Cooked Meals Cooking Class
- 5/5 from Jonna Botsas, attended Mar 2025: I had an amazing time taking this class. Karen was welcoming and very detailed with her instructions. I cook regularly at home for my family, but this was my first formal class and I picked up a lot of things from how to wash leeks and vegetables, how to heat up a stainless steel pan the right way, what does a good crust on a meat look like, and how to make amazing sauces. The food was delicious! Karen is a true inspiration.
- 5/5 from Jacqueline Cullen, attended Feb 2025: Absolutely wonderful experience! My husband and I attended Karen Lee's cooking class on Valentine's Day, and it truly made the day even more special. Karen is an exceptional teacher – incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and kind. Her organization and attention to detail made the class enjoyable and easy to follow. We learned so much, and now we’re excited to recreate the recipes at home! The atmosphere was welcoming and fun, and Karen’s passion for cooking is contagious. We’ll definitely be back for another class with Chef Karen. Highly recommend! Thank you for such a memorable experience! 5 stars all the way!
- 5/5 from Ruth Planitzer, attended Feb 2025: Karen Lee’s cooking classes are absolutely phenomenal! The hands-on instruction and personal engagement make all the difference. Karen is not only a skilled professional but also an incredible teacher. She goes beyond just showing you what to prepare and how to cook it—she generously shares all her expert tips and tricks along the way. I’ve learned so much about technique, ingredients, and presentation. Thanks to her, I now feel confident and empowered in my own kitchen. I’m truly grateful for all the knowledge she’s passed on! Can’t wait for my next class—highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their cooking skills!

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.
