Chef Karen is amazing! Her food is nourishing, fun, delicious, and obviously made with love. She was the chef for a recent retreat I attended, and not only was the food stellar, but Chef Karen is a total hoot. She is the exact personality you want for events, easygoing, funny, kind, and dedicated. (And she has great taste in music!)I also want to share that when some of our participants were stranded by a car they had booked that never showed, Chef Karen went way above and beyond the call of duty, and made sure that the attendees got to their plane on time. Obviously, this isn't a thing that should be expected, but it's important to name things out loud when folks are extra-awesome. And Chef Karen is 100% extra-awesome!My only complaint is that she lives on the other side of the country, so it will be awhile before I get to have her food again. But if you're near Tucson, get some Chef Karen in your life!

My wife and I are challenging customers for any chef. I have dietary restrictions and my wife has restrictions too and some of our restrictions are different. Karen took the time to work with us to make delicious food we could both fully enjoy. She was so patient with us and so willing to make everything right. The quantity was generous, the taste delicious, and the care she put into the meals was most evident. We've moved from Tucson but if we were to return we'd hire Karen again. I most highly recommend her.

How did I eat Karen's *amazing* cooking at a retreat and *lose* weight?? I mean, we're talking custardy apple crumbles, a hearty and creamy chili stew, cookies as good as any bakery, artichoke-stuffed portabellos, veggie-stuffed and grilled cheese sammies. Everything was made from scratch with organic, whole-food ingredients (all gluten-free for our retreat, but I had no idea until the fifth day!), so apparently my body was as happy as my tastebuds. Plus, Karen is cool, fun and totally badass. She's like the Tucson private chef whisperer.

Karen is absolutely FANTASTIC! I had the pleasure of attending a retreat where she cooked three delicious meals a day, plus desserts that were to die for. Her food is nourishing, accessible, and so so yummy, plus she's a lovely person :) Highly recommend!!!!!!

Chef Karen prepared dinner for our group of eight during our first visit to Tucson in the Airbnb we rented. It was outstanding. She is a delight. The food was fantastic -- from the salad and stuffed mushrooms, right through the most amazing chocolate mousse cake. Chef Karen was a pleasure to speak with and had lots of great advice about places to go in Tucson. When she left, the kitchen was gleaming. We were only sorry she didn't join us at the table when we ate. We will certainly see Chef Karen again when we return, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone unconditionally.
