Karen Lee Cooking & Catering

I am a veteran New York City caterer, private chef, cookbook author and cooking instructor. All food is organic and fresh.
(13)

I offer imaginative cooking classes and catering tailor made for you. I personally shop for each meal, hand selecting each ingredient. As a result the quality of ingredients is the very best available locally, and the resulting meal is as delicious as it is healthy. I’ve written five cookbooks and have been featured in The New York Times, Zagat, and more. In addition to cooking classes and traditi

onal catering, I also offer private chef and casual dinner party services. Menus are tailor-made to your needs and cuisines include Chinese, Fusion, American, Italian, and Vegetarian.

Tip of The Day: Pickling beets and kohlrabi.
If you use apple cider vinegar for the pickling they will have the benefit of boosting the immune system and regulating blood sugar. Also very tasty. Join the November 13th class and learn more. Visit my website for the details.

Sunday Farmers Market at 80th and Columbus. Fresh Goat Cheese from Ardith Mae farm in upstate N.Y. A major treat , and so good for you. Most goat cheese is lower in cholesterol than cow and sheep. Also easier to digest because the animal is smaller.

Sickle Pears at the Union Square Farmers Market. Pears are high in vitamin C , good for your teeth, completion, and digestion.
Let these pears stay at room temperature for a few days but they will not ripen like other pears. Still very sweet and the season is now.

Young Ginger, aka baby or spring ginger. Available in some of the farmers markets, August through November.
Thin skin, and milder than the ginger root one finds at the local grocery store. I use it fresh or it can be pickled . Fresh or picked it can be used to make ginger tea or in stir fries….like Sliced Duck with Spring Ginger, which is on the menu for the November 13th class.
