Chef Karen Swank
Personal Chef In ChicagoGet to know me better
First you eat with your eyes! My approach to cooking starts with making your meal look just as appealing as it's taste.
I have been cooking since I was a young girl. I love experimenting in the kitchen and providing approachable, restaurant worthy meals and cooking classes. My portfolio of cuisine includes Mexican, French, Moroccan, Italian and good old American. I carefully curate your meal or class to enliven and excite all your senses. Allow me to create a menu specially for your occasion or let's collaborate!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
a way to share my love and the art of cooking. To give you an unforgettable experience that you will talk about for days to come!
I learned to cook at...
I became hooked on cooking when I signed up for a 4H class where, at 10 years old, I had to plan, shop for and prepare a meal for my family.
A cooking secret...
Pick ingredients and the dishes you make with them so they sing and play off one another in color, texture and taste!
