Hi My name is Karen Binkhorst and I have been the owner, chief cook and bottle-washer for Home Meals with Karen my personal chef and catering company since 1997. I love to cook but I really love to help folks have the healtiest, tastiest, and most satisfying meals possible. This is the way my business works. I do an interview with you, over the phone, to find out what you like to eat, what you don't like to eat, and if you have any allergies or other food issues.
Then I create meals and menus tailored just for you. So if you don't like fish or you like your vegetables minced up tiny or even if you don't like vegetable at all, that's what I make for you. If you would like to schedual a party or for Home Meals just give me a call or shoot me an email.

In connection with ChefShop I am offering @home cooking classes.
For $399 I come to your home and teach a class for about 1 1/2- 2 hours.
Recipes, ingredients, and instruction for 5-15 guests.
I am offering 6 classes right now.
They are Tapas, Greek, Italian, Moroccan, French, and Small Plates and Appetizers for the holidays.
Of course we can always tailor a class to fit your needs as well.
These classes are VERY information heavy.
I tell all about where, when, how, and why I'm using the products and ingredients that I use.

Carol and I have sent our baby, Every Bite- getting the most out of your meals to Vanguard Press for publication!
We are about ready to burst!
It just the beginning of the process but we are hoping for a fall launch.
It's been a great experience and we are looking for our next subject to work on, Every Bite 2.0 anyone?
I'll keep you updated as we move forward.
