C	Colleen Le Marquand on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On October 6th 2020 my partner surprised me with a wonderful date night to Viva Tastings. Karen welcomed us into the basement of her home where a beautiful and spotless kitchen waited for us. Karen explained all the measures she had put in place to ensure everyone attending the class was spaced properly and taking the needed COVID 19 precutions; these precautions included only two couples and her in the class, all parties and cooking stations were socially distanced 6 feet, all parties wore masks and took part in the appropriate hand washing measures. Even with these precautions I had moments where I forgot I was socially distanced or wearing a mask because I was thoroughly enjoying the experience. Karen is a wonderful cook and took the time to explain all the fundamentals we needed for cooking a mouth watering French onion soup, steak with a to die for mushroom and brandy sauce, roasted potatoes and a apple cranberry tart. I can not say enough great things about this cooking class. If you are bored sitting at home eating the same thing over and over again through this COVID-19 time I would encourage you to grab your partner, best friend or sibling and go learn some fun and delicious new recipes. You wont regret it!
S	Shannon Bannanon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We received gift certificates to attend one of the Viva Tastings cooking classes, and it was fantastic. We attended the Venetian Bacari Bar Food evening, and truly enjoyed the small class size, the instruction from Chef Karen, the recipes we cooked, and the sit-down meal following our efforts in the kitchen. We will definitely be attending another class in the future!
A	Aik Kim Heng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had originally signed up for the rustic French bistro cooking class, but due to personal circumstance I couldn't make it at the last minute. I was pleasantly surprised when Chef Karen offered to invite us back 2 weeks later to the Mediterranean Mystique class, what a gesture! That day I was also surprised to find myself in a small class size of 4 couples (including us) but we also had Chef Cal to help us. I had 2 recipes to prepare and learned couple of new techniques to cut parlsey, basil, and pomegranate. While we were enjoying our meals, we talked about our experience preparing it and Chef Karen shared her passion in cooking with us, there were a lot of laughter. I will come back again
Y	Yolanda Ferrato on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was given a cooking class as a Christmas gift by my brother and sister-in-law and I attended the Moroccan class. I enjoyed preparing the food with Karen and it was delicious. She provided the recipes and I recreated the feast with the brother and sister-in-law to great success!
R	Roberta Ferrence on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've known Chef Karen for many years, enjoying her catered items from time to time. Most recently I took her Moroccan cooking class and it is a winner. I've made Moroccan food over the years, but this was very special. She gets the spicing just right and encourages her students to taste as they go along. It was a very small class as there were some cancellations, so we got a lot of personal attention. This is not a demo class. Not only do we cook, but we get expert tips and advice as we go along. I was so taken with the menu that I'm hoping to duplicate it for a dinner party. I have taken many cooking classes over the past 40 or so years, and this is definitely one of the best. Thank you Karen!
D	Dr. Monica Vermani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Phenomenal cooking teacher!!! She is personable and extremely knowledgeable. I have been taking individual cooking classes with Karen for a few months now and it has been a sensational experience! The meals are customized to fit my lifestyle. She works with you to understand your taste buds and preferences and then gives one easy and simple prep instructions. The best part is all the foods are all extremely tasty!!!! I feel truly blessed to have met her, enjoy these cooking classes and savour meals that I do make outside the classes in my daily life now! I plan to continue these classes for a long time. Thank you Karen! ??❤️?
G	Ginette Morel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were given a gift from our kids to do a cooking class with Viva. Our experience this week was very special and intimate. Chef Karen was very informative and yet allowed all of us to move forward without too much instructions. The preparations before hand were very welcoming! "Perfect amount of butter, herbs etc.. We were delighted with the team that we worked with. Overall a great experience and wonderful food. Thank you Chef Karen.
C	Catherine McGregor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had an amazing evening with Chef Karen! Learned lots of new kitchen skills, had an absolutely delicious meal, and met some lovely people. Would highly recommend :)
