About Chef Koren

Chef Koren Draper fell in love with cooking as a child, making family meals at her mother’s side. She went on to work in professional kitchens, earning over 15 years of experience in restaurants; starting as a prep cook and rising through the ranks to become a Chef and a GM. Koren has traveled around the world learning different cuisines in Mexico, Italy, Costa Rica, Jamaica and regional America.  She recently launched Koren’s Kitchen, Catering & Prepared Meal brand. Here she brings her skills to the table as a personal chef and delivers freshly prepared meals to her clients and catering.

Chef Koren is passionate about working with fresh, flavorful, clean ingredients and teaching others how easy the art of cooking can be. Whether you are a beginner or a novice cook, in her cooking classes you will learn how to shop for the right ingredients, prep, and take your cooking skills to the next level.

Our classes are designed so that you work together with other students in a fun, hands-on environment led by Chef Koren.
