Hi everyone 👋🏼

I've been living in Harpenden for 12 years and have just begun my new business Karen's Kitchen (please follow on Facebook to check out my weekly menu) cooking fresh, homemade meals on a daily basis, offering busy families an opportunity to enjoy healthy, tasty meals from Brazil and other exotic places, as well as traditional English dishes and some Saturday special treats!

It's been a hit within the South American community and I hope to now share it with our lovely local people!

As an introduction, this Saturday 17/09, I will be making a delicious traditional Brazilian dish called Feijoada (Fay-joe-ada 😋 ) - Brazilian black beans and pork stew. This dish has been a winner on Come and Dine with Me and I guarantee you will love it!

Feijoada is packed full of Brazilian black beans, Italian and Portuguese sausages, pancetta, cured beef and smoked pork ribs, served on a bed of white garlic rice, farofa (Brazilian cassava flour with bacon) and seasoned spring greens with vinagrette.

All my friends can't get enough of it! So, if you fancy something different today please get in touch.

Costs are £14 per head and collection is from my house in the Wood End area

If you'd like more information about ingredients ordering or anything else, just message me and I'll be happy to help.

Many thanks / obrigada!
