BK Member
I have a subscription for BK Whole Plant Life and absolutely love Karina’s inventive recipes. One of the things I appreciate the most- are the notes she provides at the end of each recipe- suggestions for swapping out certain ingredients if you don’t have everything on hand and for adding lots of fresh herbs. I don’t consider myself a real cook, because I tend to want to follow every step exactly as outlined so Karina is helping me loosen up a little. It’s like she is standing next to me saying- “Get creative! Have fun! Don’t be afraid to experiment, Gail!”

Delights all the senses
“Karina’s passion for healthy, nutrient-dense food infuses her cooking, which delights all the senses. She made an unforgettable salad for a class she taught with flower petals strewn colorfully over shiny blackberries and minty cucumbers. It is always a joy to work with someone so enthusiastic and knowledgeable.” Natalie
