Culinary Specialist Karen Davis
Meet Taste of Home Culinary Specialist Karen Davis! Karen conducts Cooking School shows throughout the country, focusing primarily on the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin areas. “The Taste of Home Cooking School is fun, entertaining, and just a great night with others who love to cook,” proclaims Karen. “Everyone walks away learning something new.”
Karen currently resides in central Iowa with her husband. Karen graduated from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa with a double major in Home Economics Education and Educational Services in Family and Consumer Sciences. Karen has over 15 years of food marketing and education experience working for national food product and marketing companies. When not putting on an amazing Cooking Schoolshow, Karen loves to cook, garden, and spend time with family and friends.
To learn more about Karen, take a look at some of her answers to questions below!
Tell us something about yourself that very few people know? I live in a small town in Iowa that is nicknamed the “Good Egg Town”. The sign that greets you when you drive into town says, “Home to 1,700 good eggs, and a few stinkers”. My husband and I hope we’re a couple of the “good eggs!”
What’s your favorite book? Take Time for Your Life by Cheryl Richardson.
How did you develop your passion for cooking/food? I developed my love of cooking from my Mom and Grandma. They were both farm wives and often served meals to the men working on the farm during planting and harvest season. I loved to tag along and help them.
Do you have any interesting uses for everyday kitchen tools or pantry items? I like kitchen tools that serve double duty. For instance, I use ice cube trays to freeze leftover chicken broth. Once frozen, I pop them out into plastic storage bags and thaw them, as needed, for soups, sauces or gravies. I use plastic self-sealing storage bags for piping deviled egg filling or decorative icing for cakes. Simply snip off one corner with kitchen shears and press the mixture through the tip.
What is your favorite thing to cook versus your favorite thing to eat? One of my favorite things to make is bread – especially if I have extra time on the weekend. I just love the process of proofing, shaping and baking it. The whole house smells wonderful.
What is a funny or memorable moment that has happened in your own kitchen? When my husband and I were first married, I decided to try and impress him by making pizza, complete with a homemade crust. Within minutes of baking the pizza the cheese was bubbly and brown, so I took it out to serve. The trouble was, the crust was still doughy and the pizza slices fell into heaps of mush on our plates. We tossed the pizza, along with my pride, and called for pizza delivery! Since then, I’ve learned to bake the crust first, and then add the toppings during the last few minutes.
When did you start cooking? I started cooking and baking around the time I received an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas. I still have it! It’s bright orange and bakes cakes and cookies with the heat of a light bulb.
You are truly a Cooking American! We all love you-
Thanks, Michael! You are too funny.
I had a wonderful time in Alexandria, MN last night. We had a great crowd, and it was fun to meet so many people prior to the show during the “backstage tour”. Now I’m heading to Bethany, MO for their very first show. Can’t wait!
Karen,
Fun evening in Alex. You used a nifty knife and referred to it earlier in the evening when you chopped up a pepper. Where can you locate this type of knife. Thanks! Kay
Hello Kay,
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the show last night! I had a great time, too.
The knife I mentioned during the show is a Santoku knife — the one with a scalloped pattern on the blade that keeps food from sticking to the knife as you are chopping. I’m seeing them at on-line retailers, kitchen equipment shops and even the large discount retailers. I hope this helps! — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
I’m back home from Bethany, MO. They hosted their first Taste of Home Cooking School last night. The community really rallied around the event and made it such a fun night! I look forward to resting up over the weekend and then heading to Beloit, WI! — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Karen:
I had just come into town to spend time with my Mom( I live in GA now) and there was as ad for the show in the local paper. I had always wanted to go, so I gathered up my Mom and mother inlaw. We were at the Alexandria show and had a wonderful time! Thanks so much for making the show a delightful and fun night. I can’t wait for the next time I’m able to go.
Lorraine, I’m so glad you, your mom, and mother-in-law enjoyed the show in Alexandria! I had such a great time, too. What a fun audience. I hope to see you again at a future show! — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Karen,
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening in Bethany. We truely enjoyed ourselves. You did a great job. You kept us entertained with your great sense of humor. I enjoyed getting the VIP booth ready for the show & gathering the volunteers. Hope to see you again back in Bethany.
Janie
Janie,
THANK YOU so much, Janie! It was such a pleasure to meet you in Bethany. I appreciate all your work on the VIP booth. Your homemade Taste of Home appetizers made it extra special! I also appreciate you gathering assistants to help with the food preparation for the show. The ladies did a wonderful job. I hope this is the first of many future cooking schools in Bethany! — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
I am back home after a great week of cooking schools in Middleton, WI and Riverside, IA. So much fun! It will be nice to spend a little time at home to spoil my husband with some home-cooked meals.

Thanks for coming to Sioux City!!!! Aaron is still on cloud nine from meeting you after the show! Now the hard part for him…deciding which magazine is his! Oh yeah..he’s planning to wear the t-shirt that was tossed into the crowd tomorrow to school! Hope the trip to your home neck of the woods was uneventful!
Melissa –
Thanks so much for taking time to post a comment. It was great to meet you and Aaron! I am thrilled to hear he enjoyed the show. I hope he enjoys the magazine and has fun experimenting with the new recipes.
I made it home safe and sound. It was great to have lunch with my husband today. Now, I’m in the Kansas City area getting ready for a show in Lee’s Summit Thursday night.
I hope our paths cross again at another Taste of Home Cooking School!

Georgia,
Thanks so much for your message. I’m glad you had fun at the cooking school — it makes my day! It’s great to hear that the Easy Lasagna Skillet went over well for lunch. My husband loves that one, too. I hope to see you again sometime at a future cooking school. Take care!

I really enjoyed your school at Marshalltown, Iowa last week. I also was the lucky one that won the Beef Wellington and it was wonderful. My husband and I had two meals out of it. That was the second show I have been too and have picked up tips at both of them. Thanks so much.
Hi Ann – Thank you so much for your message! I am thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Beef Wellington. I finished up my travel for the cooking school and went right into preparing for the holidays. I think we’re all ready to go now, so I’m looking forward to actually relaxing and enjoying it all during the next week. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! I hope to see you at another cooking school in the future. — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Hi, Karen. I hear that you will be the TOH representative presenting at the cooking school in Jefferson City, MO, on April 26. I’m a field editor from Missouri who is passionate about both home-style cooking and Taste of Home. I’ve had the privilege of working behind the scenes at the cooking schools in Jefferson City, Owensville, and Sedalia and hope to have the opportunity to work with you this year. Traditionally, the organization I work for, Missouri Farm Bureau has traded out a sponsorship in return for a crew of people to work behind the scenes in the kitchen on the day of the show and also for the show that evening.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and hope you won’t hesitate to call on me if there is any way I can assist you when you come to Jefferson City or other central Missouri venues. If you need a reference, you might check with Chef Guy or Chef Jamie, I’ve worked with both of them and we developed a great rapport.
I look forward to meeting you on April 26!

Hi Debbie,
I’ve been enjoying exchanging e-mails with you over the past few weeks. I can’t wait for the cooking school in Jefferson City! It’s going to be another great event. I will be sure to pass along your greetings to Guy and Jamie. They are both wonderful people to work with and such talented presenters!
See you next month! And, thank you for coordinating the food assistants for the show. I appreciate all your work on that!
Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Oh Karen you will LOVE working with Debbie! At my last show I asked her speak (without much notice) to the audience about the role of a TOH Field Editor and she gave a terrific summary of her role. She is a great Filed Editor and so passionate about TOH.
Have fun!!!!
We had a wonderful cooking school in Fargo, ND on Saturday! Thank you to everyone at Froggy 99.9, 107.9 The Fox, and FM 105.1 for being our hosts. And, a big thanks to the food assistants, the staff at the Ramada Plaza Suites in Fargo, and Dustin at Happy Harry’s Bottle Shops for making the event a great success. See you next year!

Thanks so much, Danielle. I appreciate you coming to the show and taking time to stop by the blog and post a comment. It means a lot to me! Have a great weekend!
Loved the Taste of Home Cooking School in Grand Blanc. You did a great job! I really thought the recipes you chose were ones that I would try myself. I was one of the fortunate ones that won the prepared dishes. We loved the Asparagus strudel ! Your presentation was perfect ! Hope you put us on your calendar for next year too !

I just returned home from some meetings in Wisconsin for Taste of Home. So, I was checking in on the blog and spotted your kind message. Thank you so much. It truly makes my day!

Karen…just fixed the Johnsonville meatballs that I did for Thursday’s show in Flint for my family! They were a hit! Everybody had such great things to say about the show, and about you. You were a joy to work with, and I had a blast. Thank you so much and have safe travels.
Thank you so much, Stephanie! I’m thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the meatballs. And, thanks so much for your kind comments about the show. I really enjoyed working with you. Good luck with your new position. You have the ideal personality for it, and I just know you will be awesome!

This evening my sister-in-law, my niece and I attended the Taste of Home Cooking School in Eau Claire, WI this evening and thoroughly enjoyed the show, loved all of the recipes and the fun and cooking tips, but the best part of the show is Karen. No matter what happened (a missing skillet and a few misplaced ingredients, etc., she never got flustered and just carried on as if it were no big deal. She is probably the most personable and poised culinary leader that you have. Keep her coming back to Eau Claire. We loved her!!
Thank you, Jean! It is so nice of you to take time to post a message. I had a wonderful time in Eau Claire – what a great audience. And, finding your message here on the blog truly made my night! I really appreciate your kind words.
) I hope to see you at another cooking school in the future! — Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Was just at the Eau Claire, WI show, very great. It was fun to see the members of the audience compete for prizes. I also liked that they gave out the gifts all thru the show and not just at intermission and at the end. Karen kept the show going not matter what. She was such a good egg! Thanks for a fun night.
Thank you, Susan! I’m thrilled to hear you had fun at the cooking school tonight. I had a wonderful time, too. It is so helpful to hear your feedback about the door prizes and the activities we did throughout the evening. I really appreciate you taking time to leave a comment on the blog. It puts a smile on my face.
) I hope I’ll get to see you at another cooking school in the future. Take care! Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Loved your show in Eau Claire tonite. Can’t wait to try the recipes you demo’d tonite, especially the Italian potato salad. Would loved to have won one of the fabulous prizes. The TOH grater and the Baking Cookbook particularly caught my eye. Looking forward already to the next TOH Cooking Scool. From one Iowan to another – great job!
Hi Sue,
) Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Thank you so much for taking time to post a comment. I’m excited to hear you enjoyed the cooking school last night! I had a wonderful time in Eau Claire. I’m getting ready to hit the road this morning and head home to Iowa for the weekend. It was extra special to have some fellow Iowans (like you!) in the audience. I hope to see you again at another cooking school in the future. Have a great weekend!
Hi Karen, I really liked the Taste Of Home Cooking Show in Eau Claire, this was my first time to this type of show and you were great. Liked the foods you cooked and the great sense of humor you have and the way you explained everything and the cooking tip were super! Hope you will be in Eau Claire next year as I plan on going. Thanks again and happy cooking.
Betty,
Thank you so much for your kind note! I appreciate you taking time to stop by the blog and post a comment. And, I’m excited to hear you enjoyed the cooking school! Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to see you at another Taste of Home Cooking School in the future. Take care and happy cooking!

Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Had a wonderful time at the cooking show last night. It absolutely drove me crazy that you didn’t use a rubber scraper as you added the ingredients to be mixed. So much was left in the bowls. Thank you for the cookbook I won!
Lorraine,
) I know how it goes when you notice something like that and it gets on your nerves. I will be sure to pull out my spatula and get every last drop! I’m excited to hear you enjoyed the show, and congratulations on the cookbook. Take care!
Uh ooh – sorry about that Lorraine.
Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
Hi Karen! Had a great time last night at the show! Was my first although my daughter and mom have been to others. I get so many great ideas from Taste of Home to use in my job as a meal planner for a local agency! Love them since they are so easy! Love the tips you gave! I’m already planning to come back next year and hope to be able to bring a couple of my residents along =)
Paula,
Thank you so much for your kind message! It puts a smile on my face.
I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cooking school and took away some new ideas for your work. I hope to meet you at a future show. And, it would be wonderful to meet some of your residents, too. Take care!
Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
I am always looking for new cooking information so while visiting Fort Dodge from Tampa, Florida I attended the show last night with my sister and our friend Donna. It was a great show and I learned some new techniques. I too am an Iowa farm girl at heart so enjoyed your stories.
Diane –
Thank you so much for taking time to visit the blog and write a message! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the show. It’s a nice time to visit Iowa from Florida since we are having some warm weather here! I’m glad to know you picked up some cooking tips that will be helpful for you. Have fun with the recipes! And, say “hello” to your sister and Donna, too.

I just cooked a half pound of bacon in the oven. It worked GREAT! and so easy and perfectly done. I can store it in the freezer and it will be quick to use for breakfast and ALOT cheaper than buying the pre-cooked version in the store. People think food is expensive but so many things are partially cooked or prepared. If you ‘cook from scratch’ you can save alot of money. My 4-H days taught me alot about advanced preparation
Lorraine – Yeah! I’m so glad you had luck with your bacon. I really like using that method. And, I agree that cooking your own bacon and storing for later is easy and a money saver. Thanks for taking time to post a message and letting me know how it turned out. Have a great weekend!
Karen Davis, Culinary Specialist, Taste of Home Cooking School
I attended the Fort Dodge, Iowa Taste of Home Cooking School. This was the second show I attended. I enjoyed the show and learned alot–Thank You! I can’t wait for the next show here in Fort Dodge (I hope you,Karen Davis, will do the future shows here). I collect cookbooks and my favorite ones are Taste Of Home and I love the magazine as well! Thanks again for a fun time!!
Nancie,
And, I agree that the Taste of Home cookbooks are great – I have a cupboard full here at our house. Have a nice weekend. Hopefully I’ll see you again next year!
I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cooking school in Fort Dodge. It puts a smile on my face to read your message!

It was my FIRST cooking show (in Eau Claire, WI), I enjoyed everyminute of it!! Just wish I could have won a prize.
Alice,
I hope to see you again at another cooking school in the future!
I’m so excited to hear you attended your first Taste of Home Cooking School in Eau Claire – and that you had a fun time!! I had a great night, too. I know what you mean about not winning a prize. Sometimes I feel the same way, especially after I see the beautiful serving dishes and cookbooks.
