Once proprietor of the beloved and groundbreaking eatery The Kitchen in Woodstock, she now spends her energy creating and developing menus for restaurants and hotels around South Africa.

This is where she creates entirely new recipes and tweaks old favourites into delicious new variations. People who are lucky or clever enough to get their hands on a Karen Dudley cookbook can then join Karen on her mission to make food that is more delicious, stylish and doable. Karen has a dedicated following of cooks using and sharing her range of flavours and tastes… With this new book, we take our community Upwards to the next level.
