"Chef Mel,
Thank you so much for the wonderful Birthday Dinner you cooked for me this year. What a treat to have your Grilled Pork Chops with Orange Sweet Potatoes, Spicy Green Beans and Salad. The pork chops were tender and cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was divine! As always, your salad and green beans were a taste of heaven. The sweet potatoes were an unexpected treat! I normally love them but these went way beyond my expectations. You are always my first choice when I think of having a special meal."

"Chef Mel prepared a recent Christmas dinner and I would recommend her services to anyone!  She prepared a ham that was so tender and moist with a delicious chutney.  She also made an incredible spinach and strawberry salad.  Chef Mel expertly prepared every dish to complement one another and satisfy the diversified tastes of my family.  Chef Mel met our dining/entertaining needs perfectly, with a dinner party that was causal with a touch of elegance. And of course, very tasty!! "

"We were given a treat by our daughter for our anniversary, dinner prepared by Chef Mel.  She prepared a fantastic meal, of Tomato Bruschetta, Spinach Strawberry Salad, Slow Roasted Pork with Homemade Sauerkraut and Orange Mashed Sweet Potatoes, things we had not had before.  Everything was great, including the wine.
 
We have never been treated so well.  It was so nice to be able to have everything served so well and it all tasted so good.  I would recommend Chef Mel to anyone wanting something special for any occasion.  Chef Mel was fantastic.  Thank you Chef Mel."

"Hi Chef Mel,
 
Thank you so much for the personal dinner that you did for my parents and me to celebrate Father's Day and their anniversary.  The menu planning was fun and the surprise on their faces when they came into my house and saw you in your chef uniform was priceless.  The menu items were all fabulous from the beautiful presentation to the way they melted in my mouth!  We started with the tomato brushetta which was the best I have ever had and then the strawberry, spinach, walnut salad with your homemade dressing.  My dad who doesn't eat many vegetables ate every bit and my mom could have lived on those 2 dishes alone except the next dish contained one of her favorites....sauerkraut!  The pork roast and sweet potato mashed potatoes were phenomenal - I have to get the recipe. 
 
Thank you for making it such a special occasion for them and for doing a keepsake menu for them on beautiful paper.  They loved every bit of it and I loved having you in my home!  I can't wait to do this for more friends as well.
 
Thanks again!
Deb"
