"Thank you, Ellie. You and Cooper are a great team. The food was SPECTACULAR!!! And as usual you make it all look so easy. But I know full well it is a massive amount of work. We so appreciate all the help. Still dreaming about that French toast and those espresso brownies."

"Ellie - I just wanted to thank you again for the amazing catering service you provided for our party last night. I truly have never had such a fun time at my own party and of course that was all due to you. You are such a calm and easy person to be around and the food was just over-the-top wonderful. We had so many people remark on it. And we are getting ready to eat it again tonight for dinner! We can’t wait :-) so, thank you, thank you for all you did to make it such a fun evening. We so appreciate it!!!"

“With two young kids and a third on the way, finding the time and the energy to make healthy and delicious food was next to impossible. Once we hired Ellie the grocery shopping, menu planning and execution were all taken off of our plate. Her food is outstanding and she works with any requests that you throw her way. Ellie was a lifesaver for our family!”

“The meal that you prepared for us was simply fantastic – my wife and I could have not asked for more to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was fresh and your menu complimented all of the individual parts perfectly. Thank you so much for your time and everything you did to help us celebrate our special day. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Ellie, it was such a pleasure to have you here for our dinner party. Your ears must have been burning because everybody loved the entire meal and they would like recipes for the soup, spinach soubise, salmon strudel, and panna cotta! Your food was wonderful as was your presence! I appreciate so much everything you did, from the dinner itself to all of the numerous little things you did to help that weren’t about your dinner, but about the evening.”
