Dinner for TEN What a spread! With four couples who came to our home expecting dinner and drinks. They were completely bowled over as the hors d 'ouevres were simply incredible mini tea sandwiches with prosciutto and turkey, and mini caramelized onion tarts. For appetizers we had Roasted Onion and Potato Soup garnished with Fried [...]

The food was amazing and the experience of having someone like yourself prepare the food, cook it, clean up and leave the leftovers in the fridge was a real treat for us and our guests. We will [...]
