What one of her recent customers said
Awesome! No other way to describe the dinner prepared and served for my wife’s 65th birthday. There were 6 guests, including one vegetarian, to enjoy the celebration. Meg embraced the occasion with a three-course meal, including a main course of baked Alaskan salmon, roasted asparagus and loaded mashed potatoes and culminated with a knockout dessert of freshly made donuts with blueberry lavender glaze. A ratatouille was prepared for our vegetarian. Meg also presented a special personalized treat for the birthday girl. Everyone commented on how good the food was – all plates went back picked clean! Meg was friendly and professional. Prior to the event we had several communications to finalize the menu and logistics. She offered many options which resulted in a sensational meal. She arrived at our house right on time and after a brief overview of the kitchen and dinner she went right to work. Her confidence was immediately evident which was reassuring as I had never done anything like this before. The dinner was served at the designated time and all three courses were delivered flawlessly. Meg was pleasantly interactive with everyone, answered questions about the food/cooking, and easily fit into our family setting and the celebration. At the end – our kitchen was meticulously cleaned – it was almost like Chef Meg was never there.
To have a wonderful meal in the comfort of home and not worrying about the preparation, cooking and cleanup allowed our family to have hours of precious time together that seems so hard to come by in the busy world of today.
