"Your food is INCREDIBLE! I'm so grateful that I can eat everything. What a delight that almost everything is dairy-free. If you had a cookbook, I would buy it! I look forward to our meals everyday! Thank you!" |
"Thank you so much for your delicious food - I'm not usually a "foodie" and so the amount of pleasure your meals gave me was a REAL testimony to your culinary skills." |
