Aha! Cuisine: Kind Words from Clients

4-Guest Week of Dinners for Post Surgery Convalescing                                                                                                          Jenny, that dinner was wonderful! Better than any dinner I can remember at a restaurant, the chicken was perfectly cooked, the braised onions were delicious, the sliced peas with lemon were bright and delicate, and the tart was outstanding. We all agreed to have more with breakfast this morning. With the light rice and salad, it was the perfect dinner for the first day home. What a treat after a difficult week. Thanks so much!

16-Guest Dinner Party
Jenny did a fabulous job with a dinner party for 16 in our home. From our initial conversation about the dinner to arranging the menu, preparing the meal, and cleaning up my kitchen – Jenny was discreet, professional, and courteous. The dinner, from hors d’oeuvres through dessert, was just what I had hoped for – fresh, healthy, and delicious. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our guests. Thank you, Jenny!

14-Guest 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration
Jenny helped us with a dinner party celebration when my extended family converged in Charlottesville for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. Jenny was imaginative and efficient with the menu options, and totally accepting of our dietary issues — even the vagaries of the under-sevens eating habits. The meal was the perfect combination of fancy and casual, both in the food and in the tone created. Highly recommended.

10-Guest Engagement Celebration Dinner Party

Jenny, I want to thank you once again for the lovely dinner that you created. I know all the girls had a wonderful time. I appreciate that you were extremely flexible with the dinner menu and all the dietary restrictions. It was a great experience overall. The food was so delicious, especially the Whipped Sweet Potatoes. The girls want that recipe! Thanks again, Jenny
