Hi Monica
OOh OOh Wow Wow
What a delight when I got home last night at 7:30. My husband had cooked veggies with 2 of the sauces and he was munching away on the falafel and smiling. I had a small taste of the hummus. Everything is so so good.

If you ever want to run away from home, you can come and live with us!! I bet you hear that a lot.

We look forward to many more return visits.

Monica!
We cannot thank you enough for the most divine food ever.  Everything was so very delicious, and amidst the busy week of transition and moving, it was wonderful to be able to eat savory and gourmet food for nourishment.  You are unbelievable and the generosity is so appreciated.  Truly, thank you so very much for your time and care in preparing and delivering the incredible meals.

Dear Monica,
So, I have this wicked day, and all day long I keep thinking about the wonderful dinner I am coming home to...and then my day gets worse, and I don’t get home until late, and there it is, Monica’s awesome food! I can’t tell you how great it was. Thanks so much! You are awesome!

Small Event Catering – From a small dinner party to 50 people, I receive rave reviews for handling all of the details to prepare a delicious feast while you enjoy your guests. Please call for a consultation.

The single best decision I made in planning my husband's 60th birthday was hiring Monica Sallouti to do the catering. Early on she came up with some great menu ideas and was very flexible in making changes to match our tastes. The morning of the big day, she showed up right on time with many of the items pre-prepared. She was very respectful of our kitchen in doing the on-site work, neat and clean in everything she did. I was delighted to turn over the table-scape to Monica, and it was even more beautiful than I anticipated.

Mostly, however, I was so pleased by the way the food tasted. Healthy, nutritious, beautiful and tasty … that's quite a feat, and Monica pulled it off with great panache. Our guests were delighted, and they kept coming back to the table again and again. And her planning of food-per-person turned out to be right on target.

I would gladly hire Monica again … and again. It was a not-to-worry event from top to bottom. So I just sat back and enjoyed the fun.

Wow, Monica, you really spoiled our poker group by cooking for us. That chili was delicious, and the guys are still talking about your brownies! Well done.
