"We are considering Isreal next year will you come with us?"
"I could write chapters on Helen, Paul and their splendid team, but my husband summed up the whole experience very succinctly by saying he would happily be 70 all over again just for that one day.
Thank you all for making Daves surprise party seem so effortless and for allowing me the chance to relax and enjoy every single minute.
From our first meeting nothing was too much trouble, even all the extras that I kept throwing in ( cakes etc., ) Fantastic!!!!
Everything surpassed all my expectations, the subtle blend of herbs and spices catering for everyones palate. The food was truly superb and the memories make my mouth water even now.
To my newly adopted family in Spain may you go from strength to strength you really do derserve it."
Very kind regards, Sue Dixon (York UK) March 2008

"I cannot commend 'Your Personal Cook' highly enough. Our move to our newly restored house coincided with the arrival of 14 house guests. Half an hour after the builders left, our guests arrived to the most sumptuous buffet. Everyone was blown away. Then followed 10 days of great food and lots of fun. Every morning, anything anyone wanted to eat was catered for: full English breakfast, piles of steaming pancakes drizzled with maple syrup plus fruit, muffins, cereals and pastries.
Every evening had a theme: Indian, Italian, Mexican, BBQ, traditional English roast... The ingredients were bought, prepared, cooked with the minimum of fuss, and everything was cleared up afterwards. However, this isn't why we chose to work with Helen and Paul, nor is it the reason we continue to work with them on a regular basis. We chose them, because we warmed to them immediately. Helen's warm and sunny personality never fails her, not even at 1am after catering for 20 people, including six children under 10 (for whom she always prepared surprises). This, combined with Paul's dry sense of humor, patience and stellar(??!!) magical capabilities (I'm not going to mention poker lessons), makes for a great team. When they came back to us to cater for an important business dinner two months later, it was as if we were welcoming back much loved members of the family, and you can't say more than that. Spectacular people, amazing service, fabulous food." Kate Irving - Cabopino
" The lobster was fantastic
" Jim Moore - Cabopino .
"Just a line to say thank you so much for finding our chef for us. Her ability to take a good brief and continue to adapt her menus to our tastes was exceptional. Her charming personality made her a delight to have around. If ever I need to employ a chef for another House Party, she would be my first port of call and I cannot recommend her highly enough. " Carol Hook, Painting Holiday Organizer
