Interview with Spike O'Dell for WGN Radio
"Very cool!" 

"Talk to me and make my mouth water" and of course, "Mmmmmmmmmmm"

"This Cranberry Chicken is amazing!"

Interview with Carolyn McConnell, writer for The Other Side of the Lake and The Beacher

"I really don't know where you get the energy!"

"I can't believe all the beautiful creations in this shop! Where do you get your ideas?"

"It's easy to see this woman really does love to cook".

"Interesting, all the countless prep details are professional, speedy and thorough."

"Wouldn't it be lovely to have your very own chef in your very own kitchen?"

"When she walks out of the spotless kitchen, she often leaves a surprise gift, such as her widely admired key lime pie or delicate round-of-scones".

"All with no grocery shopping, no produce to wash, no utensils to soak, no pots and pans to scour? There is a way."
