This review is coming in a little late; however, I can’t say enough good about Simple Delights. From beginning to end, everything was fabulous! They were so easy to work with and so accommodating to any and all allergy concerns. The food was fantastic and they were fantastic. Fun, sweet and made my guests feel special and so helpful. I would recommend them highly!!!! I would give 20 stars if I could!

We had the pleasure of Donna, and her assistant, Kim, coming over and teaching a cooking class for a joint birthday party. Donna helped curate a delicious menu of beef tenderloin, roasted broccoli, and risotto that allowed people of all culinary experience levels to meaningfully participate and learn. The experience couldn’t have been any better! Thanks again, Donna and Kim!

Everything from introducing herself, to getting our menu ready, to the actual dinner day from start to finish was exceptional service!!! She made us feel so special and took her time catering to us. We could barely hold a conversation during dinner because her food was so good! We will definitely be using get again for everything!!

Donna was professional, pleasant and energetic. We loved all the dishes she cooked! Her lamb and salmon were a big hit even with some guests who were not expected to venture outside of traditional chicken/beef dishes! She came a couple of hours early to set everything up to our satisfaction and made sure everything was clean before she left. Looking forward to hiring her team again for our next catered party. I highly recommend Donna without any reservations!

My wife and I absolutely love Donna and her team. We weren’t sure where to start having never booked a chef before, but knew that Donna was the one after our first conversation. We absolutely adored her willingness to please, and her incomparable quality of food. Our wedding dinner was a gift from us to our friends, 14 total, and Donna just did not miss a beat. Everything was absolutely delicious! I’d recommend ‘Simple Delights’ a dozen times over - you’d be pleased to have her!
