Chef Mel has been with our family for over 6 years and even though our two boys are away at college now we still rely on her for customized meals and quality shopping. Our oldest son always has his favorite requests for her whenever he is home: pork tenderloin with bacon onion jam, shrimp and pork siu mai dumplings and beef stroganoff. Mel is honest, reliable and a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend her services!
