Wonderful day

Mary_H, Sep 2024

Monica is a treat! Great fun, knowledgeable, generous. Even though the market wasn’t open we went to a local grocery and found all that we needed. Would love to spend another day with her!

Silvia’s cooking

Shirley_L, Jun 2024

Silvia was a pleasure and it is apparent that she is a host who loves what she does. Her knowledge of food and how ingredients work together is unique and special. She also catered to my requests of food restrictions and made considerate choices to make sure I would still enjoy our meal. The host was responsive, warm, and made it a beautiful and memorable experience for us. Thank you, Silvia!
