“Just wanted to mention that the big hits were the paella, and especially the seafood salad. That salad is as close to Cirella's seafood salad as you can get and everyone loved it!  Both Tom and my brother would not believe me when I said that the marble cheesecake was lowfat - even though I showed them the ingredients on the receipt - because it tasted way too good.  Of course that dessert did not last at all.  The Tofu Carrot Ginger dressing was delicious!  That is a keeper too! What I like best about this service is that it is minimally inconvenient – the shopping, cooking and cleaning up is all taken care of by Chef Lia. And, I love the fact that all the meals are fresh and packaged well!” – Paula L.

The last recipe she gave me was for a Dip made with Brie cheese and nuts, it was fabulous. – Diane S.
