Dear Cali:
It’s hard to describe what a great time
the whole group had on Saturday.
Your food and presentation was outstanding
and helped to make the evening so special.
I really can’t think of how it could have gone
any better. Looking forward to doing more in
the future. Thanks so much for a wonderful
evening and for making my 50th birthday
an evening one I will always remember!

 Dear Cali: On behalf of the Barrington Junior Women’s Club, thank you for being part of our Bistro Night at Pinstripes. Your kind donation was a large part of our success for the evening. As you know, the focus of our event this year was domestic violence. Your generous support of our organization allows us to help WINGS and the Cynthia L. Bischof Memorial Foundation as well as many local area non-for-profit organizations that depend upon us each year for financial assistance. Please know that BJWC appreciates all that you have done to contribute to this event and realizes that we could not have achieved this success without the support of community members such as yourself. Thank you for all that you do!

The party was a huge success
and the beautiful food was a big part of it.
Cali, thank you so much for doing
such an amazing job.
– Joan and Alex

We really enjoyed your cooking Saturday night.
I have received nothing but raves from our guests. Thank you
so much for taking such good care of us!
– Robert and Cathi Parks

My daughter and I took your pasta class a few weeks ago and
I can’t begin to tell you how great it was!
The following day, I bought a pasta
machine and have made the same recipe several times–
it always comes out perfect!
Thanks again for an enjoyable and truly productive class.
– Kathy Harris

Everything was outstanding !!!
You did a fabulous job for our catered dinner
and cooking class event.
I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was
and how all the girls came in to work
on Friday and just raved. The food was fantastic.
I can’t say enough about how great an evening everyone had.
I wish you many years of success.
– Sara Nulle, Wells Mfg Co.

We loved having you cater our dinner!
Everything was perfect, everyone loved all the food.
I think I could live on the bacon wrapped dates—yum!
– Susan and Jay Saltzman

 Hi Cali! …if you’re not already tired of hearing again and again how amazing the food was last Sunday: The Food Was Amazing last Sunday!!! These are the photos I snapped before the wedding guests swarmed and devoured. I heard again and again “this is best food I’ve ever had.” We couldn’t stop talking about it, we still are, and shall do so for quite some time! Thank you again, and if you have any need for these photos (website, etc), help yourself!
