"Imagine a meal like this for your guests:  Chilled Gazpacho with Avocado; Arugula and Strawberry Salad; Teriyaki Poached Salmon; Baby Potatoes, Haricot Verts and Cherry Tomato Salad; Sugar Snap Peas and Barley with a Sesame Ginger Dressing; Moscato Granita, Light as Air Lime Pie with an Oatmeal Crust, and Chocolate Zucchini Cake.
 
Imagine that you simply arrive for dinner in your own house with this served to the delectation of your guests--rested and ready to welcome them. It doesn't get any better than this!
 
April Lee is a truly amazing chef and an unusually fine person.  She helps devise menu plans for one's family or for guests, with joy and openness and generosity of spirit. She is utterly professional and reliable.  Food in her hands is as enjoyable as it is ideally meant to be .  From a fancy feast to comfort food, she covers the gamut effortlessly.  We cannot recommend her highly enough."

"April, I want to thank you for working with me to pull off the cooking demonstration for my aunt's bridal shower. Everyone loved the food which you selected and the fact that you were there to educate them on preparing the food they were being served (even the executive chef in the crowd was impressed).  Having you prepare and shop for all the food really took a ton of work off of me. This allowed me to focus on decorating and the other pre-party activities (i.e. having a cocktail!). You have been wonderful and easy to work with and I will be calling you the next time I have an event!
Thanks again!!"

- Nicole S., Baltimore, MD

"We hired April for a large dinner party and not only was the food incredible, we did not have to do anything!  No shopping, cleaning, or preparation.  April left before the guests arrived with the kitchen clean and everything ready to serve on time. She met all of our expectations and more!"

- Nancy and Jim S., Ellicott City, MD

"Not only is the food prepared by April delicious, but the range of what she does with food never ceases to amaze us and delight our palates. She provides dishes from various international cuisines and can tailor dishes to respect allergies and other special diets without sacrificing taste. Even if something you want isn't on her menu list, she can often prepare what you want. She just can't list everything in her repertoire!"

- Tom and Marjorie S., Columbia, MD

"There is something about the food April prepares that makes each dish you sample so special that you just don't want to stop eating! She can serve up excellent Chinese dishes such as unbelievable lo mein, as well as good old fashioned American food. Two of our favorites, Southwestern Butternut Squash Soup and Barbecued Ribs are out of this world! Moreover, she is happy to use your favorite recipes, if you prefer. She is, by far, the best personal chef we've had."

- Fred and Bobbie B., Glenwood, MD

"April made the best jambalaya I've ever eaten. I thought I'd died and went to New Orleans! And my brother-in-law fell on her beef stew like a starving man! I've never known anyone with such a passion for making
delicious food."

- Carol Z., Randallstown, MD

"Everything I have ever eaten that was prepared by Chef April has left me delightfully satisfied - her meals inspire one word: 'Mmmmmm!!!'"

"April prepared food for an 80th birthday party for us and did a fabulous job. She made the most delicious hors d-oeuvres and all the guests (90+) raved about them. She provided very professional service and attended to every detail, making it possible for us to enjoy every minute of the party without feeling stressed as hosts. We will definitely use her services again
in the future."

- Jim and Allison P., Glenwood, MD

"My favorite day is the day that Chef April comes to cook for us! To open the front door and smell all the delicious meals she's been making all day is great, but it's even better to open the refrigerator and see all our favorite dishes waiting for us!"

"Quick, easy and SceeRUMPTIOUS! For folks too tired or rushed to make dinner, or who live alone and are bored with cooking for just one, Chef April provides a bountiful list of prepared meals to save you from the stress of making dinner. Her meals are easily warmed in the oven or microwave, just the right amount, and DEElicious. She creates a week's worth of meals at YOUR house - and that means shopping for the ingredients, too, and preparing them for the freezer. So kitchen stress is a thing of the past and you're set to enjoy a real treat. And if you're planning a small dinner party, call Chef April. She will prepare a memorable treat right in your kitchen. You'll love relaxing at your own dinner. I do."
