This gourmet knows her stuff! We had Mary Ellen cater our company holiday party and every dish was awesome. We had meatballs with chipotle dipping sauce, deviled eggs like you’ve never had before, chicken sate with cilantro sauce (incredible!), crostini with tapenade, and she even baked us cookies… some of the best cookies we’ve ever had. When she says that she is Cordon Bleu trained I think she should say that she trained them! I highly recommend Mary Ellen Rae for your party. And I also hear she does cooking classes.

I just want to thank you once again for a superb evening Saturday night. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and very much enjoyed. You and your lovely staff was wonderful, and we could not be more pleased. Yesterday we received quite a few calls and thank- you e-mails from the Guests and every one of them mentioned the food! I’m certain that with your reputation you aren’t often asked for references, but please feel free to give out our number for a singing, shining, over-the-top, gushing recommendation!

“Hi, Chef Mary Ellen!
How GREAT to talk with you! I LOVED how you picked the recipe apart! The show was so much different this way and I just had a BLAST! I do hope that you will consider being on the show again in the future. We have some dynamite chefs and it would be interesting to hear what you have to say about their recipes, as well. I know they’ll have more time than I did, though. ha!! Again, thank you so much and I hope we can do this again soon.”
Best!

“I’m not very comfortable in the kitchen, but the cooking class with Chef Mary Ellen made me feel like I knew what I was doing. She works with whatever skills you have and provides helpful instructions and techniques to become more competent…and makes it a fun experience! Since my cooking class, I’ve begun to cook more often and have become more adventurous, using her recipes, her tips and her tricks -of-the –trade.”
