I don't have to worry or think about cooking and that has been a lifesaver. Eating healthy food was my top priority, but there's no way I could have managed it on my own without her. She makes warm, easy-to-digest meals, which is so important when your body and digestion are still recovering after giving birth. She's also really lovely to have around--easy to chat with for a few minutes while my husband and I are busy with the baby. My favorites so far have been her chicken soup and different warm dishes with meatballs, but honestly everything has been so good. And this isn't something she has to do, but my kitchen always looks a little cleaner after she leaves, which feels like such an unexpected bonus. I'll be recommending her to all my friends who have babies in her service area. She's amazing, and I'm so grateful for her support!

I highly highly recommend Chef Guillemette to cook for your family, postpartum or any other time…read more She has come over several times to cook meals for us during the early newborn months. Her cooking is incredibly delicious and nutritious. It felt so cozy and nourishing especially during the postpartum period when I felt so hungry all the time and there wasn't any time to cook! She is very professional, prompt, and very easy to work with as she customizes a set of meals for your family, prepares it, and then leaves your kitchen spotless after. Your kitchen/house will smell like a restaurant! She uses quality organic ingredients and cooks almost everything from scratch. She accommodates dietary restrictions well and incorporates plenty of vibrant vegetables into every dish. Her dishes introduced our family to new flavors and every dish was exciting and fun to try! So much better than takeout and much healthier for your body. She also put together a session to help us learn how to pack healthy lunches for our kids and that was so useful! She is very knowledgeable, incredibly talented, and compassionate. Treat yourself (or a loved one) to a visit from Chef Guillemette and you will feel very cared for!

Chef Lucas was beyond exceptional in planning and organizing the three course meal for the event. He created a personalized menu which made it that much more memorable!!

I spoke with Chef Dui and shared the concept I had in mind for the event. He was incredibly flexible with my requests, understood my vision, and provided the invoice right away, which made the planning process so easy. Then came the day of the event and absolutely delivered! Everything we discussed and everything I envisioned was brought to life and honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. The DIY Vietnamese Noodle Bar was a huge hit. Everyone kept raving about how delicious the food was, and it was so rewarding to see people enjoying something I had envisioned for the event. To top it all off, the catering team was incredibly kind, accommodating, and professional. As we all know, great food and great service go hand in hand, and D-D Delight nailed both. The food was exceptionally well executed. The beef was perfectly seasoned and tender (not chewy at all!!) and had that wonderful smoky flavor from the char. The chicken was also beautifully seasoned with a nice lemongrass flavor that really came through. I heard so many great things about the grilled shrimp as well. I initially thought the tofu might be bland but I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and delicious it turned out. Not to mention, they also had a vegan version of the Nuoc Cham for our vegetarian guests! Every component was thoughtfully prepared, and the entire experience, from planning to execution, was fantastic. Kudos to Chef Dui and the entire D-D Delight team! You guys did an amazing job, and we will definitely be hiring you again for our next event. Highly recommended!
