| What people are saying about life's a feast's home entertaining services: | ||
| “I
wanted to surprise my wife with a dinner party with 6 of
our closest friends for her 60th birthday. Although I am comfortable
cooking on the barbeque, I don't have a lot of experience preparing
a 3-course sit-down meal. I contacted life's a feast who
had been recommended by a friend of mine to discuss my requirements.
Gail created a stunning menu, which thanks to her clear and comprehensive
instructions was surprisingly easy to prepare and coordinate. Our
guests loved the food and were most impressed with my culinary skills,
and my wife could hardly believe that I had done it all myself.
I would never have thought that hosting a dinner party for 8 could
be so easy and so much fun!" Brian Anderson, Noosaville |

| “I
am a very reluctant cook but with the help of life’s
a feast, I was able to produce an impressive three-course dinner
for eight which was extremely well received by all my guests. Gail
made the cooking process lots of fun, giving me a practical hand
where necessary, and I also learnt a lot of cooking tips along the
way. Gail’s instructions were clear and understandable and
she was patient and accommodating throughout - truly a professional!
It was really gratifying to have my guests genuinely thank me for
a lovely meal prepared with thought and care – and I have
Gail to thank for that! I can honestly recommend life’s
a feast as an enjoyable and rewarding experience and I’d
be more than happy to do it again when hosting another dinner party.”

| "Recently
I contacted life’s a feast, to assist with
the organizing of a dinner party for 7 people. Gail came to my home,
advised me on all the processes involved, starting with selection
of menu, taking care to observe any special dietary needs of guests.
This was important as I am a coeliac, and Gail proved extremely
knowledgeable of my special requirements and put together a delightful
menu. On the day she was a wonderful support and I found I learned
many useful hints. The dinner party was a huge success and I received
much praise. It proved to be a fun evening and any pressure on the
host was completely taken away. I would be only too happy to repeat
this occasion as often as possible". Janet Byrne, Runaway Bay |

| "I
had not had people for dinner for over 15 years and am
not a keen cook. I engaged the services of life’s a feast
to assist me, as I felt I lacked the necessary skills and therefore
did not feel confident to host a dinner party. The commitment of life’s a feast is that they leave you completely prepared, confident, relaxed and ready to greet your guests and be with them throughout your dinner party and not in the kitchen. I can honestly say that they completely achieved all their objectives. I was given a complete consultation prior to the event, which gave me all the tools and confidence required to achieve the result that I wanted for the dinner party. On the day, I have never enjoyed myself so much in the kitchen and learnt a lot about food and cooking. To have Gail guiding me through the cooking, table setting, and timing of the preparation made the experience fun and stress-free. When my friends arrived I was relaxed and prepared, and able to enjoy their company. My friends complimented me on the food, ate every morsel and even requested the recipes. You would have thought that I held dinner parties all the time! I now have the confidence and motivation to entertain in the future.” Keri Skeggs, Harbord |

“Having entertained
many friends in the past, I always ended up staying in
the kitchen instead of enjoying the company of my guests. life’s
a feast empowered me with their organizational skills and
helpful hints which made the event not only pleasant and enjoyable
for the guests but also got me into the crowd as well. That was
great!! Their knowledge on sourcing, creating and making it happen
was a delight. Thank you very much." Maria Eyunni, Pyrmont |

“I almost
envy my mother’s generation – cooking wonderful
meals for family and friends that took up most of the day. Sadly
– my life is a veritable rat-race with so much going on
in the corporate world that the few hours I have to spare and
enjoy with family and friends I actually want to spend WITH them
– not stand in a kitchen for hours trying to find creative
inspiration and then stress about whether something new will work
or not. life’s a feast has changed the way I entertain…and
the way I feel about entertaining. No stressful moments scouring
cookbooks looking for something new and no anxious hours before
my guests arrive wondering if it will all work!
A call to life’s a feast,
a visit to discuss the menu and choose something delicious (and
new!), a shopping list to guide me and then on the day of the
lunch – having Gail by my side to work through the entrée,
main course and dessert and have it almost all prepared BEFORE
my guests arrive – MAGIC! Of course the proof really was
in the ‘pudding’! My guests waxed lyrical about
all three courses – stating that their Sunday lunch was
better than their dinner in a well known restaurant the night
before! Life IS a feast – you made it so easy Gail –
and I am so much more adventurous now thanks to you!” For Cooking Class Testimonials click here. |
