Thank you so much for last night. Everyone thought the food was really great, and you made the whole evening easy to enjoy! I will certainly be happy to refer people to you.
Best, Patty (Formal birthday dinner party for 21 May 2012 in Wallingford,CT) Val, Just wanted to tell you thank you again for a spectacular evening! I think I enjoyed myself more than anyone, never having relaxed in my own home before while being served a truly gourmet meal. ...It was heavenly! And my spotless kitchen afterward was a big bonus as well! The meal was delicious in every way and the kids and my husband are still raving about it...I just hope they are not expecting me to raise my simple standards now and try to follow suit!! Thank you for making my 40th anniversary gift truly special. You and your crew did an incredible job! Fondly, Kathy Gardner (Anniversary dinner for 6. Trumbull, CT. March 2012) Hi Valerie and Erica, Just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing dinner and experience for our "personal chef" dinner on Saturday night. It was perfect. It was everything I could have hoped for. I appreciate your attention to detail, professionalism, friendliness and AMAZING food. The leftovers tonight were just as good!
I feel very blessed to have found you to assist in helping make my Valentine dinner special this year considering my inability to do much of anything because of my surgery. Thank you so very much again.

Hi Valerie,
I just wanted to thank you again for the lovely meal you prepared for our family last weekend. Everything was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience of having our own personal chef for the evening! You helped make my father in law's 75th birthday an extremely special memory.
Thanks again!

So excited to share our catering experience that you and your wonderful staff brought to our daughters wedding. Every woman wants her wedding day to be a memory that they will never forget and in order for that to happen things need to fall in place easily, and you and your staff sure made that happened!
Luckily I knew Val and had tasted her wonderful cooking at a High School Reunion last year. So the plans to hire her began and she was so easy to work with. Our oldest daughter came up with the menu as she is also a chef. She and Val worked closely together and came up with the perfect food working with the Bride and Groom’s favorites. Val and her crew were a pleasure and worked in our home with the utmost professionalism and respect. All of Val's dishes had a perfect blend of seasonings and sauces. I could not get over the presentation of everything! Her staff served with a great sense of ease and the guests still continue to rave about the food. I can not count how many people said it was the best food they were ever served at a wedding! I would never consider using another caterer for any event. Val Thank-You so much. I still think about that day as the occasion did not just turn out good, It was PERFECT thanks to you, your staff and the wonderful food that was served!
I do hope, Val that you post the menu as it was not your usual wedding food and it just goes to show the talent you possess. Again people who attended the wedding still remark to me what wonderful food, service-the best they have ever had and I agree. Thanks for making our daughter’s day, a day we all remember with fondest memories Maureen (Bristol)

Val,
The crepes are just delicious. The sauce is perfection.
Love garlic and lemon. I can't believe I was eating this
perfect meal at my kitchen table! I'm already thinking of
trying to make the sauce myself when I run out (already worrying
about running out!) Thanks for your culinary services and for
the big smile on my face whenever I open my freezer!

“Val Sorensen and Dr. Susan Rzucidlo of Healthy Delights made the opening of my art show a sheer delight! My guests and friends kept repeating “this food is unbelievable…so delicious!” The two women were as gracious and lovely, as they were professional. My guests form Boston, New York, and East Hampton all feasted on the food and were asking me if Healthy Delights were available to work for them.”

Hi Val,
I just wanted you to know that I have tried all 5 meals and they have been
delicious. It's nice to come out to a home cooked meal. It really is working
out very nicely. Plus, I have lost 5 pounds since it helps me with portion
control!![]()

devoured it and kept saying this was the "best" dinner and they felt like they were in the best restaurant!"
