Victoria, Thank you for the amazing cooking demonstration for our women’s group. We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to prepare all the tasty and healthy foods you demonstrated along with the advice about the wine pairings. Many of the members have already tried your recipes at home with great success. We had such a good time, we plan to do it again! ~ Cheryl Dulan

Victoria, I thought I would share the comment we received today from our friends. They were very impressed with your cooking… The chicken stew….absolutely delicious…and classically prepared per our friends. We also tried the quinoa casserole, the acorn squash, and the stuffed mushrooms. It was all so very good! My husband of course had the filet and said it was delicious in spite of your dissatisfaction with the result. Not a crumb left on any of our plates! It was a fun way to entertain for me. (the friends said:) It was so much fun to spend the evening with you last night and enjoy the delicious food prepared by Victoria (she is a gem!) ~A Springfield family

It is truly a pleasure to recommend Victoria Cortes as a personal chef to you. We have enjoyed her innovative and healthy recipes for the past eight months without one complaint and intend on continuing to use her skilled service for the foreseeable future.
As busy retirees we love the convenience of having a well-stocked freezer full of good food that is free from unhealthy chemicals within our reach whenever we want anything from a snack to an entire meal.
She consults with us as to our food preferences and helps us select a wide array of entrées and sides that suit our palate at any given time. She has also introduced us to more healthy grains and vegetables than we were used to, and we love her knowledge, skill and ability in the kitchen.
She is a trained professional that will add quality and convenience to your life if you are wise enough to use her service. ~A Dominion Valley Family

Victoria, with only two days notice, helped me plan the most important dinner party of my life. Not only that, she let me collaborate on the menu, we created recipes together, and she worked with the recipes and ingredients that I desired. She prepared an elegant formal dinner for 12 VIPs, and got rave reviews from the guests. And, I enjoyed every second of the party while she and her assistant tended to every detail. Victoria was cheerful and intrepid throughout the whole process. I loved working with her, and highly commend her to you! ~Kimberly Hartke, food blogger

It was a pleasure to work with Victoria Cortes. She was a fountain of creative, original ideas. She thoroughly researched and tested recipes, for example, which fish would be most appropriate for the dish I had chosen. She was good-natured when I changed my mind, and delivered a bravura performance on the big night. The cuisine was delicious. My friends were delighted. I highly recommend her. ~Lara Marlowe, journalist

My sister’s bridal shower could not have been more amazing. It was a highly-organized and sophisticated affair, and it felt great knowing that Victoria incorporated local and seasonal ingredients into the menu. All I had to do was show up and enjoy the party.~Jessica S.

Victoria makes wonderful food – my guests were raving about the tasty salads and wonderful breads – until THE CHOCOLATE CAKE came out! Once everyone had a taste of this divine, rich, creamy chocolate perfection – it was THE topic of conversation until the party’s end. The raspberries were the perfect tart complement to the sweet – WOW! Pamela D.

Victoria did an amazing job gauging the style needed for our bridal shower event. The menu and wine lesson she planned were full of little touches that sparked conversation and made the event memorable. The event was fun and flirty, yet elegant and sophisticated – qualities that matched the personality of our guest of honor!
Hosting a party can be stressful! Yet Victoria was so calm and collected during the planning process, and even more so on the morning of the event. Her confidence when putting on the final touches translated to the hostesses, really helping us to take a deep breath and realize that it was all under control thanks to Victoria!
The event would not have been the same without Victoria’s services! The quality of the food was so amazing and fresh tasting, and everything was so well presented. I’ll never know how she prepared all that food for so many people with seemingly little effort. ~ Nicole H.
