I own a small catering company in Canada that handles a lot of small exclusive business office parties. During the summer months we specialize in wholesome foods served in picnic baskets complete with fine wines and even checkered tablecloths. We try to offer our clients menu selections that are not only healthy but supply a bit of flair and tempting eye appealing foods. Discovering Ms. Bicks wonderful Guilty Comfort Foods has made our dessert selections not only easier but the compliments keep coming in. The cookbook has top billing on our kitchen shelf and her whitty tongue in cheek way of writing brings smiles to the faces of my catering staff. Thank you Lisa and when is the next book coming!!
