"What a lovely new addition to the San Miguel community, Lila, the lovely Dinner Goddess. She recently catered a party for me. Her menu was exciting, well-executed... I hardly had to lift a finger. I am still getting calls from some of the guest wanting to know, "Who did the food!?"

-- Patti Bess, referencing the "Cocktail Party for 50"

"The Dinner Goddess did a superb job. The picadillo was to die for, the ginger margaritas sublime. There were 65 very happy, well-fed people."
-- Client, referencing the "Casual Cocktail Party for 65"
