“I want to commend Ericka for an outstanding Christmas Eve dinner, the Braised Short Ribs was so tender, we didn't even need a knife to cut them. The Shrimp Creole was very tasty, so was the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and the Roasted Vegetables. Over all it was a big hit with our dinner party. We highly recommend Ericka for your next catering event.”
