Catering - Repeat Customer Marthie

"We have known Leoné Gardner for the past 5 years during which period she has catered for our family and our business on 4 occasions, for groups ranging between 20 and 45 people.  She has  always  been willing to adapt her menu to our personal requests, yet coming up with interesting combinations.  We have no hesitation in recommending her for similar functions."  - Marthie  & Jan Zeederberg

 

Cooking Lessons & Catering

"Leoné has been giving cooking lessons to our lady responsible for providing lunches to the directors of our company. Thula has progressed from knowing nothing about cooking/ingredients to being able to provide beautifully made & presented meals and being proud of her work. Leone is extremely good at training and makes sure that the person understands and enjoys what is being taught. We have also used Leone as a caterer for lunches and workshops and she provides the most amazing meals and platters. We have at all times found her to be professional, punctual and reasonably priced for the exceptional end result she produces."  - Chrissie Carey, accountant

 

Catering - Repeat Customer Lydia

"Ek kan getuig van Leoné  van The Feast Fairy se uitstekende kookvernuf en gasvryheidstalent. Leoné het al by verskeie geleenthede vir ons kom kos voorberei in die gerief van ons eie huis in Midstream. Of die geleentheid nou 'n verjaarsdag ete was of sommer net klomp van ons pelle was wat lekker saam gekuier het; sy het presies geweet hoe om van die aand 'n sukses te maak! Bo en behalwe die feit dat die tuisgemaakte disse smaaklik voorberei was; het sy die kombuis vir my skoon agtergelos. Ek kan sowaar vir The Feast Fairy met liefde aanbeveel. Julle sal nie terleurgestel wees nie!"  - Lydia Kruger

 

Cooking Lessons  (2 girls)

"This is to confirm that we were delighted at the work you did with Gugu.  We found you to be most professional.  You were punctual for all four lessons.  You made sure that Gugu learned both the thinking behind cooking and also the practice of it.  Gugu was fully engaged, and had such a great time that she wants to have follow up lessons.  We loved the food after each lesson.  So the benefit was the learning and development of Gugu and the family enjoyment." -  Sim Tshabalala, CEO

"Petit Fours Party" (16 children)

"Leone het my dogter se 9de verjaarsdag so spesiaal gemaak met die tema van 'Cake Boss'.  Hulle (al 14 maatjies) het heerlik saam geleer oor petit fours en versiering en dit baie geniet.  Haar eindelose geduld met al die vra en verduidelikings was 'n riem onder die hart.  Die partytjie was 'n reuse sukses, die petit fours pragtig (en heerlik) en die dag onvergeetlik dansy haar moeite!  Ek kan haar met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel aan enigiemand wat 'n soortgelyke partytjie belan."  - Wouda

"Christmas Feast for Friends"  (17 people)

"En dit was 1 GROOT fees!!!!! Baie dankie Leoné, van die woord 'go' af het jy absoluut uit jou pad uit gegaan om vir die klomp vriende 'n Kers-ete duisend te maak. Dit was genuine asof die fairies in die kombuis was en die heerlikste smake opgetower het. Met jou advies het ons vrouens ook soos gourmet chefs gevoel met die opdiening van die geregte. Gaan jou nommer beslis op speeddial sit!!"  -  Yolanda Venter

Catering "Safari" Year End Feast  (12 people)

"I had the privilege of enjoying a day of preparation and cooking with Leoné, a.k.a. the Feast Fairy, in my home in November 2011. We had such fun in planning and preparing for the great feast with 12 guests. The men were most impressed with the tasty lamb shanks, while the women feasted on the salmon with salsa verde and the homemade meringue aand fruit pavlova. A great experience and most relaxing for me as hostess as all was done for me. I can definitely recommend the Feast Fairy! I also learned a couple of cooking tricks in the process!"  -  Hannetjie 

 

Catering "Spit Braai Feast"  (31 people)

"It gives me great pleasure in writing this testimonial.  Leoné was referred to me by a friend of mine - who could not stop elaborating to me about what a phenomenal meal she had served.  We decided to make contact with Leoné, and thus proceeded to contract her to co-ordinate our staff year-end function.

In addition to an absolutely amazing meal, that was personalised to perfection in terms of our requirements - we could not get enough of both our own Chef and her excellent cuisine.  Having Leoné on call made what is normally a very tiring and difficult event, purely effortless. Furthermore, by having Leoné doing all our shopping, we got the best without any of the inconvenience - all of the ingredients were fresh, and of the best possible quality - resulting in a truly awesome experience.  Taking all of the above into account, a person would be of the opinion that we paid a premium for her services. However, Leoné was far cheaper than any restaurant, with the added benefit of having the food and service customised to our requirements.

I would highly recommend Leoné's services."  -  Daniel Muller, CEO

 

Cooking & Baking Lessons (1 person)

"The Feast Fairy gives her lessons with simple instruction, creativity and grace. The added benefit of having the lesson in one's own kitchen is that it ensures you will be able to recreate the dish with confidence, using only the utensils that you have in your own kitchen. The Feast Fairy is truly so inspiring and teaches cooking principles without overbearing rules, allowing room for expression, creativity and one's own taste. I enjoyed every moment and look forward to my next lesson!"  -  Sulé
