Essie Gourmet catered at my dear late sister’s funeral this past January.
The food was so tasty and healthy!
Chef Essie knows how to mix up the menu and make it more exciting and delicious.
I will definitely seek Chef Essie’s services for my next gathering.
Thank you Eddie Gourmet, keep up the great work Chef Essie👩🍳🙏❤️
