“Entertaining in my home is one of the favorite things I like to do with family, friends and clients.  I like the presentation of the table and deciding on the menu.  The cooking part – not anymore.   I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Chef Nance Danner Rocha a few years ago and have relied on her for everything to cooking for high end dinners that I auctioned off for charities that brought in a lot of money for those charities, to family holiday gatherings for a big group to my personal weekly “good food for myself”.  Not only is she a fabulous chef but her presentation of the food is perfection.  Also, she is delightful and always ads to the charm of the event.  I give her a 100+ she is the best I have come across in years.  I recommend her highly!”
