“My company wanted to do something different for a team building event and decided to try Ofri’s Home Cooking.
Who doesn’t enjoy a home cooked meal?
We have a good mix of men and woman and what a blast!
Ofri made numerous suggestions for a menu for us to vote on and was prepared when we arrived.
Her home was very inviting, big enough for all of us and we also had a short meeting afterwards.
The food was delicious! The recipes were detailed and Ofri was around to help and answer any questions.
There were enough recipes and things to do to keep everyone busy and get their hands dirty!
Since we had so much fun, I am bringing my office staff back for our Holiday party.
I highly recommend this for a date night, employee appreciation or team building.” Sue, Byada Asheville
