Hello Martin,
Just want to thank you for the fantastic BBQ. You do make the best ribs I have ever tasted!
The guests loved your lesson on BBQing, even the most serious people were laughing! You did a great job as always & just making my day so easy & enjoyable.
Thanks for the nectarins - they are soooo good.
Thanks,

Martin, Once again, a huge thank you for the time you donated to our group.
What you said made an impact and there was lots of interesting discussions that came after your appearance.
A number of clients rethought different decisions they had made in their plans. It is great to get different perspectives.

Thank you for the outstanding Oscar's dinner fare - who knew that celebrity gazing could bring celebrity grazing….Goldie Prawns, Britney Spears of asparagus, Cake Winslet and Leonardo Cappuccino to name but a few.

The tart was delicious. We enjoyed a piece that evening so it was room temperature.
The next day we shared it with friends after being in the fridge over night. Again equally as enjoyable. I think I preferred it chilled. I'll be in touch.
Thanks.
Chris, Kelowna, BC
Hi Chef Martin;
We so enjoyed the food you left... Kev and I ate like pigs and of course Wendy and Brad got in there too (not like them to ever miss a great meal by The Chef!!)
I hope the kitchen worked out well for your tapings. You know if you ever need a kitchen, I would be more than happy to give you mine for the day. I'm just sorry that I couldn't be there to let your entourage in, maybe next time.
Hope your reno's for your outdoor cookery is coming along.
Take care,
Julie Rowat, West Kelowna, BC
Thank you Chef for the recipes and the great evening. Everyone had a wonderful time!
Kerry Slater, Kelowna/BC
Chef Martin,
Dinner was lovely. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. We are definitely inspired to try out some new recipes and get a bit more creative in our own Kitchen now that we can see the possibilities.
We don't have any plans for a fancy dinner in the near future, but I am sure that we will come up with a reason to spoil ourselves again.
Nicole, Kelowna-Okanagan-BC
Hi Martin,
Having a place at Big White has been a huge lifestyle upgrade for us. A terrific place to bring friends and families to “get a way” and ski. Your involvement has made the time there even more special. Thanks for the terrific evening again this year.
I look forward to some time and culinary skill development at RH.
Regards,
Jim Penner, FCGA, Winnipeg/Big White
You were right chef... those kids think that your caramel sauce is the world's best,
so I will be needing to make that recipe again sometime (among other things). Thank you again for a wonderful evening....
I'm sure we'll see you again in the future.
Karen Wiseman, Vernon-BC
Hello Martin: I am enclosing a couple of photos from our wonderful dinner party. Thank you so much for everything - it was all I was hoping for and more!!
Family and friends were delighted and are already thinking of when they can book dinner parties. I loved the way you took over my kitchen while I sat and watched and chatted with you - such a treat. I have had a few requests from my guests for recipes. If you could find time during you pre-Christmas busy schedule I would really appreciate receiving recipes for a couple of the delicous appies - the lime prawns and the hot crab dip.
Thanks Martin again - you're the best.
Cheers,
Gene & Barb Fischer, Kelowna, BC, Canada
Hey Martin – thank you so much for a fantastic meal, complete with wine pairings. The entire office staff felt it was our best Christmas party to date, and we greatly appreciate your contribution to that!
We all look forward to the next time we learn from, and laugh with – our personal Chef.
Looking forward to those recipes too, when you have a moment. I didn’t see any of them on the web page, but will keep checking there also.
Kathy Goldie, Vernon, BC
Martin,
Just wanted to extend a big thanks to you from the guys at The Kelowna Central firehall.
They enjoyed your talks and of course the food .
Send our wishes to you and your family for a great holiday season .
Now when you here someone say “firefighters , all they do is eat and sleep, you can let them know they are half right .
"You witnessed some of the cool things about this job, the camaraderie and the rush of helping people."
take care,
