Hi Sarah,
I just wanted to thank you both again for the food at Christmas; it was very much appreciated by all. We especially loved the range of different tastes and textures. Some was left over and we baked the mini potatoes the next day and they were amazing!

Dear Sarah and Stephen,
I just wanted to send a mail to you to thank you both for doing a wonderful job at our wedding party on New Years Eve. Everyone agreed that the food was fantastic and that they all had more than their fill! The midnight snack table that you laid out was so tastefully done that it was almost a shame to tuck into the tasty nibbles. It was a very significant party for Hugh and I and we were thrilled with all your efforts, which helped the party run so smoothly.
Many Thanks

. . . And indeed all the different tastes blended well together. It was really multi-culti fusion vegan cooking at its best. So compliments to the chef . . .

Dear Sarah and Stephen,
We are still receiving complements about your wonderful food on our daughter’s wedding, June 16th. Thank you both again so much. We are glad to have taken your advice on the buffet style dinner which was probably the most delicious food we have ever tasted! Sarah, you made everything so easy for us and your attention to detail was superb. We only wish we could have another wedding to use you all over again!

Just a short note to say thank you and very well done to Stephen and yourself for the lunch last Saturday. Everybody was most complimentary about the quality of the food and the efficiency of the service and it really rounded off a fabulous weekend for all.
So again, take a bow & if you ever want to use me as a reference, please do.
Many thanks,

Dear Stephen and Sarah
Just a quick note to say another big thank you to you both for the fab meal and service last week. Everyone really enjoyed the meal and you were both so professional and discreet. You are also a lovely couple.
We would love to use "Food for Thought" again when we return to the area next year or before.
You made are celebration extra special and more than complete.
Wishing you and your family continued success.

Food For Thought has become a corner stone in Slow Food Events in West Cork - Stephen and Sarah have always worked with local food makers and understand its origins and its potential.
Their talents and experience has brought us all together several times this year in elegant packages that they design, apparently effortlessly. More than most though, is the fun they put into their food - the "no panic" school of catering is such a pleasure to work with! Look for the advice they hand out from real Icons of good eating, like:
"Never eat more than you can lift" Miss Piggy....

World class cooking. The finest ingredients. Inspired flavour combinations. Are we in a cooking school? Are we in a five star hotel? Are we in Italy … France? No, we are enjoying the cooking of Stephen Canty in the comforts of our own home in Schull, Ireland.
Stephen is one of the most talented chefs we have known. We include in our sample chefs working in Michelin-starred restaurants as well as those working for us at home. He takes special care to choose the absolutely finest and freshest ingredients. Then he combines these ingredients in ways that enhance their flavour. His sense of taste and texture is superb, as is his flare for presentation.
These qualities are enough to make us enthusiastic followers of Stephen Canty. However, his clear talent for cooking is enhanced further by his willingness to tailor his food for the needs of his clients. We prefer not to spend time giving detailed menu instructions, so we ask Stephen to choose the menu. He consistently delivers exactly what we like. Furthermore, he does not frown when we request additional, simpler meals for the children. All tasks are carried out with a smile.
We have enjoyed the magic of Stephen’s cooking for more than five years. The quality has gone from strength to strength over that time. This secret is just too good to keep.

Stephen Canty looked after two groups that I had sharing a week in the wonderful Birch House at Glengarriff. One group was a two-family group, composing thirteen adults in all. The other, a group of businessmen on a management retreat.
Stephen cooked and catered for all, meeting the variety of tastes with an excellent selection of foods.
Finally, on the last day, he organised a cookery competition which was greatly enjoyed by all and Stephen's humour and gentle nature contributed greatly to the success of the evening.
For all of this and for more, I would greatly recommend Stephen's culinary skills to anyone.
Regards,
TOM HEFFERON
