Testimonial

Former Camp Director of the BELL Summer Program (Brown University)
“As a summer Camp Director, I had many details on my mind. I was so grateful that I never had to think about meals or providing diverse, nutritious food. Nitchell had it covered! Plus, she never let a dietary restriction fall through the cracks.  They always had delicious and varied options. As a vegetarian myself, I learned new spices and dishes that I even started making at home. Did I mention she's just a wonderful person to be around?”
