“Marilyn, thank you for a lovely Sunday afternoon. Long after I have forgotten De Nero’s Game, I shall remember your Madras Curry shortbread, those scones that melted in my mouth, the simple elegance of your tea service.” — Joy Bullen

“My book club devoured your sandwiches in no time. Not a crumb left. My guests especially loved the smoked salmon with lemon zest and the cucumber and mint sandwiches. They were taken with the shortbread too, but fortunately they left some so that I can freeze them for another day. Everything was great; your sandwiches pleased everyone much more than the book we discussed – Three Cups of Tea (a non-fiction about Greg Mortenson, an American climber who is devoting his life to building schools for girls in Afghanistan). I can see why you call your company Simply Splendid: Everything was fresh and delicious – party sandwiches extraordinary!” — Marilyn Linton
