“Busy as bees, hungry as lions and as particular as we can be! Chef Deb addressed our schedule, our appetite and our dietary habits. My husband and I presented Chef Deb with two very different palates and she actually welcomed the challenge with a smile and absolutely DELICIOUS meals. The caring and presentation put into our meals became a nurturing and fulfilling experience.

Chef Deb is the ultimate professional with an artistic flair with food. Enjoy!”

“As an event planner for Creative Solutions, I spend most of my life entertaining which entails working closely with Chefs and Caterers. I am delighted with the services provided by Seasons of Thyme. The service is impeccable, the staff is creative, skilled, efficient, pleasant and courteous, the planning process is effortless and fun, and the food, well...simply put, “poetry”. It doesn’t get any better in the Chicago area than Seasons of Thyme.”

“Deb came out to the house for our anniversary. It was great. She brought everything: tablecloth, forks, knives, fancy napkins, plates, cooking utensils, and all the food. All she needed from us was use of our stove, refrigerator and sink to clean up.

Deb did everything start to finish and left the kitchen in the same or better shape than when she arrived.

The food was great and the service unbelievable. If you want to turn your home into a five-star restaurant, call Deb. And it was less expensive than going to dinner at a five-star restaurant!”

“Just as an FYI. Bill and I will be glad to host all events catered by Nancy and Deb. Everything was wonderful! The food was beyond terrific, they selected great wines, and our kitchen was cleaner when they left than when they arrived!!
Thank for a wonderful afternoon. This was the best event ever.”

“Following the purchase of our new home, our realtor gave us a thank you gift of having Deb come to our home and make us dinner. We were not sure what to expect. She arrived with all of the items she would need including all of the utensils she would be using. We only needed to provide the kitchen! Deb contacted us in advance to talk about the menu. I have many food allergies and she was very attentive to those needs. Throughout the cooking process my children had many questions. She was very respectful to them, answering their questions and including them as important members of this evening! Deb created an exceptional meal that everyone in the family enjoyed. We were very impressed with her professionalism. Deb made everyone feel comfortable and included. She truly does cater to your needs! I would strongly recommend Deb for all of your catering needs.”

“As Territory Sales Manager of Auto Glass Center in Rockford, I search for items to present to my clients on a monthly basis who send business our way. I have delivered pizzas, bagels, donuts, coffee cakes and more. In June I carried some very special goodie baskets specially prepared by Deb Miller of Ovation Catering and they were by far the biggest hit to date.

You can bet I will be putting my head together with Deb for many future treat packages!”

“Deb Miller made a basket of desserts for a gift. It was beautifully packaged! The cookies, bars, and breads were soooo good that I was reluctant to share them. She really listens to find out what is important to the client. I have had many friends and clients simply rave about how delicious her foods are!!! She is the best cook around!”

“I want to thank Deb Miller of Ovation Catering, Inc. for helping out one of our co-workers. Mark had a heart attack on Christmas Day and needed surgery. We took up a collection at work and used the money to hire Deb to cook for Mark and his wife. He was put on a very specialized and restrictive diet. They loved the whole idea: the food, the delivery, the containers, and Deb!

To anyone thinking of using Deb and her services, please know that everything was great and I highly recommend her.”
