| “As
a fully trained chef and owner of one of Chicago’s
leading catering companies [editor's note: Martini Moon
Catering, 773.989.0016], I can attest to Bret’s
knowledge of food, cooking and entertaining. His insights
towards what makes certain foods delectable and flavorful
go way beyond the dishes themselves, and he’s
totally dedicated to creating a variety of presentations
and sensations for any social event, which guarantees
a wonderful time for all!”
-- Cassandra Beltrons, Chicago, IL
“I've used Bret's organizational, streamlining
and managerial skills, and right now, his decor knowledge,
emphasizing psychology, seems particularly useful in
real estate sales. Whether it's consultations with newly
listed sellers, or preparation for an open house, or
helping new buyers looking for decor guidance, Bret
can make a difference!"
-- Bonnie Sweetman, ABR, GRI, Realtor®, Chicago,
IL
“I have always liked and made salads but confess
that mine were pretty unexciting until Bret showed me
how to give them a burst of flavor with a few small
additions. By using a few simple rules based on his
balance theory of flavors, he can add a taste depth
and excitement to any dish. Your mouth will sing."
-- Dr. Beverly Rathcke, Ann Arbor, MI
“I have stayed on several occasions with Bret
at his home, Casa Beall, so I know he walks his talk.
Bret is a remarkable host in several ways:
- He is a kind and thoughtful host, sensitive to
the needs of guests;
- He is a stimulating conversationalist as well
as an excellent listener;
- He is generous with his food and wine—and
everything he offers is delicious and interesting to
the palate;
- His knowledge of food and wine is shared without
snobbery or a sense of superiority;
- His knowledge goes beyond food and drink into
a multiplicity of areas, which adds to the rich integration
that characterizes GOD-DESS;
- Bret is genuine in his likes and in his sharing
spirit;
- He is open always to new knowledge and to learning.
Bret gave a presentation last Autumn on harvest foods
at the Springfield-Greene County Library. It called
for considerable preparation, and he was generous with
both his time and knowledge. Bret handled everything
in his characteristic intelligent, graceful, and genuinely
enthusiastic style. He brought handouts as well as recipes
and was in his element in sharing his love of tasty,
simple-to-prepare food that will stimulate the palate
and awake the senses. Bret’s audience was varied
in their background and interests and he did an excellent
job of responding to everyone’s questions in a
way that they could relate to and understand.”
