The friendly people at MIKE’S KITCHEN invited us to attend a tasting session of their platters last week, and may I say I was impressed. The cook presented us with four different platters that can be prepared in one hour. (perfect if you need to quickly organize a lunch at work)

The time that it takes to prepare is no measure of the taste of the platters. Everything was masterfully presented and very, very tasty!
