"Norene’s culinary expertise and public relations skills enhanced our Food Services Department to a level that cannot easily be achieved in our industry. Norene had to design new menu cycles to make the choices more appealing both in taste and presentation to approximately 145 seniors...making sure that the ingredients and cooking processes were more health-conscious. Norene fulfilled her mandate in every way." Mitchell C. Nadler, Director/Castel Royal (former Director, Manoir Montefiore).

Gourmania does recipe development for the food service industry, including food manufacturers, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, supermarkets and gourmet shops.

"Entrées Express is a new business and a new concept in Canada. Without Norene and Doug we would be a food business in name only. They provide an invaluable recipe research and development service, are extremely responsive to our needs, and have gone out of their way to help us launch our business. Their insights into the food industry, knowledge, personal attention to our requirements, advice, and wonderful recipes is exactly what we (and our customers) need. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them and highly recommend their services. We think they are great!"
