TESTIMONIALS


Click here to see Denise and Cindie at work on The Ellen Show.


Once again, thanks to both you and Cindie for the outstanding work. I have been to hundreds of food shoots over my 25+ years in the business, and I have never seen any food stylists who work faster or more efficiently than you two.
- Jeff Courtney, Selling Points Design

"Denise is the first person we call when a television segment gets booked for one of our cookbook authors. Why? Because then we can stop worrying about it! All the food is beautifully prepped and the beauty shots are gorgeous. No detail escapes the watchful eye of the Food Fanatics. Suzanne Somers, Nigella Lawson, and others we have handled have all been well served by our friends at the Food Fanatics. They're the best!"
- Judy Hilsinger, CEO, Hilsinger Meldelson, Inc. a Public Relations Firm

 

"When my shows call for food, my first call to any crew member is to Food Fanatics. I will even schedule an entire shoot around Denise and her team's availability. They are outstanding craftspeople and are always prepared. Once a Food Fanatic, always a Food Fanatic."
- Kathy Kelly, Producer/Director Kathy Kelly Productions, Inc.

 

"Denise Vivaldo is simply the most professional food stylist I have ever worked with throughout my career. If I am asked to cook on television or for an event there is only one call I make and that is to Denise Vivaldo, the consummate professional."
- Diane Worthington, cookbook author and food writer

 

"Denise is fabulous. I refuse to work with anyone else. Denise has taught me so much. I've found myself deferring to Denise in all matters food-related. I have total confidence in her. She's an incredible woman and we've forged a fantastic relationship both professionally and personally."
- Jess Ponce, Media-Savvy producer

 

"Not only is Denise Vivaldo, without question the BEST food stylist I've ever encountered in more than 15 years of shooting food, but she and her Food Fanatics team contribute much more than good looking food to the shoots they are on. They are like a complete art department for "food." With Denise's truck full of props, table dressing, plates and display dishes handpicked for the occasion all arranged under Denise's impeccable eye, the "food" is always the easiest part of any shoot. I have literally rescheduled shoots so that she would be available. Very simply... I won't shoot food without her."
- Brady Caverly, writer, director, and producer

 

"Denise is a spirit to reckon with... Her zest for life and ability to bring everyone's spirits to zenith are unparalleled. Not only is she also a talented person in the food world, but a very, very hard worker. These qualities make for an extraordinarily gifted person."
- Joanne Weir, chef and cookbook author

 

Thank you so much...you did an outstanding job with minimal direction. You're my first choice for any future productions in the Los Angeles area. Great to work with you.
- Carolyn O'Neil, CNN journalist and author of The Dish

 

Thanks tons! Cindie was just excellent...great to work with. We're finishing the ad this week and think it will be even better than the last one.
