"An exquisitely intimate dinner party play...It’s one of those truly unique New York theatrical moments that you want to witness...I found Crispino’s performance completely engaging...Rubin has crafted a perfect dish that is visually appealing and theatrically satisfying. The pace is tight, keeping the audience entranced and curious to know more...It’s an intelligent piece of theater made by three women who understand how to tell an intimate story that makes your feel part of the family."

"Under the skillful direction of Barbara Rubin, this insatiable hunger for the truth, this desire for self knowledge, is mirrored in the constant activity of food preparation and cooking...More like a moving art piece, 'Let Me Cook For You,' simultaneously nudges the audience, with its rhythmic pacing of narration and direct audience address and participation, to question what stories we’ve been told that upon closer examination feel expired or inauthentic."
