About Elise
One dinner the whole family can actually agree on. I create nourishing, from-scratch meals full of color, flavor, and balance. I specialize in family-style, freezer-friendly dishes and deconstructed meals that work for different tastes within the same household. I'm skilled at making meals that work for both adults and kids, serving the dish in parts so everyone can mix and match between the protein, veggies, sauce, and grains. And I don't mind if kids and pets are running around the kitchen too! My goal is to bring joy and ease to your week with healthful food that's colorful and full of vegetables. Korean beef bowls with roasted broccoli and pickled carrots. Falafel bowls with herb quinoa and tahini. Cauliflower and black bean enchiladas. Peruvian chicken with a fresh cilantro-lime sauce. Tell me milder, lighter, or to swap an ingredient, and I'll cook it that way. And I'm also always open to totally custom requests. At the heart of my work is the belief that good food builds community, and that cooking for others is a meaningful way to care for people and help them feel supported.
