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. Each menu is built to bring joy and ease to your week, with satisfying dishes, fresh sides, vibrant sauces, and baked goods. 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.
Mix and match these when you build your session, or request something totally custom.
Elise can also accept requests outside these hours — these are just their typical windows.
Elise was so personable, professional, and easy to work with. The recipes accommodated all our preferences and were absolutely delicious. We would love to work with Elise again!
I definitely will be booking Elise again. The food was very delicious, and filling. I've been eating vegetarian for a meal and havent been missing the meat. I look forward to more of her vegetarian dishes.
Marinated chicken with cumin, garlic, and lime, with roasted sweet potato and vegetables and a bright green sauce.
Smoky tempeh and black beans (or smoked-paprika chicken) served with tortillas with cilantro crema and cabbage–red pepper slaw.

Shawarma-spiced crispy tofu served over yellow rice with roasted cauliflower and bell peppers, and a creamy tahini-garlic sauce.
I had a great experience with the cook. The food was tasty, fresh and prepared on time. What stood out most was the quality of the ingredients. Everything felt homemade and thoughtfully prepared, making the overall experience very enjoyable. She was warm, friendly and highly professional. She was punctual, well-organized and attentive to my preferences. She communicated clearly, maintained a clean kitchen and took pride in her work. Her positive attitude and thoughtful approach made the experience comfortable and enjoyable and it was clear that she genuinely cared about providing great meals and service.
Elise was terrific. Will definitely book her again.
Homemade was great! The process was super simple and the result was better than I expected. What a great service for a busy family with young kids. It’s easily customizable based on what you need and what works best for you and your family! Elise was especially great and it turned into an impromptu cooking class for my 4 year old who now considers himelf a sous chef. I would highly recommend this service!
