About Elise

Hi! I'm Elise, the Dallas-based personal chef and recipe developer behind Coppedge Kitchen.

 In my 20s, I started leaning into my love for good food through Ina Gartenโ€™s cookbooks and shows. I quickly realized I wanted more. I left my job in finance, went to culinary school, and began cooking for private clients in my hometown of Dallas, which taught me the real key ingredientsโ€”how to truly understand whatโ€™s worth cooking on repeat, and how to simplify without sacrificing flavor or health.

 My philosophy is simple: do your best to cook with whatโ€™s in season, donโ€™t overcomplicate it, and lean into flavor. People crave the kind of recipes that feel effortless but impressive. Like that one dress in your closet thatโ€™s guaranteed to make you feel amazing and get compliments on. That, but for dinner!

Thatโ€™s the heart of Coppedge Kitchen: approachable, show-stopping dinners that build confidence in the kitchen, and bring ease to even your busiest nights. Whether Iโ€™m cooking for you or youโ€™re cooking with me, youโ€™ll walk away with something worth sharing, and even passing down. Is there a recipe youโ€™re craving lately? Iโ€™d love to hear.
