About Elise
What Would Ina Do?
Hi there! I’m Elise, the foodie behind Coppedge Kitchen where I share my meal prep and recipes. Raised on the Barefoot Contessa, I fell in love with cooking for others, and in 2020, followed my signature mantra (What would Ina do?).
I took a leap of faith to quit my job in Finance for culinary school and quickly found my niche cooking balanced, nourishing meals for families in Dallas, TX-my hometown.
I view food, not just as fuel, but something that brings others together. It’s my goal to make and share memorable, flavorful meals that are accessible and fun to make. I hope that by sharing my services and recipes with you, I’m able to bring you one step closer to those special moments around the table.
