Who We Are

Family, Food, and Community.
Katie Cooney is a classically trained chef, with extensive experience in fine dining, from running a 350 person exclusive clubhouse dining room to catering weddings, parties, and corporate events with up to 750 guests dining. She has worked in exclusive venues, high volume restaurants, and bars, and brings a wealth of skill and knowledge to our kitchen. Katie is a firm believer in making everything from scratch, and is not one to sacrifice quality for convenience.

Ryan Cooney has worked as a culinary operational logistics manager, a chef, baker, and line cook, learning directly from a wide range of talented professionals. His keen attention to detail and wide range of experience within the hospitality industry work hand in hand with Chef Katie’s talents to provide an unforgettable experience in everything they do.

Together with their sons, Andrew & Ian, the Cooneys formed Elegant Tastes to bring their passion for food and family to their community. Whether you’re enjoying our Take & Bake meals, you hire us to cater your event, or you just want a special dinner cooked in your home or vacation rental, Elegant Tastes is here to make sure your meal is delightful.
