About Us
Welcome To simplest tastes
Simplest Tastes provides catering services specializing in Soul Food from scratch. It is Black-owned and operated by Shandell Staley and Quawana Hassan.
We were inspired to create Simplest Tastes by the time-tested recipes of our Grandmother Essie and her twin sister Dessie. Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, they taught us everything that food should be.
Those lessons learned are the basic ingredients that go into each dish that Simplest Tastes serves. All of the food at Simplest Tastes meets the three basic requirements of our grandmother’s properly prepared food: appealing, aromatic, and succulent.Place your order today and experience the generational goodness of food served with love in every bite.
