ative Houstonian, Elizabeth Stone, President, Owner, and Executive Chef of Silver
Stone Events, is someone known for whipping up the most delightful, memorable
event experiences. Going back to the time
when Elizabeth was born, her parents had
a very delightful, memorable experience,
as her mother was 45 and her father was
50 and they already had a 10 year old son and a 15 year
old daughter!
As Elizabeth was growing up, her parents took her
with them everywhere they went which included dining
out in fine restaurants. At a very young age, Elizabeth
developed a sophisticated palate and learned quickly
about proper decorum in public places. In addition, Elizabeth enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with both
of her parents whipping up their favorite dishes. Her
mother’s cooking was influenced by her French heritage
and her dad loved good, old American cuisine.
Elizabeth was a math and science whiz in school and
also excelled in Spanish. After graduating from Lamar
High School, Elizabeth attended and graduated from
SMU and also spent a year abroad in Spain while at
SMU. Elizabeth had a truly awesome experience and
delighted in learning how to prepare the dishes of the
Spanish region including tapas and paella.
