Our Story

Three sisters, one family recipe box.

It really is All About Taste.

Who We Are

What some have called the best cooking family in Kentuckiana.

Cooking has been a part of the three sisters’ lives since they were kids. Jackie Colin, Ginny Balmer, and Joyce Young grew up in Starlight, Indiana in a family of twelve brothers and sisters, so they learned how to cook at a young age, and how to cook for a lot of people at once.

All three sisters claim they learned all they know about cooking from their late mother, Marcella Andres, who was also the sister of Bonnie Huber of Joe Huber’s Family Farm and Restaurant.

How We Got Our Name

Marcella taught the girls that when it came down to cooking, whether for one person or for a large group, you could bring a lot of happiness to people by serving them food that had one common goal: it was all about taste.

The girls have followed in those footsteps ever since.

Both Joyce and Ginny attended Our Lady of Grace Academy, a private Catholic high school in Indianapolis, where they continued their cooking education preparing meals for their classmates. Jackie started early too, catering full dinners for 12 to 15 priests and nuns at a time at St. John’s in Starlight while she was still in the 8th grade.

The three sisters watched their mom and aunts cater all of their own weddings, so they followed in those footsteps when it came time to cater their own sons’ and daughters’ weddings. Once people tasted the food at those family celebrations, it didn’t take long before the requests started coming in from people they didn’t even know. That is when they realized it was time to go into business for themselves.

The rest, as they say, is history. All About Taste, Catering by the Andres Sisters, is now available to everyone searching for quality food, outstanding personalized service, and prices that are extremely reasonable.

Why families choose us, and choose us again.

Personal Service

Growing up in a family with 12 brothers and sisters, we all learned the value of hard work as well as service. We also know that part of service, especially in the catering industry, is about helping to make all of your guests have a huge smile on their face. We love to bring a feeling of family, caring, and smiling warmth to every single event we have the good fortune to serve for.

Great Food

Ever since we were young, we have been hearing how amazing our family recipes tasted. At first it was from friends and family, so we thought they could have just been trying to be nice. Now we hear it everywhere we cater, no matter who it is, and we know that people really do love our cooking. Quality ingredients, preparation, and presentation will always go into every meal we create.

We work hard to make sure that not only does our food taste great, but it looks great being served as well. From the presentation of the food itself, to the tables it is being served on, we put our heart and soul into making it as beautiful to you as we would want it to look for ourselves. What you see really is what you get, so we make sure what you see is the very best!
