Chef Gaby has been cooking for us for about two years. At first Gaby made a great effort to learn…read morewhat we like. Now she pretty much knows what we like and we give her free hand to make what she thinks will be good. With each visit we usually we get a few dishes that we've had before, plus one new one. Gaby has a tremendous range; this week's new-to-us dish was "squash cannelloni" and it was AWESOME - something that I hadn't heard of before and certainly wouldn't have dreamed up to combine. My 9 year old son loved it too. To boot the kitchen is always cleaner when she leaves that it was when she arrived. Five stars.

We were looking for a private chef to come to a home and cook a fancy dinner. We didn't know…read moreanyone who did private chef work so we called the DMACC culinary school and asked them. They recommend that we call Jake. We figured if the DMACC culinary school was recommending him he must be good. He came to the home and was very well prepared. He cooked an amazing meal that was loved by everyone. He was very personable, carried on great conversations when we spoke with him, and conducted himself very professionally. If you are looking for a personal chef or private chef contact Jake. We would strongly recommend him!

Hubby is a carnivore who will only reluctantly and occasionally eat kale so appreciate that I can get a single serving (but generous) size salad. Had the rainbow kale salad last night and it was yummy! I look forward to seeing what the offerings will be each Tuesday and don't mind driving from WDM to pick up my order the following Monday. I've also enjoyed offerings from Cottagescapes Bakery (funny my husband will eat the scones!). Madeline is passionate about her business and appreciates her customers so I am happy to support another small business, especially one that prepares such good vegan food!

Text when you arrive, and they bring it out to your car! I've been wanting to reduce meat consumption for some time but I'm hypoglycemic so I need a lot of protein. I didn't want to put the time and energy into making the kinds of meals that would be vegetarian (I'm also sensitive to dairy and soy) AND provide enough protein. New World Kitchen has been the perfect solution. The owner and her staff are super kind too! I love supporting local business, and I'm excited every week to pick up my food.
