You’ve never experienced meal preparation like this before.

✓ You want a fridge full of meals built around your goals and preferences, not a one-size-fits-all menu.

✓ Food that fits your dietary needs without the stress.

✓ A week with dinner completely handled.

I hear you, and I'm here to take meal prep entirely off your plate. 

At Red Fennel Kitchen, I cook real food built around the way you actually want to eat.

Everything is made with organic ingredients, prepped with as little waste as possible, and packed in non-toxic, reusable containers (better for you, and for the planet that grew your dinner).

Your only job? Tell me what you like. Then show up hungry.

In-Home Meal Preparation Service

I cook in your kitchen. You get the rest of your week back.

  • Before your first cook, you'll fill out a short food questionnaire so I can plan a menu around your tastes, your household, and any dietary needs or allergies. On cook day, I shop, cook everything from start to finish in your kitchen, and clean up every dish I dirty. You walk into a fridge full of food and a kitchen that looks like nothing happened.

    It's a good fit if you want real, home-cooked meals without the planning, the grocery runs, or the 6 p.m. scramble, and you'd rather spend your evenings with the people or on the work that matters.

    • A menu of 8 meals built around your tastes, household, and dietary needs, refreshed every visit

    • All grocery shopping with hand-picked, organic ingredients

    • A full cook in your kitchen, plus complete cleanup within 4 hours

    • Meals labeled and portioned in your own containers with reheating instructions on every dish

    • Direct communication with me throughout, so nothing about your food feels complicated or uncertain

Starting at $650 per service + the cost of groceries. Packages can be customized to add more meals, portions, and snacks!

Delivered Meal Preparation

A custom menu, designed around you, delivered to your door.

  • We start with a quick conversation about your tastes, your household, and anything I should know about how you eat (allergies, dietary needs, the foods that make you happy, the ones that don't). I plan the week's menu around all of it, shop for entirely organic foods, cook them in my commercial kitchen, and deliver everything to your door fully prepared and beautifully portioned. You reheat and eat.

    It's a good fit if you want nourishing, thoughtfully made food showing up in your life on a regular rhythm, without the planning, the shopping, or the evening panic. Whether your schedule is packed or just unpredictable, it means one less thing to figure out, every single week.

    • A fresh menu of 8 meals built around your tastes, your household, and your dietary needs, every week

    • All grocery shopping with hand-picked, organic ingredients

    • Meals cooked safely in my licensed commercial kitchen and delivered fully prepared to your door

    • Everything labeled, portioned, and packed in non-toxic, reusable containers with reheating instructions

    • Direct communication with me, your chef, week to week

Starting at $550 per delivery + the cost of groceries.  (New delivery clients also pay a one-time $200 setup fee for their own personal set of non-toxic glass containers and insulated catering bags, all yours to keep.) Packages can be customized to add more meals, portions, and snacks!

New Mom Package

Because the only thing you should be feeding right now is your baby.

  • Setting it up is gentle and quick. You tell me a little about where you are in recovery, what feels nourishing right now, and anything else I should know such as allergies, foods that bring comfort, or foods to skip while nursing. From there, I plan the menu, source everything organically, cook it in my commercial kitchen, and bring it over ready for your fridge.

    • A postpartum-friendly menu chosen for recovery, steady energy, and easy digestion

    • Organic ingredients sourced and prepped just for you

    • Food cooked in my licensed kitchen and built for one-handed, half-asleep reheating

    • A personal point of contact in me from first message to final delivery

Starting at $997 + the cost of groceries. *Wanting to send this as a gift? I'll quietly coordinate the timing so it arrives the week she'll need it most.

Event Catering

Courses as memorable as the moment.

  • Planning starts well before the day itself. We talk through the occasion, the headcount, the vibe you're after, and how your guests eat (allergies, dietary needs, etc.). From there I design the menu, source it organically, prep what I can ahead, and arrive ready to cook, plate, and style on site. When the last guest leaves, the kitchen is cleaner than I found it.

    This is the service for the moments that deserve more than a tray of grocery-store appetizers and where the food is part of the memory. Intimate dinners, milestone parties, launches, showers — if there's a reason to gather, I'll build the menu around it.

    • A custom event menu designed around the occasion, your guest count, and every dietary need at the table

    • Organic, seasonal ingredients sourced and prepped by hand

    • On-site cooking and plating, so food goes out fresh rather than sitting under foil

    • Thoughtful styling and a tablescape that matches the look you're going for

    • Full cleanup, plus one point of contact in me from first idea to final toast

Starting at $150 per guest for a classic three-course meal. (Final pricing depends on your guest count, menu, and dietary needs.)

LET'S CELEBRATE

FROM THE RED FENNEL FAMILIES…

  • Because of Red Fennel Kitchen, gluten and dairy free mealtime is easy, fun, and stress free!

    When I was told to start a gluten and dairy-free diet, I was overwhelmed and confused about what I could eat, never mind how to prepare it. Working with Brooke at Red Fennel Kitchen took all the stress away! Delicious meals arrive ready to eat once a week, and all that I need to worry about is which one to choose at mealtime! Brooke works with your food preferences to make sure that you will be happy with your menu.

    JULIA K.

  • I love Brooke’s cooking! She made exactly what I like and cares so much about creating meals that nourish.

    Every dish felt thoughtful. It’s rare to find someone who brings that much care and skill into the kitchen. The meals were easy for me to freeze and pull out when I needed them!

Red Fennel is perfect for the person who…

✓ Is stretched thin (a busy parent, a new mom, a founder, an athlete) and has started to feel like feeding everyone has become its own unpaid job

✓ Cares about how their food is actually made: I cook with organic ingredients, prioritize low waste, and use non-toxic containers

✓ Wants a real relationship with a single chef who learns how they eat, not a rotating app, a subscription box, or a stranger every week

✓ Is ready to hand the planning, the shopping, and the prepping over completely, and to trust someone else with the details

✓ Lives or hosts in Greater Boston (traveling further is possible on request)

✗ Wants a weight-loss or diet program (I don't build menus around restriction or calorie cuts. If you have performance goals or macro targets, I'm absolutely here for that. The difference is cooking toward something instead of cutting everything out.)

✗ Needs same-day service (I plan menus and shop ahead, so a little lead time is part of how the magic happens)

✗ Wants zero communication (the best results come from a short, honest back-and-forth about how you actually eat)

Red Fennel is not for the person who…

FAQs

FAQs

  • We’ll hop on the phone and talk through what you need, how you eat, and which service actually fits your life. From there I build a menu and we pick a date. No portal, no chatbot, just me.

  • Yes, and it's one of my favorite parts of the job. A new diagnosis, a serious allergy, a postpartum body, an athlete's training plan — the menu is built around how you actually eat, every time. Real, whole foods, with your needs treated as the starting point and never an afterthought. 

  • Before I plan a single dish, I want to know how you eat, what you love, what you won't touch, and what your week actually looks like. The menu comes from that conversation, not a template. The longer we work together, the more dialed-in it gets.

  • Always. If there's a dish you've been craving, an ingredient you want to use up, or a recipe you've seen somewhere and want a version of, tell me. This is your food. Requests aren't an imposition, they're useful!

  • For in-home cooking, a working kitchen and a little fridge space (I bring the knives, the groceries, and the plan). For delivery, just a door. New delivery clients get their glass containers and an insulated bag in the one-time setup fee, so there's nothing for you to buy.

  • You could. But a meal kit still hands you the planning, the cooking, the cleanup, and the deciding. Red Fennel Kitchen takes the whole mental load off your plate, not just the grocery run. And it's one chef who learns your tastes over time, not a different stranger every week.

  • Absolutely. Life isn't on a fixed schedule, and your meals don't have to be either. Travel, a busy stretch, a week with family in town — just give me a heads-up and we'll pause or skip as needed. Recurring service should make your life easier, not stress you out!

  • Bachelorettes, baby showers, brand launches, backyard dinner parties, birthday dinners…if it's worth celebrating, I can build a menu around it. I handle the sourcing, cooking, styling, and cleanup. You just show up and enjoy it. Reach out with a rough headcount and date and we'll go from there.

Red Fennel Kitchen is small on purpose, which means every client gets real attention and food that actually tastes like someone made it for you.
