Our story

kitchkat was cooked up on a cold winter’s night in December 2009 when a few friends aired their frustrations about having little time or energy to get a good meal on their plate after a long day of work. Take out or going out to eat was expensive and often unhealthy but for a busy person on the go, it was the easiest option.  I’ve loved cooking for as long as I can remember and the idea came to me: I could cook ‘better than takeout’, healthy and well-balanced meals for my friends! And so kitchkat began.

kitchkat specializes in nutritious, well-rounded and seasonal cooking. Working with many clients with dietary restrictions has provided years of experience finding alternative ingredients without sacrificing flavor.
