A New Vegan Documentary from Justin
Hi, I’m Justin. For those of you who pick up your food from us on Mondays, you probably know me as the guy who hands your orders to you. I’ve worked with my wife Madeline as the web developer/photographer for New World Kitchen over the last 5+ years — but for most of my working hours, I’m a filmmaker. This year, my two worlds have begun to collide: I’m helping my friend Ryan Rakes make a documentary about vegan strength athletes, and I thought some of you might be interested in the project. We’ve chosen the subject because there is...

We're Back with Three New Menu Items!

Playing around in the kitchen to create new recipes is my favorite thing, and I’m so grateful I run a business that allows me that time. And because you all are the coolest, so many of you tell me how much you love that we take these breaks....

Hello to Our New Customers!
I’ve been quiet over here. It hasn’t been on purpose— we’ve just been busy! (Today I was in the kitchen finishing this beautiful special order 💚)Despite that, we’ve been getting new customers! So I wanted to say hello 👋I’m Madeline, chef & owner of New World Kitchen. I previously co-owned New World Café in the East Village from 2012-2015. When I relaunched as NWK in 2020, I wanted to create a more sustainable way to run a food business that allows me to hang onto the love I have for cooking. While this is also an enormous amount of work,...

Video: The chef tries her own food
This week, Madeline and I collaborated on a short video. Like many chefs, she often doesn't eat every item on the menu, so she wanted to try out eating her own recipes for a week! Hope you enjoy it!
