Emergency Menu Delay
I wound up in the ER with appendicitis the other day. Thankfully it was in the early stages and I had surgery yesterday before it got too terribly painful. Because of this, I have to delay the menu a week. For those who pre-ordered - pick up will now be on Monday 3/15 from 5-6:30. My instinct is to always find a way to make it work no matter what’s thrown at me, but this time rest is going to be the best decision. I reached out to everyone who ordered and your thoughtful messages and support mean the world...

Have You Tried Our Giardiniera Hummus?
This is our Giardiniera Hummus 😍 I am all about any extra reason to eat giardiniera. I was once caught by my boyfriend eating straight up hot giardiniera relish spread on toast for breakfast 🤣 White beans with herbs, shallots, vinegar, tahini & mild giardiniera relish for a fun burst of flavor. Use in place of mayo in sandwiches or wraps!And if you want to eat it for breakfast, we don’t judge ❤️❤️❤️

Scared of “fake meat”?
Scared of “fake meat”? Me too, honestly.As someone who’s been vegan for over 10 years, meat feels foreign at this point. I never really was the biggest fan of the texture or taste, so luckily I don’t miss it. But I do crave patties or main dishes that bring flavors, textures, & a satisfaction that sometimes vegetables just can’t quite give.Because I don’t love commercial processed meat alternatives, I set out to make my own. I make them from scratch using vegetables, beans, grains, & spice blends. The opportunities are endless - which is exactly what gets me excited about...

The Man Behind the Photos
There aren’t many photos of Justin since he’s usually the one behind the camera! Justin Norman of ST Media is the one to thank for the beautiful photos and website for New World Kitchen. And if you’ve picked up food, he’s probably the one who ran it out to your car! Whether helping clean up the kitchen at the end of a long day of cooking, or running a last minute errand when I run out of an ingredient, he has been an absolute lifesaver. His encouragement and support is a huge part of why New World Kitchen is even here. 🥰Oh...
