Catering & Special Events
Get Our Vegan Food at Your Event
Although our primary business is weekly meal prep for pickup and delivery, we love creating special orders of food for small events around Des Moines. In the past, we've made charcuterie spreads for local businesses, provided ready-to-eat versions of our meals and snacks for yoga and hiking retreats, and delivered bulk orders of our plant-based protein desserts to hotels for speaking events.
If you're looking for delicious vegan options for your event, please contact madeline@newworldkitchendsm.com and give us as much information as possible: date, location, and number of people you're hoping to serve. We don't currently have a catering menu available, but please take a look at our weekly vegan and gluten-free menus to get an idea of what we offer. If there are dishes you're interested in, please let us know.
Due to our busy schedule we aren't always able to meet the requirements of every event, but we would love to try to make it work if at all possible!

If you didn't order, you can find them at our retail spots while they last at The Slow Down Coffee Co, Coffee Cats, and The Refill Market. I'm so grateful for all of you who have kept us going for nearly six (!!!!!) years now. My goal is to build menus intentionally based on what you're craving. So, we're trying out something new starting this week! While placing your order for Monday, you can also vote for meals that will be included on next week's...

Our Entire Menu Is Gluten-free
If you didn’t already know, our entire menu (except pasta salads and the occasional dish containing farro) is available gluten-free! This includes GF options for wraps, breakfast burritos, pasta meals, and this new Tofu Gyro Salad. We always package the gluten-free version first to eliminate cross contamination.All other NWK items are gluten-free as is!We do work in a shared kitchen space where others bake with flour, etc throughout the week, but of course we sanitize all surfaces.This has become especially important to me as I’ve discovered I’m very gluten sensitive myself. I brought this salad home and it was delicious...

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...
