about Red Fennel kitchen

Red Fennel kitchen is a Boston-based personal chef+ service helping busy couples and families keep nutritious and delicious meals on the dinner table through meal prep services and chef-curated meal plans.

Personal chef services, or meal prep services, are perfect for clients whose schedules prohibit regular weeknight cooking, or clients who would rather delegate the cooking to a professional. Learn more about personal chef services here.

Meal plans are my newest offering and are a cost-effective way to work with a personal chef. By following one of my chef-curated meal plans, the decision on what to cook, what to buy, and how to cook it are taken care of! Meal plans are best suited to clients who both enjoy, and have time, to cook, but the decision fatigue of deciding what to cook often prohibits them from doing more.

about chef/owner Katie Westerlind

I am a personal chef, recipe developer, and avid baker. I discovered my passion for cooking as a teenager, but it wasn’t until many years (and jobs) later that I decided to pursue my love of food as a career. 

In September 2019 I enrolled at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. While continuing to work full time, I finished the Professional Chef’s Program with Honors in Academics during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I started Red Fennel kitchen in 2022 with the goal of helping busy Bostonians keep healthy and delicious meals on the dinner table. Let me do what I love so you have more time to do what you love!

what clients are saying:

  • “Katie's food is healthy and delicious. Having Katie prepare meals for the week for us has been a huge time saver. She is lovely to work with, very responsive and professional. Our dogs also love her! We would not hesitate recommending Katie's personal chef services.”

    -A.K. and N.K.

  • “I didn’t know I needed Katie’s help until I met her - I found myself drained after busy workdays with no time, energy, or desire to cook. She has been such a joy to work with - collaborative, flexible, and friendly. It’s hard to imagine going back to quick-fix meals and food delivery now that I’m used to a fridge filled with nutritious and great-tasting custom meals!”

    -L.D.

  • "Katie came into our lives at a very stressful time. We needed help with tasty, healthy meals to get us through a rough patch. Katie was attentive, warm and thoughtful and meals were delicious! Katie is a true professional."
