Glo Ktchn Debuts Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Meal Service

Specialty Food Association

Glo Ktchn has launched a subscription-based meal service, offering freshly prepared, gluten-free meals inspired by seasonal ingredients and individual nutritional needs, to the New York Tri-State area. Each week, the company creates recipes utilizing flavors and ingredients from around the globe, while also making use of locally-grown and sourced organic foods.

The service offers four meal-delivery plans with weekly updated seasonal menus to choose from. All meals are cooked to order before being sealed and shipped with free overnight shipping.

Glo Ktchn is the brainchild of Creative Table Events caterer, Peter Wojtkunski, who grew up in Poland near the Baltic Sea, and credits his early culinary influences from his grandfather, a local fisherman, and his godmother, the head chef at the iconic Maxim restaurant.

"Our concept is simple, but important: excellent, freshly-prepared gourmet dishes utilizing a global food palate, while making a minimal environmental impact," Wojtkunski explained, in a statement. "We started off with a ‘No Junk’ policy featuring no gluten and no processed sugars, and we use natural sweeteners like local maple syrup or monk fruit. Our menus are exclusively created and curated by globally trained chefs, optimized by our resident dietician, and we have rotating weekly menu options.”

The company uses recyclable/compostable packaging, minimizes its plastic use, provides recyclable cutlery whenever possible, and packs its food with non-toxic gel packs to keep it fresh. The business also gives back to the environment by planting a tree for every food box sold.
