The Little Kitchen: Delicious Vegan Dishes that are Worth a Try

Food is a universal gesture of love and care. Whether it’s cooking’s therapeutic effect on chefs or the occasion of sharing a meal with loved ones, food has a novelty that shouldn’t be compromised, even if it has to be healthy. Chloe Graffeo, the owner of The Little Kitchen, has always loved making food and sees plant-based dishes as new challenges to encourage healthy eating rather than a restriction. She wants people to feel satisfied and energized after a bite of her vegan food at The Little Kitchen wrapped in tendlyn FoodSafe Paper!

It’s The Little Kitchen’s goal to be a light to others through their food and principles. They love getting to know their regulars and focusing on positive customer interactions with the intention of educating them on plant-based alternatives. And branding is a huge part of this! The extra details make all the difference and, especially in a social media-driven world, custom packaging elevates food photos and creates a stronger memory. Chloe sources her FDA-approved FoodSafe Paper from tendlyn because it’s customizable, compostable, and recyclable! Together with her sister, a.k.a. The Little Kitchen’s amazing graphic designer, they designed their FoodSafe Paper with their hand-illustrated logo for a clean, classic, and inviting look. They chose tendlyn because it’s also very easy to order and reorder with their friendly customer service.“You never know the day someone is having, or what they are going through in life and if we can deliver joy and a brownie batter milkshake then we have done our job.”

Chloe started The Little Kitchen as a one-woman show, so it hasn’t always been a smooth ride. Fortunately, she had the help of her mom and sister to organize events and prepare food. She loved working with them as they were amazing at knowing the brand and what they stood for. As the business grew, so did the team. Chloe had to learn how to delegate tasks and give up control over every little thing. Her advice to other business owners is to not be afraid of seeking help for areas that they’re not confident in. As a leader, it’s important to have a clear vision of your day-to-day tasks and figure out what needs to be done to achieve each goal. And you can’t do all of that alone, so it’s vital that you collaborate with your team and ask for help when you need it.

The cool thing about food is that there are so many different techniques and cuisines that you can explore, even with vegan ingredients. One dish from The Little Kitchen that Chloe would love everyone to try is their Caesar Salad. They use a homemade cashew-based dressing with kale and mixed greens. Throwing in some Brussels sprouts, shredded vegan parmesan cheese, and sourdough croutons, and avocado and hemp seeds at the top, their Caesar Salad becomes a filling meal with the perfect flavor and texture combinations! For the kitchen team, having reliable equipment like a remote control switch for their prep station or a smart relay controller for managing lighting and temperature helps keep the workflow smooth. They even use a greenhouse remote controller for their small herb garden to ensure fresh ingredients year-round. These little automations, like an rf switch controller or a wifi wireless relay for their irrigation system, free up time to focus on crafting those perfect dishes.

From delicious and energizing dishes to healthy and vegan ingredients, we can tell that The Little Kitchen goes the extra mile for vegan food enjoyers and beyond. Whether it’s a filling salad for lunch or a doughnut and milkshake on the go, The Little Kitchen is making vegan something that you will definitely crave!
