About
Hi I'm Carlita! I'm a personal chef who specializes in vegetarian/vegan meals, weekly meal planning and meal preparation. My comprehensive home chef services focus on nutrition with creative simplicity. Personal chef services provide a spectrum of options: from perfectly portioned dinners for 2, to weekly meal service for a full house, to hosting a weekend getaway with friends, Carlita's Kitchen does it all. Using only the freshest whole foods ingredients and diverse recipes, healthy is made easy in Carlita's Kitchen.
Carlita's Kitchen started in 2020 in Washington, DC. When food insecurity and nutrition accessibility needs spiked amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Carlita's mission was clear. From a humble studio apartment, Carlita's Kitchen was formed to provide healthy, nutritious meals to families in need. Since then, Carlita's Kitchen has grown to provide meal services to all walks of life. Now based out of Los Angeles, Carlita's Kitchen supports high performing individuals, active families, and private groups for retreats, festivals, and community gatherings.

Carlita’s food was super yummy and a new spin on traditional classics. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into their meals. Can’t wait for our next meal from Carlita!

I ordered a couple months worth of Carlita's food while I kicked off my fitness journey. I wanted something vegetarian and gluten free, something I am not too familiar with. Carlita was incredibly kind and helpful with my needs and I was able to not only kick off my fitness journey but also learn a lot about the foods I was eating. Thank you Carlita!
