WE FEED YOU LIKE FAMILY

Organic + Seasonal

We purchase directly from farmers in Prince Edward County whenever season and availability allow. This means we know exactly how the food was grown and that it has reached peak nutrition and taste.

Sustainable Protein

We use sustainably sourced animal proteins, including pasture raised beef, heritage pastured pork, certified organic poultry from Yorkshire Valley Farms, wild salmon and locally caught pickerel and perch.

No Processed Ingredients or Refined Sugars

Everything is made from scratch.

We sweeten our baked goods with Ontario maple syrup or local honey.

High Gelatin Bone Broth

36-hour slow simmered bone broth using organic chicken makes up the base of much of our cooking.

Gluten Free, Dairy-Free + Vegetarian Options

We offer a variety of gluten free, dairy-free and vegetarian options on our menu each week.

Non-GMO

Our food is strictly non-GMO. Any corn, soy or other commonly found GMO products are from certified organic sources only.

Sasha - Toronto

When I realize I need to eat and it’s too late to make something, it’s great to open the fridge to freshly prepared fish, chicken, salads and whatever else was ordered for the week!’

Alex - PEC

Always fresh, delicious, delivered on time and never boring. Not having to worry about what to cook for dinner every day is a blessing. Happy we can count on Roots Kitchen! Grateful for Kerri and Sean!

Sam - Toronto

Delicious food and impeccable service and attention to detail. It feels like you’ve got a renowned chef cooking for you personally each week! Honestly, cannot recommend RK more highly, and would encourage everyone to order – these will soon become the meals you look forward to every week!

Mufridah - Toronto

Your meals have been such a life-saver to my spouse and me this school year; my naturopath had recommended you to me last summer to begin dealing with some food sensitivities, but I hadn’t anticipated how much it would also mean to us to have regular, delicious meals after long teaching days, too. Every Tuesday night is such a gift!

Mary - Toronto

RK is a fantastic lifesaver. I now have more time with my family and I have confidence that we are getting nutritious, tasty and inspired meals that everyone enjoys.

Audrey - Etobicoke

I just wanted to thank you for doing the impossible. I actually hide your salads from my husband so I can binge on them. I used to binge on poutine now I binge on salads?!!!

Gillian - Toronto

The only person who I haven’t told my little secret to is my mother-in-law who continues to be awe-struck at what a fantastic cook I am despite my busy schedule!’

Margaret - Toronto

The meals are so nutritious, full of flavour and make me feel satiated every time.  I couldn’t buy meals like this at a grocery store or a restaurant and I sure can’t cook like you. You make it so easy to eat healthy, savory meals without compromising on flavour.

Amber - Toronto

Your bone broth has greatly contributed to my improved health! It’s hard to eat healthy in the fast paced world we live in but RK helps me stay on target with my nutrition goals and because of them I am able to balance work and life and stay on track with my wellness goals!

Nourishing home-cooked meals

Roots Kitchen (formerly Roots of Health) is owned and operated by husband and wife team, nutritionist Kerri Cooper & chef Sean MacFayden.

A self-trained cook, Kerri worked as a personal chef for families and couples in their homes throughout Toronto for over 5 years while building her holistic nutrition practice. She began offering meal delivery options to her nutrition clients as an add-on service. Cooking in her roommate’s home in Kensington market, she would gather the ingredients in the morning from the market shop keepers, prepare, cook and deliver meals to a small group of loyal customers that same evening. This slowly grew into one of the first meal delivery businesses in Toronto. Kerri left nutrition consulting for the kitchen full-time in 2013.

When Sean came on board in 2013, he quickly put his lifetime of experience and natural creativity to work helping take RK to the next level. Sean has worked in kitchens both in Toronto and London, England for over a decade and was head chef at Butchers of Distinction from 2014-2018. You can find one of his savoury pies from the butcher shop featured in Toronto Life magazine.

Over the past 10 years, business has grown organically through word of mouth. Everything is cooked in small batches, using ingredients purchased from farmers, butchers and food suppliers they know and trust.

Our mission is to deliver high quality, delicious and soulful meals, support local & organic farmers and re-connect people to one another over a shared meal.

Roots Kitchen is based in Prince Edward County and delivers to homes and businesses across Toronto, Belleville and Prince Edward County.

$5 delivery flat fee on all deliveries. Toronto delivery zone: east of Kipling and south of Sheppard.

Delivery takes place:

  • in PEC & Belleville on Tuesdays between 10:00am – 3:00pm
  • in Toronto + Durham region on Tuesday between 12pm – 6pm

Meals arrived chilled in a cooler bag

No commitment or subscriptions! Just order when you like.

Roots Kitchen philosophy centers on these 4 principles

Pleasure: We want to exceed your expectations of how good prepared food can be. We handcraft our meals in small batches, using the very best ingredients and lots of fresh herbs and spices, creating absolutely delicious and inspiring meals to enjoy at home.

Nourishment: Our food is local, seasonal and organic where possible.. We use both animal and vegetable proteins; a mix of raw fermented and naturally high fiber foods, and a mineral-rich high gelatin bone broth as a base of our sauces, soups, stews and curries.

Sustainability: It’s important to us to have as much of an environmentally responsible business as possible and to continually increase our use and promotion of sustainable food, product and packaging. We support local organic farmers and local fisherfolk, source local organic products whenever possible and use re-usable, recyclable or compostable materials both in our kitchen and for our meal delivery. Food packaging and recyclables are complicated in food industry today. We’re always on the hunt for better packaging options to be a better example of an environmentally conscious business.

Education: We love educating our customers on where their food comes from, how a local and diverse diet can nourish their bodies and why supporting farmers is important to a heathy future for us and our planet. We want you to be as excited and informed about food as we are! Follow us on Instagram @rootskitchen.ca to learn more.

Beef: Our beef is supplied by Walts Sugar Shack and Edwin County Farms (organic) here in PEC and Butchers of Distinction in Toronto. The cattle are raised outdoors in the warmer months on grass, rye and field peas (this may vary). They are moved indoors in the winter and eat grass silage and crushed barley (this may also vary). We are always looking for more small farm beef suppliers in Prince Edward County .

Chicken: Our chicken is from Prinzen Farms, a local chicken farm here in Prince Edward County.

Lamb: Currently comes from the organic and biodynamic farmers at Cape Vineyards winery. We are always looking for more small farm beef suppliers in Prince Edward County.

Pork: 100% Ontario or PEC pork. All pork is raised without any use of hormones or antibiotics and are from heritage breeds which take longer to raise, leading to more flavor.

Produce: During the growing season we use Prince Edward County Farm Fresh Produce from Edwin County Farms (organic), Hagerman farms, The Elmbrook Farms (organic), Paper Kite Farms (organic) and Laundry’s Farms. We also have a growing amount of organic produce we grow in our kitchen garden, including peas, potato, tomato, kale, chard, garlic, carrot and beet.

Fish: Fresh caught pickerel, whitefish and perch are caught by County Catch in our local Bay of Quinte. We also use wild salmon.

Sprouts: The sprouts and oyster mushroom we use are supplied by The Elmbrook Farm (organic).

Sprouts: We also are grateful for our local grocery stores and produce suppliers in the off-season.
