Inna’s Kitchen

Inna’s Kitchen Culinaria is a Newton prepared-foods shop making frozen soups and entrees, deli salads, breads, baked sweets and Jewish specialties, all from scratch. The kitchen is dedicated gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free, and certified Kosher Pareve, which makes it a resource for people avoiding those allergens or keeping kosher. Customers can pick up fresh items made every other week, browse the frozen selection, or order holiday catering and seasonal specials.

Owner Alex Khitrik and Inna opened the business together in 2011. When Alex continued it without Inna, the business was reshaped around environmental values, dropping beef and poultry in favor of plant-based and pescatarian dishes and adding wholesome gluten-free breads that Alex is especially passionate about. The kitchen now mills fresh whole grains into flour, uses organic sugar, chocolate and coconut products, and has switched to recyclable and compostable packaging.
