ANEU Kitchens
For more than thirty years, ANEU has believed one simple thing: food should nourish your body and taste absolutely delicious. Not one or the other, both. What began at a local farmers market in 1992 has grown into seven kitchens across Pennsylvania's Main Line and the Jersey Shore, and that founding belief still guides every dish we make.

The short version of how a parade-day blender turned into seven kitchens.
Age 8
Outside Dad’s center-city spot, I blended non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiris and piña coladas for the crowds attending the Mummers parade. We still sell a healthy version of those shakes today. By nine I had my own customers, Dad called me his most accurate waitress.
Age 22
I left to go to the University of Pennsylvania to become a social worker. Then Dad got sick. I came home to Fresh Ideas in Paoli, and realized I could combine my love of helping people and food service in one career.
1989
The heart of the farmers market stand, and everything else, was his recipes. From 1989: Richards Chicken, Orzo Salad, California Crunch. They are still in our cases.
Meridith's father
The line the whole kitchen still runs on.
A little kitchen in Chesterbrook turned into farmers-market favorites, then certifications in cooking for health, vegan and macrobiotic cooking, and integrative nutrition. Risotto can feel like a burden, or a meditation. I choose the latter.

Names and addresses changed. The premise didn’t: comfort food made healthier, for this community.
Nourishing wonderful people is only possible with an equally wonderful team. Our kitchens are powered by a talented cohort of culinary creators who are supported by staff who are equally brilliant in food procurement, preparation and presentation, as well as customer care.
All of us come to ANEU Kitchens with a belief that better health can be attained with better food, which should always be readily available and absolutely delicious. This is our “North Star” which guides all that we do for our customers from the Main Line to points beyond. We honor and utilize the strengths of our entire team, to make this ideal possible.
“I attended a media tasting event at ANEU Kitchens in Paoli and it was an amazing experience. It was my first time there, and I already can’t wait to go back! Everything that I tasted was delicious, and there were tons of vegetarian options, which is always a win for me!”

“I cannot say enough about ANEU catering but also their staff. It is rare you find a place that can do A-list on both and ANEU has it down! I cater with them at least 2 times a month, small groups or groups of 85, they get it done. Professional, personable and the best delivery drivers and staff!”

Catering we have served, kitchens we have opened, and the food that comes out of them every morning.
Sixteen articles on eating well, living longer, and the food that makes both easier.
Fundraisers, food truck days, in-store pop-ups and the monthly Longevity Lab.
The Longevity Lab is our monthly wellness gathering: expert-led talks and workshops on food, mindfulness, and living stronger. Come learn something, take home something useful, and leave feeling a little better than you walked in.
Made from scratch every morning, across seven kitchens.
What started as a 1992 farmers market is now seven kitchens, and the same love of good food. Made from scratch, made with care, made for you.
