Everybody knows that a successful gathering of friends starts and finishes in the kitchen. It’s an intimate space where delicious dishes appear while friends visit or new acquaintances are introduced. Often, the space isn’t big enough for everybody. Entrée Kitchen in Carol Stream invites you to take your party on the road.
Entrée Kitchen, known for providing preassembled meals for busy people, is a beautifully-designed venue for private parties. The main event–entertainment–involves putting together delicious entrées to take home and enjoy over the coming weeks, making it the perfect place for your next girls’ night out. An ideal setting for baby showers, corporate and team-building events, singles mixers or Scout outings, Entrée Kitchen is also available for rent to groups.
Groups of 10 more more will prepare dishes to take home for later. Individual choices are pre-selected from an extensive menu, with all fresh, top quality ingredients available to assemble during the party. Choose from innovative dishes, such as maple-walnut roast pork, pretzel-asiago crusted chicken, Italian turkey meatloaf, and many more. Each entree serves six and may be split into two three-serving portions.
Groups enjoy appetizers and desserts during the session, along with beverages. Complete meals may be provided upon request and adult beverages may also be brought in. Each friend receives a coupon for another session at a discount, and the party hostess gets a special bonus discount.
Entrée Kitchen is located in Winfield Crossing, on Geneva Rd., just west of Pleasant Hill, in Carol Stream. To learn more, visit www.entreekitchen.com or call (630) 668-4450.

Diane Beaulieu, a working mom with toddler twins and a four year old, says her family survived and thrived with the delicious meals prepared by Carol Stream’s Entrée Kitchen. “It was the next best thing to having my own personal chef,” she says.
Plum-Glazed Pork Ribs, Chicken Provencal, Honey Barbequed Steak, and Tilapia in Spanish Red Sauce are just a few of the creative October menu items. There are also delicious side dishes, like Asparagus, Smoked Provolone & Bacon, Sweet Potato Souffle, and Sweet Corn Bake. Desserts include Caramel Walnut Apple Pie, Nanaimo Bars, and a variety of cookies.
“Busy people struggle to find the time to plan, shop and prepare meals every day. I depended on Entrée Kitchen to make nutritious meals and keep dinnertime running smoothly.” So, when the business recently became available for purchase, Beaulieu (pronounced bowl-you) and her husband bought it.
Entrée Kitchen offers three ways to obtain these delicious meals, prepped and assembled in their custom-designed kitchen and cooked in yours. Choose between self-assembly, pick-up, or delivery service to your home or workplace. All meals are prepared with fresh ingredients and are designed and packaged for freezing to serve any time. Each meal serves six–but can be split for singles or empty-nesters.
“We use top quality meats and produce,” says Beaulieu. Ingredients are purchased through restaurant suppliers. “All of the recipes are developed in our kitchen, and thoroughly tested, including freezing and thawing, to simulate the at-home experience,” Beaulieu explains.
Free Memberships are available, giving substantial discounts for committing to purchase 9 or 12 orders throughout the year.
Entrée package sizes range from 6, 8, or 12 entrees and, when purchased under a membership program, can cost as little as $2.77 per serving. Entrée Kitchen also features meal Assembly Sessions–geared toward Girls’ Night Out events or Corporate Outings. As with every successful party, the best gathering is in the kitchen. In the sessions, guests enjoy an evening out, prepare meals together, and take home an entree package.
To learn more, contact owner Diane Beaulieu or manager Laurie Nolan. Entrée Kitchen is in Winfield Crossing Center on Geneva Rd., just west of Pleasant Hill Rd. in Carol Stream. (630) 668-4450. www.entreekitchen.com
