\"\"<\/a>Health-conscious eating meets socially conscious business at Balfour\u2019s Kitchen (balfourskitchen.com<\/a>), a new plant-based-meal delivery service launching in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties later this year. Taking its name from organic food pioneer Lady Eve Balfour<\/a> (1898\u20131990), the new venture will offer a selection of meals in a bowl\u2014such as Cauliflower Shakshuka, Green Pea & Asparagus Soup, and French Ratatouille With Quinoa\u2014which will arrive ready to heat and eat. They\u2019re designed to be mixed and matched to provide what founder Danny Burgner<\/a> says aims to be,<\/p>\n

\u201cthe perfect balance of PFF\u2014protein, fat, and fiber\u2014and of course carbs.\u201d
\nThe company kicked off the test- marketing phase of its charitable model late in 2020 and early this year by donating more than 1,000 meals to Sarah House<\/a>, a Santa Barbara nonprofit that provides residential housing for low- income individuals receiving hospice care, and the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission<\/a>, which provides meals, shelter, and recovery programs to homeless and addicted individuals. And when Balfour\u2019s Kitchen opens its doors: \u201cFor every\u00a0bowl purchased,\u201d says Burgner, \u201cwe\u2019ll give one to a person in need or make the equivalent donation to a food-centered nonprofit.\u201d<\/p>\n
