the Kitchen
by Cooking with Que
The Kitchen by Cooking with Que is Detroit’s first health and wellness hub powered by food. Founded by Chef Quiana “Que” Rice, The Kitchen blends plant-forward meals, community education, and real connection — all under one roof.
Open to the public Fridays and Saturdays as a small café, The Kitchen offers catering (with full mobile bar + bartender service), meal prep, wellness workshops, cooking classes, and team-building events that feed both body and soul.
Through partnerships with wellness professionals and intentional programming like our Wellness Served series and Kitchen Talk live recordings, we’re making healthy living accessible, engaging, and joyful for everyone.
This is more than food.
This is The Kitchen.
About us
The Kitchen by Cooking with Que was born out of a simple but powerful mission:
to teach people how to eat to live.
What started as a dream by Chef Quiana “Que” Rice has now become Detroit’s first wellness-centered kitchen — a space where food, faith, and community come together.
We’re not your typical café.
Yes, we serve delicious, plant-forward meals on Fridays and Saturdays. But that’s just the beginning. The Kitchen is where people come to heal, to learn, to connect — and to be reminded that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.
What We Offer:
🥗 Healthy Meal Prep – No cooking, no stress. Just heat, eat, and feel good.
👩🏾🍳 Interactive Cooking Classes – Learn to love food that loves you back.
🍽️ Catering + Mobile Bar Service – From private dinners to corporate events, we bring the full experience to you.
🤝 Team-Building Events – Build stronger teams through the power of shared meals and mindful conversations.
🩺 Wellness Programming – In partnership with medical experts, we help bridge the gap between food and health.
At The Kitchen, we believe that food should taste good, feel good, and do good. Whether you're dining in, joining a workshop, or booking us for a private event, everything we create is rooted in love, purpose, and whole-body wellness.
Come hungry. Leave full — mind, body, and soul.
This is The Kitchen by Cooking with Que.
Where wellness is always on the menu.
