Meet the CK Team

Courtney Doyle

Chef/Owner

Courtney Doyle, born and raised in Seattle, Washington, is the owner of Clandestine Kitchen, LLC (CK). CK, the premier home & corporate healthy meal delivery service on Boston’s South Shore, was born from Doyle’s desire to share her love of food, passion for cooking, and dedication to nutrition and healthy living with her community. A lifelong athlete with a heart for community service and family, Doyle relocated to Hingham, MA from San Francisco, CA where she had furthered her interest in the culinary world and was exposed to clean, organic food and holistic life practices well ahead of the movement that had seemingly just made its way out to the east coast. Surrounding herself with mentors, in and out of the kitchen, Doyle’s passion to create healthy food that embodies all areas of self-care, nutrition and healthy living practices, have come to fruition with CK. A wife, mom of 3 (5 counting her yellow Labs, Jaxson and Bailey), former marketing and communications professional and activist for her community, Doyle spends her time outside of CK on the sidelines of her children’s sports games, exploring menus at restaurants with her husband, traveling, enjoying live music and breathing in the moments that make your body and soul feel alive, strong, and capable. A former basketball player, Doyle is particularly passionate about creating food for clean energy, body restoration, and the power of engaging the mind to channel the power of positive thinking and clear vision. Doyle believes that the only way to truly ‘glow’ as a human being, is to love yourself, fuel your body with the nutrition and wellness it needs, find the light in others, and that a beautiful and honest smile really can change the world.
