Inside Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s Festive Family Feast Crafted by Their Personal Chef

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed the holiday season with a nourishing and beautifully curated meal prepared by their private chef, Brooke Baevsky, affectionately known as Chef Bae.

Chef Brooke provided an exclusive glimpse into the festive spread she created for their combined family, which includes Kourtney’s children Mason (16), Penelope (13), and Reign (11) from her previous relationship with Scott Disick, alongside Travis’s children Landon (22), Alabama (19), and stepdaughter Atiana de la Hoya (26), plus the couple’s toddler, Rocky (2). From grocery delivery by Erewhon to the final cleanup, Brooke managed every aspect of the celebration.

She began by setting an elegant table for 10 guests, featuring gluten-free gingerbread figures personalized with name tags, mini candy canes, Christmas tree-themed plates, and printed menus outlining the evening’s starters, mains, and desserts.

Before diving into the meal preparation, Brooke crafted Travis’s favorite matcha latte, then moved on to multiple appetizer options, many designed to be gluten- and dairy-free to accommodate Kourtney’s long-standing dietary preferences for herself and her children.

The starters included a refreshing citrus pear and fennel salad, a butternut squash dip paired with twice-baked chili maple sweet potato chips, and festive chickpea focaccias shaped like Christmas trees adorned with cherry tomatoes and herbs—an adorable touch Brooke couldn’t resist sharing.

As the evening progressed, Brooke showcased her culinary skills by preparing the main courses. These featured herby chicken meatballs made with grain-free breadcrumbs, served alongside a roasted red pepper dip and a vibrant microgreens pesto. Additionally, she presented plant-based pumpkin chickpea cakes with lemon aioli—a special dish for Travis—as well as mushroom meatballs paired with a creamy white bean puree.

Complementing the mains were sides such as roasted Japanese sweet potatoes drizzled with herb aioli and chili oil, plus lemon green beans topped with gluten-free crispy shallots.

For Kourtney’s younger children, a customized high-protein, gluten-free mac and cheese was broiled to golden perfection, delighting the kids with their favorite comfort food.

The dessert course balanced festive flair and dietary mindfulness, featuring plant-based Santa hat bonbons crafted from grain- and dairy-free chocolate chip cookies dipped in white chocolate and decorated with natural red coloring and sprinkles. A gingerbread spice cake crowned with dairy-free brown butter salted maple caramel and coconut whipped cream rounded out the sweet offerings.

True to practical family values, Brooke packed the evening’s leftovers into labeled containers, ensuring the nutritious meals could be enjoyed throughout the week.
