About With Flour in Her Hair

With Flour in Her Hair is a farm-to-table catering company, café, and event space in Lynn, Massachusetts, founded by chef, photographer, and recipe developer Brita Potenza. Born from the belief that the good things in life ought to be shared, the business specializes in curated dinners, heritage grain pastries, cakes, and special occasion desserts — all rooted in seasonal ingredients and deep relationships with local farmers, makers, and growers. Furthermore, no two menus are ever the same; each one is designed to reflect the client and their event.

Our Experience

Brita brings a lifelong connection to food and community to everything she creates — shaped by a Danish immigrant mother, two Italian grandmothers, and a father who believed the kitchen was a place for free expression. With Flour in Her Hair has grown from a catering practice into a full community hub, with a café, a curated in-house market, cooking classes, community dinners, and a growing line of pantry goods. Additionally, Brita’s background in food photography, recipe development, and food writing gives the business a creative depth that extends well beyond the kitchen.

With Flour in Her Hair Catering

Every catering experience begins with a conversation and ends with a menu built entirely around the client, the season, and the occasion. Drop-off service covers intimate gatherings, family dinners, and gift meals for those in need — including meal trains and postpartum packages. Moreover, full-service catering brings a restaurant-quality experience to any location, with plated, buffet, and family-style options available for everything from dinner parties to nonprofit fundraisers.

Bakes, Cakes & Specialty Desserts

All pastry and pie dough is made by hand using organic, U.S.-grown heritage grain flours, local butter, and pasture-raised eggs. The cake menu spans signature layered cakes, tea cakes, and seasonal wedding cakes — each designed around the celebration and what is in bloom at the time. Additionally, the pastry collection includes scones, galettes, hand pies, quiches, seasonal muffins, and a beloved rotating cookie of the month.

The Café & Lillemor Market

The With Flour café in Lynn is open to the public on Thursdays and Saturdays, offering pastries, coffee, soups, pot pies, quiches, and grab-and-go dinners made fresh each week. Tucked inside the café is Lillemor Market — meaning “little mother” in Danish — a small in-house market offering pantry staples, house-made jams, granola, spice blends, vintage kitchenware, and thoughtfully curated gifts. In addition, a weekly pre-order menu is available online for Thursday pickup or North Shore delivery.

Event Space & Community Programming

The With Flour space accommodates up to 75 guests and is available for private dinners, corporate events, baby showers, nonprofit fundraisers, and intimate celebrations of all kinds. Wine nights are held every third Thursday of the month with a full dinner menu. Consequently, the space has become a genuine gathering place for the North Shore community — exactly what it was always meant to be.

What Makes With Flour in Her Hair Special

With Flour in Her Hair is not a catering company that happens to have a café — it is a full expression of a philosophy. Every decision, from ingredient sourcing to menu design to the market on the shelf, reflects a commitment to local farming, seasonal cooking, and the belief that food is how communities stay connected. Meanwhile, Brita’s hands-on approach to every aspect of the business — the baking, the cooking, the photography, the storytelling — gives With Flour a warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated.
