My wife who loves baking retired from job and was looking for something to do to bring in extra cash. I bought her this book and she found it very helpful.

After reading the steps laid out in this very well organized and clearly written book, she is now seriously thinking of starting her own business.

This book starts from the very beginning. You get tips about different kitchen set-ups and beginning equipment necessities as well as advancing to finding a special product niche and moving up to an actual baking shop. Very good investment for the money. The worksheets also were helpful.

Thank you Mimi! This is a fantastic book for anyone who has considered starting their own food business but are not sure where to start. The book deals mostly with cooking/baking but the concepts can easily be applied to any production business. Even if your local health department does not allow you to make your goods at home Mimi identifies other options that will allow you to start your business. Everything from making a budget, figuring out the cost of your products, shelf-life, how to name your company/products, and even free recipes are included! Another fantasic feature is the bonus DVD that includes downloadable forms such as a recipe cost calculator, press release template, expense ledgers and much more. Even if you have never considered becoming an entrepreneur this book is so well written and thorough that it might inspire you enough to give it a shot! Again, thanks for writing this food business bible!

I have not finished reading the whole book yet but so far it has given me alot of good info and alot of things to consider. It gives good kitchen options for people in different situations. I think it’s worth buying for anyone considering running a food type business from home.

A good friend gave me this to me and I was impressed with the author’s writing style. She makes it so easy to follow and I would recommend it. (I am now thinking about opening my own business.)
