Although the concept of this book is appealing, it is ILLEGAL by health department standards to cater from any home kitchen UNLESS it is fully licensed and certified as a commercial kitchen. Hopefully, this author is not giving permission to folks to attempt to cook and deliver food from home kitchens, which is completely against health department rules.

This book is Great! Great! Great! I got it for my partner because I it was something she wanted to do.When I found out that Denise went to CCA (California Culinary Academy)in San Francisco like my partner I new that this book would be great for her. When I told her about it she got so excited that she couldn’t wait so we had to go buy it at the bookstore. So far this book has great information.From averages on getting a business license to the supply’s you should have to start of. I covers all the little things that you might not even think of when your starting a catering business for the first time. Denise if you your reading this Priscilla and Natalie will definitely be at your seminar in LA next year

The book was very informative in reference to the documentations /paperworks needed to control and be a success in this type of business. I am looking for a more technical book on catering, since i did not go to school to learn catering. I love to cook and people ask me to cook for them for small parties. I am actually looking for a book that would help me learn more about average portions of food (meat, vegetables, pasta) and do conversions to larger groups….etc.

Let me start by saying that this book has some useful information if you know nothing about catering. My biggest complaint is that there is no such thing as a home based caterer. In nearly every state, town, and rural township in the country, it is illegal to run a catering business out of your house. Just keep that in mind when you buy this book.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for a new Chef interested in starting their own catering business. So far they love it and find it very helpful.
