Have you dreamed of making money doing what you love to do? It doesn’t have to remain a dream. You can make money teaching cooking classes and become an entrepreneur. That’s exactly what my sister and I did. We stepped out on faith, took one step at a time and opened our own kids cooking school business called The Kids’ Cooking Place.
I wrote this book to share with others who like cooking and wouldn’t mind making money doing something they enjoy. Imagine getting paid for sharing your cooking skills. I can’t count how many times friends or family have asked me to make my chunky chocolate chip pecan cookies for them, requested a copy of my raspberry vinaigrette recipe, or just wanted to observe how I made my grandmothers famous buttery crescent rolls. Why not share your cooking skills while making money teaching cooking classes as a home-based business, a mobile service, or open your own retail space? This book will guide you through the process of turning your start-up idea into a small business.
This book will help you learn what to do and what not to do during the 1st year of your cooking business. We wish someone would have given us this information on things like trademarks and lease negotiations prior to starting our cooking school. This valuable information can save you hundreds of dollars.The cooking business has boomed since the popularity of the Food Network and there is a niche for foodies, kids and budding chefs to learn how to cook. Teaching cooking classes offers several opportunities to expand your business into party planning,cookbooks and workshops.The majority of our profits came from providing cooking birthday parties, girl/boy scout cooking badge workshops, and hosting cooking camps during school vacations. Our book will give you tried and true tips on planning and organizing these special events.
You will also learn the secret to getting a substantial business credit line instantly! By using this simple tip, you will be able to buy large ticket items like professional cooking appliances or bulk cooking supplies to begin your classes as soon as possible.
This book is about dreaming the impossible dream and then making it your reality. Start living your dream today!
