Home Cooks Can Now Sell Meals Out Of Their Kitchens, But Only In Riverside County
Last year, California passed a new law allowing home cooks to sell meals prepared in their own kitchens.
But, unless you live in Riverside County, don’t get too excited about turning your kitchen skills into a lucrative side hustle. Every other county in the state has so far declined to move forward with permitting for home cooks.
