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.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
