Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Read for New Caterers!
When I made the decision recently to start my own catering business I immediately turned to this book. It's filled with invaluable tips and clear explanations of every facet of the catering business. Vivaldo not only shares her equations for success but also reflects on her mistakes. Her clear and direct style make this book easy to read and understand. I especially appreciated Chapter 5: Setting Prices, Estimating Quantities and Writing Proposals. This section is full of food costs analysis, proposal examples and pricing information. I'm a seasoned cook but I still have a thing or two to learn on the business side. If you're even considering starting your own catering business read this book. Thank you, Diane!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Okay but not exactly what I was looking for
I was interested in starting a part time catering business out of my home. Meaning part-time, cooking in my home. This book was very thorough but pointed out what I had found in the mean time that this is not possible. By working out of your home, this book means that you can run the business aspect (i.e. planning, selling, etc) out of your home. Separate (costly) kitchen facilities are required in most staes. So, while this book was informative for someone who is willing to put their career on the line and solely do catering, it did not work for my purposes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - bunch of ideas
...this book contains a lot of useful information, precautions and advices. The author gives also titles of books that are required for the caterer.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gift for a beginning Chef
