  • Food Entrepreneurs unite!

    I have belonged to several Chef organizations and would like to expand the networking to include people who really are entrepreneurs at heart and are foodies!

    I'd like to organize a forum where those interested in local food production could have a place to share ideas on marketing, local sources, packaging or various day to day operations that are unique to the food industry.

  • Hi Everyone! Debra from Seattle area

    I'm a recent new member to Biznik and in the process of expanding my business and growing in new directions. I have been in business since 1997 with a Gourmet Meal Delivery and Catering business - Chef to Go. We offer online ordering for people who are too busy to cook and want to eat well. http://www.mychefdelivers.com

    My new venture is called The Culinary Cooperative. As a chef with a commercial kitchen I was constantly getting requests from people to rent out my kitchen to them as certified commercial kitchen space is very hard to find in the Seattle area. We are in the process of building out a 4400 square foot space that will be able to have about 25 businesses at 6 different cook stations. Our kitchen will be for food entrepreneurs and local culinary artisans who need a place to create their local food products. It's been a long time goal of mine to find a way to give back to our community and The Culinary Cooperative will also be housing a non-profit food based charity. Our first outreach as a group of chefs will be to teach classes to the recipients of the local food banks. We want to show them how to take a few items off the shelves at the food bank and by adding a few fresh inexpensive ingredients, they can create several different healthy meals for their families. Our anticipated launch will be this fall, most likely in November. If you know anyone who needs kitchen space, please send them my way!
