2. The idea of becoming an Entrepreneur after finishing your culinary education is not new to most of us. Although it
requires a lot of patience and knowledge about the business aspects, there’s absolutely nothing more satisfying than

scale food production unit from home, wouldn’t be a bad idea to go about it as a beginner.

print media exclusively dedicated to food. If you know food and have some flair for writing, then that’s all you need to
