SAN DIEGO — A local chef is paying it forward. Just a few years ago, she was cooking from home without many customers, but things have changed."There was no business at all. But people never stopped eating. That’s what I went to school for, so I had to find a way," said Aureny Aranda, owner of Au Gourmet.
Aranda began cooking out of her kitchen and was doing home deliveries. She also enrolled in a program that helps home chefs expand their business that The Cook Alliance and several other organizations organize.Aranda also got a $75,000 grant that she used to buy all new equipment and rents a commercial cooking space.Aranda also helps other chefs like her, working from home. She is a strong supporter of Assembly Bill 1325. It was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom.
It allows home-based cooks in California to sell products from their home kitchens. The bill is up for renewal next year. Aranda says she will continue to advocate for home chefs.
