With lockdowns in place, we all started looking for new activities to while away our time while staying at home. One of them which saw a particular rise was cooking and baking. In exploring a new side of our personalities, I saw a lot of people turning into home bakers, chef and solopreneurs. They often would ask me how to continue their passion of cooking/ baking while making an earning out of it. In this blog I will attempt to give a broad idea of how you can set up a food business from home.</p><h1 id="d370" class="nt nu gu bf nv nw nx ny nz oa ob oc od oe of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq bk">So how to start?</h1><p id="c486" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mv mw gu mx b my or na nb nc os ne nf ng ot ni nj nk ou nm nn no ov nq nr ns gn bk">Well, first you should be able to find a niche category in which you intend to set up a food business at home. Establishing a niche is important as it gives you an edge and an idea who your target audience is.
