From Kitchen to Commerce

Enabling women to build home based food businesses

We train, provide free resources, and a digital platform to help women achieve financial independence by selling food from home.

Get started

Many women with exceptional culinary heritage face barriers such as limited business knowledge, regulatory hurdles, and a lack of business support.

Women in Newham carry incredible food traditions passed down through families. These dishes tell stories of migration, identity and community. But turning that heritage into a reliable income is not straightforward. We help bridge that gap.

Ready to trade
Training that protects both heritage recipes and customer safety. Covers food hygiene, allergen management and best practice for home-based cooks.

Business basics
Clear, step by step guidance on registering a culturally rooted food business with the local council, so heritage cooking can be shared legally and confidently.
