Here since day one

The COOK Alliance is the leading voice for home food entrepreneurs in the United States. Our groundbreaking 2018 home cooking legislation (AB 626) created a “Microenterprise Home Kitchen” permit in California— the first of its kind in the nation allowing home cooks to sell all types of prepared foods to the public. We are expanding the movement across the nation to protect home chefs, lower the barrier of entry for food businesses, and stimulate economic development.
