Thanks everyone..my husband is a Civil Engineer with the DoDAF, we just arrived in England(Littleport)about 6 months ago. We spent 3 years in Germany. I cater out of my home to a small clientele. I basically cook meals for them for 1 week, but do special orders and have special goodies on sale at pick up time. I set my own menu and prices and the clients choose from that. In Germany I had a client base of 31 every week, here I have 4, but have just gotten started.
I also cook, can and bake for those stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan and ship once a week. So I am always looking for great recipes that can handle extreme heat, cold and travel.
During the "seasons", I can, dehydrate, freeze, smoke, grill, etc. I then sell these items off an updated list according to the seasons. My latest fancy is pickling! I am pickling everything, HA!! I love to make summer veggie and fruit trays that are not the old standard celery and carrot sticks with ranch dip. I like to have fire balls, sweet 'n sour pineapple sticks, pickled apple slices, sugared jalapeno's, etc.
I have spent the last 8 years writing and rewriting a cookbook....I am still working on that.
My chefs hat off to you! My nephew loves baking too, mostly pies, and is now cooking for a restaurant in charge of grilling.
