Continuing Education

I am thinking about taking some continuing education courses at Lonestar College. I am looking at their hospitality program, marketing and sales program, and entrepreneurship program. I might even take a website building program.

Even though I don't think that a full fledged formal culinary school is right for me, I do want to at least take some cooking classes. I have found some at Central Market, Sur la Table, and at Whole Foods. I am sure that there are more out there, so I will continue to look for cooking classes around the Houston area.

Also, I was looking at books about starting a catering company. I was thinking about getting the Complete Idiot's Guide to Catering, but it turns out that no such book exists. So instead I found these books on Amazon.com.


Start & Run a Home-Based Food Business


I want to start work on my menu soon, but more on that later.

Where it all Begins

Lately I have been realizing that I need a change of pace. It is not necessarily a change of scenery, but definitely a change of routine. I have decided that I will begin that process of opening my own catering company, to be called Di Bonassini's Catering.

That being said, this blog will serve to chronicle the events leading up to the opening and creating of the catering company.
