Chef G — LaRonda Woods-Graham

Chef G has been in the kitchen since before she could reach the counter. By three years old she was watching her grandmother cook. By eight she was making biscuits from scratch. By twelve she was baking layered cakes without a recipe card. That foundation became a catering business. Then it became Seasoned Cafe and Catering.

What makes her perspective rare is the combination: mastery of the craft and command of the business. More than twenty years of business ownership, small business consulting, and tax preparation sit behind everything she teaches. She has negotiated leases, survived failed inspections, made payroll when the numbers were tight, and still opened the next morning ready to serve.

This book, this course, and this workbook exist because she needed them years ago and they did not exist. They are the real, practical, honest guide she wishes someone had handed her.
