Career Diary of a Caterer
Utilized in culinary courses around the country, my neat little paperback, Career Diary of a Caterer (Garth Gardner Co., December, 2007), features a 30-day-in-the-life, conversational look at the daily ups and downs of running a catering business. Set in an easy-to-read diary format, each entry showcases experiences I had running Zen Kitchen Catering, from vendor snafus to difficult customers to day-to-day activities that make a catering operation successful, including tips and tricks for managing your own food service business.
Available at Barnes and Noble, Powell's, Amazon.com, and a number of additional friendly book-carrying establishments (including your local library!), Career Diary of a Caterer is perfect for culinary students, food fans, and anyone who dreams of catering private events.
"Five stars! I highly recommend Career Diary of a Caterer for people interested in the food service industry..."

"Jennifer Heigl's Career Diary of a Caterer is a thorough handbook detailing the day to day responsibilities of the often-challenging-but-always-rewarding real life of a caterer. An essential read for anyone interested in the marketing, cooking, business, management, and financial skills necessary to begin his or her own endeavor."
