home cooking – Oakland North

Hai Ngoc Lam, the home cook behind Eating Saigon, in his North Oakland kitchen. He sells meals prepared here to his neighbors every week.

A state bill allowing cooks to sell their homemade meals passed, but Alameda County remains undecided on the issue.

Josephine, an Oakland-based food startup, lets home cooks profit from their culinary creations by selling to their neighbors.

This startup’s goal is to ensure the future of home-cooking, connecting local chefs to a hungry community.
