About this listen

What is the secret process for turning your food product idea into a shelf-stable manufactured item? Having a business plan is one thing, but the magic happens in the food science laboratory! The technical part of the food industry has always been a mystery because most food scientists work directly for food companies and are not allowed to share proprietary methods or know-how.

As a 25-year veteran food scientist, I have helped many aspiring food entrepreneurs understand the technical steps needed to bring an idea from kitchen to market.

The Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs explores these concepts:

  • Sourcing ingredients
  • Finding co-manufacturers
  • Creating food prototypes using weights and percentages (no tablespoons and teaspoons!)
  • Avoiding food safety disasters like microbial growth

The Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs guides entrepreneurs through the technical process of formulating a commercial recipe, which is very different from the recipe you are making at home. This book gets into the nitty-gritty, hard-to-find information related to FDA regulations, food safety, shelf life testing, and how to create a “formula”.

It is not possible to find all the information in this book online. Most of it comes directly from experiences working in the food industry. I am happy to share this hard-to-find information with you in an organized, step-by-step process.

For those who are buying this audiobook, the live links are available via a separate accompanying PDF download on Audible. I update the HTML links regularly to ensure they are current.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Monotone half -paced delivery

Would you try another book written by Rachel Zemser or narrated by Robin Brooke?

God no.

Has The Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs put you off other books in this genre?

yes

What didn’t you like about Robin Brooke’s performance?

so boring, didn't engage. I was so looking forward to this book but felt like jumping off a bridge after the first half an hour

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs?

Just be animated in delivery. This stuff isn't boring unless you deliberately go out of your way to make it so.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
