How much money can a home cook make?

Because Famishly is free to join with no monthly fees, there is no overhead to cover before you start earning.
Do I need a licence to sell home-cooked food?
Whether you need a licence depends on your province, your municipality and the type of food you sell, so check your local cottage-food and home-kitchen rules before you start. Famishly asks cooks to follow the food-safety rules that apply to them.
