While the ongoing world crisis has brought out everybody's worst fears, it also tickled people's creative side. The lockdown and social distancing have discovered the hidden gems of a new generation of home bakers. You are either baking bread or whipping up desserts and baked goodies.
Which started as a coping mechanism with the quarantine blues, has engulfed millions across the globe. The baking trend took over the internet in no time turning social media into a mini Masterchef competition.
Bread and sugar are two staples for people that act as a warm hug when you most need them. This very reason brought the art of baking, which was earlier reserved to the professionals, to common people at home.
Whether it’s a newly discovered passion or something that you have had in your mind for a while, the timing could not be any more perfect to wear your baker's hat and pursue what you absolutely love to do! Yes, there is a New Normal now and things are not the same, especially in the food industry.
Having said that, it’s important to mention that Restaurants are going to take some time to get back in the game, and that is where homemade food enterprises are going to boom more than ever. Although today, we need to look into alternative options to sell your goodies that are relatively affordable in setup, have lower overheads, safe and quality products to acquire the business, and are a relatively safer bet as an investment into the food business. And, at the moment ‘homemade’ and ‘delivery kitchen concept’is the way to go about it.
Above all, when you have the virtual world at your dispense to make things happen in reality, all you need to be armed with is your passion and the right knowledge to execute the idea successfully.
However, keep in mind that having a passion without a vision is not going to take you places. Taking the right action at the right time is the very first step towards any achievement. There are four important factors when it comes to success - Passion, Vision, Action, and Knowledge. It is important to understand and accept these key points and keep them together because missing any one of these could result in not giving you the desired outcome when cooking a recipe for success.
Speaking of success mantras, it is the gospel truth that knowledge is one of the most powerful factors that give base and shape to your dreams and visions, and it is not any different when it comes to home-based food entrepreneurship as well. Although you are planning to do it all from the comfort of your home, having a recognized qualification could be a real game-changer for you. Mind you, there will be competitors. Constant improvement of your knowledge and skills is the way to career enhancement and sustenance in the kitchen.

If you are still in doubt, understand that food is not a fad; it is a necessity for our physical and emotional well-being and no matter how bad the industry gets affected by external factors it will always bounce back. Therefore, even in the current scenario, there is absolutely nothing more promising than starting a food business from the comfort and safety of your home if you have the zeal for it.
Coming to the job satisfaction aspect, following your passion gives you a sense of purpose and adds meaning to your life. It does not just keep you happy and satisfied but work will never feel like work to you. When you have a passion for it, even work becomes play and sets you onto the path of success and eventually fills your life with happiness and satisfaction.
Even though currently, hospitality has been affected due to the pandemic, food has grown to become a Multi-Trillion Dollar Industry and is expected to grow further even if it has to adapt to the new norms. What most people who love baking or are passionate about patisserie (pastry) fail to realize, is the fact that you can make a professional career out of it!
Baking is very different from cooking, from the way it is made to the way it looks to the way it smells. From the process of measuring, sifting, stirring, and waiting for the dough to rise, to its baking in the oven to slowly filling the house with saturated scents of butter and flour.
From mixing the ingredients to pulling the perfectly golden dough on the pans out of the oven, it is not just baking; it is a way of life.
