This weekend on KPCC’s Off-Ramp, I talked to breadmaker Mark Stambler and California Assembly Member Mike Gatto about the in-the-works legislation to legalize “cottage food” businesses—breadmakers, nut roasters, and other creators of non-dangerous food items for sale. The whole issue first came to head when Stambler appeared on Off-Ramp; then Eat LA contributor Jenn Garbee did a feature story on his homemade bread for the Los Angeles Times; and then he got shut down by the Health Department. Gatto read about it and was appalled, and the rest may become legislative history.
