I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Author NEMO shares the layout needed to run a proper kitchen in the book “The Artisan Workshop.”

THE SYNOPSIS

Dirty and clean never meet: the entire layout of a compliant workshop follows from this principle, from the point where raw materials come in to the one where the finished product goes out.

Six chapters: structural requirements, operational flows, essential equipment and how to choose it, raw material management, temperature control, ergonomic design. With the criteria for separating the changing room from the toilets, and for staying clear of domestic equipment that falls short of the rules.

THE REVIEW

This was a much-needed entry in this vegan cookbook series. Rather than focusing on the business side of opening a vegan kitchen or specific vegan recipes, the author focused on setting up and running one. Being able to maintain health standards and food safety, while also ensuring equipment, cooks, and the raw materials used in these recipes are handled safely, is essential to any kitchen, let alone a vegan business.

The author goes into great detail on how to maintain this kitchen functionality. From making sure all of these materials are safely stored and kept at the right temperature, to making sure each kitchen has the proper equipment, and finally making sure that the kitchen itself has a proper flow so that the people working within it can move from point A to point B without missing a step, the author perfectly outlines the structural and economical aspects of maintaining a proper kitchen.

THE VERDICT

Fulfilling, memorable, and engaging, Author Nemo’s “The Artisan Workshop” is a must-read nonfiction book on vegan kitchens, vegan businesses, and safety standards overall. The insight and knowledge readers gain from this book, and the detailed way the author shares it, will help them set up their own vegan kitchens if they are looking to start a business.
