Chocolate bonbons. Vegan mint chutney. Ghanaian hot sauce.
These are just some of the many artisanal delights being produced and packaged right here in Mamaroneck’s Cook & Bake Center, a certified kitchen for rent on Mount Pleasant Avenue.
Owner Janine Goldentaier has taken her culinary education, professional training and her life’s passion for food to create a place where like-minded foodies can realize their dreams.
“The Cook & Bake Center is a licensed and certified kitchen available for rent by professionals in need of a properly equipped industrial kitchen,” she said. “This includes caterers, cooking instructors and small-business owners who manufacture and pack their creations sold mostly in farmers’ markets, local gourmet stores, or online.”
Renamed three years ago, The Cook & Bake Center currently has about 40 tenants who occupy the space on a rotating schedule. They pay $22 an hour for use of the equipment (Goldentaier provides training) and an additional $10 for sanitizing products and garbage removal.
