Food Made With Love - Taste T's Catering and Events
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tamia Berry, Founder of Taste T's Catering and Events, located in Revere, MA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is Taste T's Catering and events. As I just have started, a lot of my customers are coming from social media advertising such as social media as well as word of mouth and personal promotion. I am a local black business that is trying to serve my community but also reaches a wider demographic of people as my business expands.
Tell us about yourself
Hello! I am originally from Boston, Ma. I am trying to fulfill my destiny of spreading love and grace through food to my community. I graduated from Culinary School in 2018, where I learned the importance of presentation and sanitation in the kitchen. My main principle in cooking is to provide a clean and safe environment to create great food, as well as present the recipe in a way that expresses the love we put into every item on the menu. I am building this catering business in honor of my Father, Chef Tony Berry, who inspired me to get into the culinary field many years ago. My Cape Verdean heritage, as well as the Disney movie The Princess and the frog, greatly inspired me to chase my dream of being a Chef. I would love to cook for you and your loved ones.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Cooking for a celebrity called " don't call me white girl," which has its own social media and podcast platform.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Believe in my talent and skills through my mistakes. Betting on myself.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Put yourself first; the same amount of time you put in at work for others, you must put into working for your own business.
- Bet on yourself! Don't wait for anyone to believe in you and your dreams.
- Never give up!
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I am truly honored to be a part of this opportunity and hope it inspires a young black woman to be all she dreams of being.
