I have a friend who lives in a very small town and a few weeks ago, when lots of folks were snow bound, she started cooking. She's a fantastic cook and loves to cook for people. She always makes enough to feed an army. So she called a neighbor and told her she had lots of extra and did she want some. The neighbor gave her money to cover the cost of the food. The next day, she did the same with another neighbor. She ended up feeding a different family each day that week because they were snowed in the whole week (she's a teacher and had snow days). She got a letter from the health department that she had to stop. She was sad. They suggested she open a restaurant. She was like "I just want to cook for people, I don't want a business."
I see both sides of it. But, where do you draw the line? What about bake sales? Those happen all the time. I'm not familiar with the law so I don't know when it becomes a problem. Then again, I've had co-workers refuse to participate in pot lucks at work because they don't know what kind of shape other people's kitchens are in!
