Can I save the receipts and submit them as continuing education relevant to my food business? I'm not talking about buying books for general cooking. I'm talking about specific culinary literature such as instructions for smoking foods, making emulsions, sauces, pairing spices, etc. I've bought about $1000 worth of books in the last year to read up on how-tos of the kitchen world. Just curious if these are somethings that others have been able to write off or if you tried it and were shot down by the accountant?
