Our team of Chef Instructors based in 17 different cities across the U.S. and the variety of different cooking classes and experiences offered through our platform reflect our philosophy that through food, we can come together and connect with one another - regardless of differences in culture, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

We're looking for experienced chef instructors who are comfortable teaching any of the following popular international dishes: Sushi, Dumplings, Pad Thai, French Macarons, Choux Pastry, Spanish Paella and Spanish Tapas. We also welcome mixologists and sommeliers to teach classes as well!
The instructor will be responsible for leading and organizing the entire class, including purchasing ingredients, setting up (according to social distancing guidelines), teaching each dish step-by-step in a hands-on manner, and cleaning up.

-An experienced chef instructor with at least 2 years experience teaching recreational cooking classes
