We're looking for experienced chef instructors who are comfortable teaching any of the following popular international dishes: Handmade Pasta, Pizza, Sushi, Pad Thai, Thai Curry, Ramen, Spanish Paella and Spanish Tapas, French Macaron.
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.
