Build Something Real With Us
Come Cook Up Your Future
We're not looking for perfect people. Just folks who genuinely love teaching home cooking and believe everyone deserves to feel confident in their own kitchen. If you've ever helped someone nail their first roast or watched their face light up when bread actually rises—you know what we're about.
What Working Here Actually Feels Like
Most days start with coffee and someone asking if anyone's tried that new technique for caramelizing onions. We spend a lot of time figuring out better ways to explain things—because "just eyeball it" doesn't help when you're new to cooking.
Our team includes former restaurant cooks, home bakers who got really into it, and one person who used to teach high school chemistry. The chemistry background comes up more than you'd think, honestly.
We test recipes until they work for actual home kitchens. Not fancy equipment. Not professional ovens. Regular stuff that regular people have. And when something doesn't work, we go back to the drawing board instead of blaming the student.
Open Positions Right Now
Applications reviewed on a rolling basis through April 2025
Home Cooking Educator
Lead hands-on cooking sessions for beginners. You'll be teaching fundamentals—knife skills, sauce basics, how to actually tell when something's done. We need someone patient who remembers what it felt like to not know this stuff.
Express InterestRecipe Developer
Create and test recipes that work in real home kitchens. You'll adapt traditional techniques for people who might only have one good pan and limited bench space. Previous teaching or recipe writing helps.
Express InterestKitchen Skills Assistant
Support workshop sessions by helping students during hands-on practice. You'll answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and keep things running smoothly while the main instructor leads. Great entry position for aspiring educators.
Express InterestMeet Some of the Team
These are two of the people you might work alongside. They came from different backgrounds but share the same belief—that cooking shouldn't feel intimidating or out of reach.
Callum Thornbury
Lead Cooking Instructor
Spent fifteen years in commercial kitchens before realizing he preferred teaching over service pressure. Now focuses on helping people understand why techniques work, not just following steps blindly.
Henrik Lund
Recipe Development
Started as a home cook who documented everything obsessively. Joined us in 2023 after his detailed recipe notes kept going viral. Specializes in making complicated dishes actually doable.
What We Actually Offer
Professional Development Budget
Annual allowance for courses, workshops, or conferences. Last year someone used theirs for a fermentation masterclass. Another person took a food photography course.
Flexible Schedule Options
Most teaching happens evenings and weekends because that's when students are free. We balance that with flexibility during the week and encourage proper time off.
Recipe Testing Perks
You'll get to take home whatever we're testing. Sometimes that's amazing. Sometimes it's the fourth version of something that still needs work. Either way, you won't go hungry.
Collaborative Environment
We actually mean it when we say team input matters. Monthly sessions where everyone shares what's working and what's not. Ideas from assistants have changed how we teach basics.
