Chef Instructor

About CocuSocial  CocuSocial is an established culinary experience provider in the U.S. We bring people together through hands-on cooking, baking, and tasting experiences at partner venues across the Orange County. The experience we're creating  Our classes are meant to feel like an outing as much as a lesson — guests come to try something new, in a social, low-pressure setting, at venues worth the trip. Classes are beginner-friendly; most guests have never taken a cooking class before, and that's exactly the point. The role - Plan and lead a hands-on class start to finish - Classes at interesting venues around the city — restaurants, hotels, cafés, event spaces - Groups of up to 26 guests, most often evenings and weekends - In-person only (venue within 30 minutes commute) - Ability to lift up to 50 lbs requiredWhat you might teach  Handmade pasta, French pastry, dumplings, sushi, paella — or a cuisine that's your own. We build the class list around instructors' strengths, not the other way around.
