Freelance Chef / Culinary Instructor - French cuisine cooking class

Please only apply if you are already based out of Nuremberg or nearby & have experience in French cooking.

We are launching Atelier Cuisine, a hands‑on cooking program in Nuremberg designed to help participants build confidence in the kitchen and learn practical cooking skills. While our current pilot focuses on cooking fundamentals (French inspired), the program is designed to expand to all types of cuisines, cooking techniques, and audiences, including individuals, small groups, and corporate team‑building events.

Courses are small‑group and hands‑on, teaching skills that participants can repeat at home. Current focus includes a beginner bootcamp course covering knife skills, sauces, eggs, meat, vegetables, pasta, simple desserts, and approachable plating/dressage. The exact themes are still to be defined for the pilot course according to demand & chef skills.

• Teach pilot cooking classes on a full day (up to 12h, possibly less if multiple chefs with different specialties)
• Collaborate with the founder to align and refine the curriculum and menu; a base program will be provided (objective 1 cooking class of 2–3h around 1 theme, 2‑3 dishes)
• Ensure participants gain practical skills, confidence, and understanding of fundamental cooking techniques in a relaxed and fun atmosphere
• Maintain a professional, calm, and structured learning environment
• Dates: June (tbc) on a Saturday or Sunday
• Location: Nuremberg (professional kitchen, fully equipped)
• Group size: 6–8 participants max
• Compensation: Competitive hourly freelance rate
• This role is ideal for an experienced chef who enjoys teaching and mentoring, is excited about building a structured, scalable cooking program, and wants to help shape the future of cooking education for a wide audience.
