Now, the details . . .

You have a world of culinary knowledge – so why not share that gift

We can help

You are proficient in many areas in the kitchen. This expertise could be with simple or complex styles of foods and cuisines. This could also be your mastery of special equipment (food processors, pressure cookers, etc.) And don’t think your talents need to be that of a formal culinary arts program. People are fascinated by food. Countless cable food shows wouldn’t survive unless people were looking to expand their own abilities. However, there is a lot to be said about a live classroom setting. Many people are tacit learners – they learn best when they can put hands-on for themselves and/or see a process first-hand.

Small class environments (4-10 participants) allow for a manageable group. Depending on what the subject matter is, maybe each student has a “station”, or perhaps they work in groups of 2-4. Many variables exist – subject matter, exactly what it is that you are trying to teach, the physical space, access to equipment required for that subject matter, etc. Many factors, but we are here so that this process proceeds smoothly.

Regardless of what you are attempting to teach, your expertise and our roadmap for how to assemble and teach a small class is the recipe for success. Some people who are simply a genius in the kitchen are not well suited to teach that information. If you happen to be the type of person who shy’s away from public speaking, are uncomfortable being the center of attention or have other barriers that prevent you from accepting the role as an instructor, then this program may not be of much value to
you.

If you are comfortable being the focus point and explaining as you are doing, then we can assist when the nuts & bolts of organizing small classes. This program fully details how you can effectively provide in-home cooking classes, in-home demonstrations or commercial culinary demonstrations. People from all backgrounds have a growing interest in food, from the simple how-to shows all the way to gourmet creations. You will find an audience for these – but primarily somewhere in the middle.

Consider teaching culinary skills as an additional revenue source. With time and refinement, you could be able and sustain a weekly class. But more realistically, begin this idea with one class a month for starters. And unlike a Personal Chef Service, your client/host will most likely only want your services and class once. Ideally, one or more of your students will want your teaching at their, or another location. Our program will show you how, and you will then take the lead in whatever direction(s) are appropriate. Let us show you the administrative, organization, marketing skills, pricing etc. to compliment the special gift you already have – cooking!

Now for the always asked, initial questions and concerns.

What will you learn from this program, in simple terms

You will learn about requirements, standards, insurance needs, curriculum development, class management, start-up administration, pricing a class and marketing your class.

How long will it take to complete this program?

This is not an exhaustive program, meaning, the materials we provide won’t take months to process, but once you are armed with this program information, it will depend on you to assemble, refine, sell this concept and tweak – realistically this could take a few weeks.

Can I make this a full time career?

If constant, full time culinary class instruction is your goal, you will be best suited to get involved with a formal school setting – at least until you have a solid grasp. Our program will certainly be a step in that direction, however our mission is to prepare you for the smaller, less frequent educational settings and classes in the comfort of a real household kitchen.

What exactly will you be teaching?

The subject matter is wide open, but you need to draw from your own expertise.

A good class will last 90 minutes to 3 hours. Longer than 3 hours will see students fading in their excitement and begin to enter an information overload state. At least 90 minutes is required to go into
the detail that people have paid you for. You can spend quite a bit of time and effort creating a class from square one, but there is a much more effective method. Classes may avail students hands-on involvement, or more traditional class where the student is watching, learning and asking questions as you teach.

What exactly is the Resource Pantry?

As the name implies, your Resource Pantry provides examples of a business plan, accounting record keeping, marketing ad ideas, printable templates, additional details on a number of topics covered in the program, plus real world experiences from active Personal Chefs.

So, just what is Culinary Inspirations, and how is this associated with teaching?

If you love to cook, Culinary Inspirations provides you with a unique opportunity to generate additional income as a Culinary Inspirations Instructor. You can inspire, inform and create rewarding culinary
experiences for your clients, friends and family by teaching In-Home Cooking Classes.

Culinary Inspirations Instructor Manual(s) are able to be purchased by individuals who have first completed the online Teaching Culinary Skills program, which thoroughly details and explains how to become an effective instructor, plus a full section about instructing Culinary Inspirations events.

There is much more to this than just pulling out some recipes and showing a few folks how you make them. A professional instructor makes all the difference in making a class a successful, educational, profitable event. In order to retain the integrity of the Culinary Inspirations brand, and to make you a success – completion of our online Teaching Culinary Skills program is a requirement in order to purchase instructor manuals and curriculum.

The Curriculum

Culinary Inspirations curricula was developed by culinary professionals with careful thought and consideration going into each curriculum as to recipes chosen and workflow needed to maximize your profit and amaze your clients while minimizing the time and effort of the instructor. By using a Culinary Inspirations curriculum, you save the time and effort of researching, developing, testing and organizing the recipes and workflow for a particular theme, cuisine or client request. You can focus on enjoying the cooking and teaching.

A Culinary Inspirations Instructor Manual is your blueprint for a successful class as it comes complete with event overview, learning objectives, timeline, grocery lists, equipment lists, recipes, workflow outline and tons of facts and trivia. Each Culinary Inspirations curriculum can be completed within 90 minutes – 3 hours time frame, depending on complexity of the class selected.

Recipe Cards

Recipe cards are just one of the features that add professionalism and make your presentation distinctive, unique and appealing. Add your contact information onto each card for easy access for participants who wish to book their own fun inter-active event. These recipe cards will undoubtedly be shared with others as their experience is described to friends and neighbors, and again your own promotional machine will be in full swing without you lifting a finger. The combination of a satisfied participant plus professional collateral means excellent and long-lasting word-of-mouth advertising
about you and your truly unique offering.

Culinary Inspirations was developed specifically for teaching a class with 3 or 4 individual yet complimentary lessons/subjects taught in a logical sequence. There are multiple turn-key classes already created – much like a quality recipe is laid out. A start, a middle and a conclusion, with your paying students attentive and actually learning a process which they can go home and duplicate.

We highly recommend you using one of our assembled class curriculums initially. From that point, feel free to create your own class, using our proven instructional template as a guide.

Culinary Inspirations Instructor Manuals and associated materials are available for purchase. You can purchase a single class, and conduct that class as many times as you want. There are recipe cards involved which are intended to go home with each student, so that would be your only extra cost associated with a duplicate class. And of course, you are certainly free to create your own recipe cards and/or handouts. Allow us to lead the way toward an exciting new twist for your culinary talents.
