The Teaching Kitchen

Training tomorrow’s foodservice and culinary teams!

The TK Difference 

Over 12 weeks, trainees gain expertise in culinary techniques such as knife skills, commercial cooking methods, and ingredient handling. They learn high-volume meal prep while supporting our mission by preparing over 20,000 medically tailored meals weekly for our clients. Trainees also help prepare and package meals for TK Eats, our restaurant-quality, consumer-facing prepared foods service.

Hiring Graduates 

We simplify the hiring process. Our Employment Specialist offers direct referrals, assists with onboarding, and ensures a seamless transition from trainee to employee. Graduates also receive ongoing job retention support to help them excel in their roles. 

Get Involved

Beyond hiring graduates, your involvement helps shape the next generation of culinary talent and strengthens our local food industry. Let’s partner to make a difference! 

  • Host a Trainee for a Stage: Provide hands-on exposure to your kitchen environment. 
  • Be a Guest Instructor: Share your expertise with trainees through a cooking demo or industry talk. 
  • Shape Our Curriculum: Your feedback is invaluable. We encourage employers to let us know which skills, techniques, and teachings will keep TK graduates well-prepared to work in today’s professional kitchens!
