Wine Director / Instructor The Pantry

  • Date Posted May 01, 2021
  • Location Seattle, WA
  • Category Culinary / Education
  • Job type Full-Time
Company description The Pantry is a gathering place that builds community through food, classes, and shared stories. We believe in cultivating relationships, supporting an equitable food system, creating inspiring food careers, and joyful eating. We do many things: cooking classes that focus on traditional food crafts and techniques, five-course family-style dinners, culinary camps for the kids, power lunches for makers who are itching to enter the food industry, and cookbook-club potlucks, where we pick a cookbook that we're excited about and invite everyone to cook from it. Basically anything we can think of to get our neighbors around the table, breaking bread and building community. Since the pandemic, we have shifted our offerings to include interactive online classes, family-style takeaway meals, and a monthly wine club. Job description
