Who we are
Social Skillet is a hands-on cooking education program that uses food as a pathway to confidence, leadership, communication, and connection. We teach people of all ages how to grow, not just as cooks, but as collaborators, teammates, and leaders.
Founded by Dr. Talia Ortega, Social Skillet blends culinary education with research-based teaching practices that support social-emotional learning and community building. Through joyful, interactive cooking experiences, we help kids, seniors, teams, and communities learn new skills and strengthen the bonds that matter most.
