A lovely family in Encino is seeking a part-time chef to prepare nutritious, health-focused meals for two parents and three children. The main service is weekly meal prep (lunches and dinners), with occasional cooking for small-scale dinner parties and events, if the chef is available.
The family is seeking someone with a keen knowledge and passion for prepping health-focused global cuisine with clean, fresh, delicious flavor profiles. The chef must also have knowledge and ability to cook gluten-free meals. The desired candidate is someone flexible, warm-hearted, engaging, and friendly with the family while also maintaining professionalism. Kindness, communication, respect, and flexibility are the basic tenants of the family home. It is important that as an extended member of their household, you feel comfortable, appreciated, and have space to be creative!
Schedule and Responsibilities
The family is flexible on days and times when the chef would come to the home to prepare the meals. Together they would set a scheduled cook day 2x per week where the chef would meal prep a few lunches and dinners to stay fresh until the subsequent cook day. On the day the chef comes to cook, s/he/they will serve a fresh dinner to the family that night.
The chef will also be responsible for packaging and labeling the entrees, providing re-heating instructions, tidying the kitchen after cooking, and notifying the family of any staple items in the pantry or fridge that need to be restocked. The family will purchase those items and provide all ingredients, primarily sourced from organic farms and farmers’ markets.
This is a permanent part time position. Reliable transportation, COVID vaccination and a background check required.
Please send a resume, photos of your food, and cover letter for immediate consideration.
