Chef -
Kensington
Dedicated chef is required for a busy
household situated off Kensington High
Street. The Patrons require a chef who will
work a 7 day on, 7 day off roster. The
Patrons enjoy a varied and imaginative diet,
but do require gluten free cooking
with limited dairy products etc. They admit
to embracing the latest food fads, including
Macrobiotic diets, so their chef must
embrace the latest ideas about food and
diets with enthusiasm rather than dread!
The chef must be free for occasional travel
to locations in America & France. Knowledge
of spoken French would be a good advantage.
The other chef is Canadian, but was trained
in Europe - so has a wide breadth of
knowledge.
Candidates must love their trade, and must
be able to work in an almost call-order
environment, not only cooking for the
patrons and their guests, but also staff,
nannies and the employer's child.
When on duty, hours can be quite long, and
their is a requirement for the chefs to keep
their own kitchen clean - so the day is not
finished when dessert goes out - there is a
responsibility to leave the kitchen spotless
at the end of the day.
Additionally, the kitchen is the centre of
the house, with members of family and staff
congregating there for coffee and snacks
etc, therefore the chef must be receptive of
this situation. Finally, the Patrons wish to
maintain a friendly, bright, cheerful,
home - so candidates who are not naturally
friendly and cheerful (even when the going
gets tough) will not not work out.
Salary £40 - £45k max. Start ASAP. Email resume to
