KP679 - Full-Time Chef - NYC/ LA / Travel

Overview

An (U)HNW international family with homes on both the East (NYC) and West Coast (LA) are seeking a full-time, live-in chef, starting in early July. The expectation is that the candidate will provide breakfast snacks (to be set aside/left in the fridge the night before), lunch (at 12 noon daily) and dinner (5pm daily) for 2 adults and 2 children, 5 days per week - this must include Saturdays and Sundays and the candidate will have 2 consecutive days off in the week. This is a staffed household so the number of adults may vary from time to time. This position requires flexibility to travel between both residences - housing and transport will be provided at both locations.

Responsibilities

• The family follow a strict vegetarian diet so candidates should be able to prepare appealing and balanced vegetarian meals for the whole family.
• Other responsibilities will include keeping the fridges, freezers, and produce cupboards tidy and up to date, keeping track of inventory, grocery shopping (i.e. not every day/not letting food go to waste, etc.), cleaning up the kitchen at the end of each day and generally keeping everything in order.

Qualifications

• 5-8+ years' verifiable experience working in a similar role
• The ideal candidate will approach their work with calm, warmth, and organization - this is a very “zen” but functional household and there is exceptional staff retention.
• The ideal candidate will have a strong focus on using fresh, organic, seasonal produce sourced from local farmers’ markets whenever possible.
• A background in wellness, clean eating, and family-style service is highly valued.

Requirements

• Candidates should be calm, health-oriented and specialize in creating delicious, simple, and elegant vegetarian meals
• Discretion, professionalism, and a positive, warm and easygoing attitude are essential.
• US passport, Green Card or EAC 
• Available to start in early July
• There are cats in the home so candidates should be pet friendly
• Must be flexible and willing to travel domestically and internationally, if required

Salary and Benefits

• $160k+ and full benefits, including healthcare
