The Chef will play an integral role in managing the culinary needs of the household, preparing meals that not only meet but exceed expectations. The focus will center on light Mediterranean cuisine, seafood, and minimal meat dishes, catering to the couple's preferred dietary tastes and lifestyle. This position requires the ability to create nutritious, delicious, and visually appealing meals five nights a week, with occasional lunches also prepared upon request. Shopping for groceries and household supplies will be a part of the daily responsibilities, ensuring the kitchen is always stocked with fresh and quality ingredients. Maintaining cleanliness and organization in the kitchen and pantry area is critical to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable cooking experience.
Beyond technical culinary skills, the ideal candidate will have previous experience as a chef or in a similar professional culinary role. Exceptional cooking capabilities across a variety of cuisines, with a strong emphasis on Mediterranean flavors and seafood, are essential to thrive in this position. Proficiency in English is required to effectively communicate and coordinate with the household members and any additional staff, such as the employed housekeeper dedicated to the main home. A background or experience with yacht cuisine is considered an advantage, highlighting the upscale and potentially dynamic nature of the role.
The position offers competitive compensation, with a salary of up to $130,000 per year. Additional benefits include the use of a car for work-related tasks, providing convenience and flexibility for grocery shopping and supply runs. The Chef will be entitled to two weeks of vacation annually, alongside two regular days off each week (Tuesday and Wednesday), supporting a healthy work-life balance. Medical benefits are potentially available, enhancing the overall compensation package and providing additional security and support.
This role is ideal for a culinary professional who not only excels in cooking but also thrives within a private household setting. The ability to work independently while maintaining impeccable standards for food quality and kitchen management is crucial. Joining this distinguished estate presents a rewarding career opportunity to practice one’s craft in a peaceful, upscale environment, ensuring a blend of professional growth and personal satisfaction. Candidates who take pride in their culinary artistry, value routine and structure, and can anticipate the needs of their employers will find this role exceptionally fulfilling and mutually beneficial.Show Less
