Summary:
We are looking for an experienced private chef for a warm, easygoing family of three in Rancho Santa Fe, working two days per week to batch cook and freeze meals for the week ahead. The parents follow a vegetarian, whole foods diet built around vegetables, legumes, and grains, while their young child eats meat, so meals should flex to cover both. The ideal candidate cooks clean and healthy, using coconut, avocado, or sesame oil with a light hand on spices, and takes pride in nutritious, from scratch meals that reheat beautifully. This is a long term opportunity for a chef who loves thoughtful meal prep as much as they love a spotless kitchen.

Required Skills:
Responsibilities include preparing breakfast, lunch and dinners through efficient "batch cooking", plus about an hour of grocery shopping, as it will all be 98% vegetables for a total of 2 days per week. Core ingredients include celery, carrots, ginger, garlic, turmeric, tofu, dates, scrambled egg whites, oats, quinoa, beans, rice, millet, bok choy, asparagus, eggplant, and spinach, along with pasta, ground chicken, ground beef, and ground turkey for the little one. Comfort with a mandolin for efficient prep is a plus, and experience with Indian cuisine is highly valued. Candidates must keep the kitchen neat, tidy, and organized at all times, washing dishes before loading the dishwasher, as the family is accustomed to a spotless environment while their chef is in the home. Compensation is up to $1,000 per week for the right long term fit. To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter and photographs of your "art"!
