Family Chef (Kootenays)

Full-time

AlgaeCal

Do you love cooking with farm-fresh ingredients and making people smile with your delicious dishes? Have you watched “Chef’s Table” on Netflix until you feel like Lennox Hastie and you are besties? Are some of your favorite “novels” to curl up with cookbooks? Do you pity the fools who use store-bought sauces? If that sounds like you, and you’d like to create culinary masterpieces for Canadian entrepreneurs – we’ve got the opportunity for you!

Imagine working your chef magic in the heart of BC’s Rocky Mountains on a 481 acre regenerative farm near Cranbrook, BC.

Your kitchen is in a log building … but this is no trappers cabin! A full commercial style chef’s kitchen attached to the main living quarters will be your nerve-centre.

Your mission will be to evoke mealtime smiles from your new friends, Viv, Dean and 9lb dog, Booboo! They’re busy business leaders (well, maybe not Booboo) who really need your skills to keep them healthy, nourished and effective. The ranch serves as AlgaeCal Inc’s training and planning centre - so teams of 10 to 25 people will be coming in frequently to work and enjoy good food in beautiful natural surroundings.

The team loves a huge variety of organic, local foods and cooking styles with meat, fish, or foul as the main event. Speaking of meat, an authentic Brazilian Wood BBQ combined with Argentinian Assada sits in an outdoor kitchen nearby. And they have a freezer full of elk, deer and wild-caught fish plus they raise their own chickens, ducks and veggies to support you.

Afterall, your cooking is only as good as the nutrient-dense ingredients you have to work with. We are what we eat - so you’ll become a critical part of the AlgaeCal team. AlgaeCal is a natural health company, so to be a fit in this role you will genuinely believe in healthy food choices.

Specifics

  • Position available now, or alternatively in March.
  • Provide a variety of styles of cooking for Viv/Dean along with frequent visits from groups of 10-25 AlgaeCal leaders.
  • Cook and clean up for lunches/dinners 5 days per week.
  • On Fridays, prepare extra meals for the weekend.
  • 90% of food is grown on the ranch
  • Butchering and processing game and fish is a big plus.
  • Preserving, pickling, and canning skills are important. If you can make deli meats, sausages and cheeses, even better!
  • Viv hails from Hong Kong, and she loves every Asian food style - but don’t worry if you don’t have Asian experience. It’s easy to learn! Dean loves nothing better than simple meats and veggies.

Experience 

  • Must be able to cook several different countries/regions favorite dishes.
  • Believer in whole, organic, regeneratively farmed foods. Everything will be made from scratch. We mean everything!
  • Asian cooking experience, BBQ skills, wild game cooking experience is helpful.
  • Butchering and processing game and fish is a big plus.

Salary

Will be above market rate. Let’s discuss this once you show us your skills/experience.

Other Goodies

  • AlgaeCal Acres is 30 minutes from Jaffray, BC and an hour from Cranbrook, so we will provide a vehicle for your work use, or pay by the km to use yours.
  • Full medical/dental benefits package
  • Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use

If this sounds like a position for you, please respond to this advertisement with your resume and cover letter. This is an essential part of your application. We need to make sure you’re a good fit for your sake and ours - that’s why we’ll be paying close attention to your carefully written cover letter.
