Job Description:

A family-friendly and flexible cook is needed for a private household near Stow on the Wold. The family arrives on June 7th; therefore, preparation and shopping are required on June 6th. Accommodation can be provided locally for non-residents. A driver with own car is preferred due to the rural location but is not essential.

The same cook will be needed throughout the stay, with some last-minute lunch/dinner requests. Flexibility is important as daily routines may vary. Daily meal requirements include organic, healthy, seasonal, and sustainable options: breakfast (eggs, fruit, smoothies), lunch (platter-style salads), and dinner (platter-style foods). The family eats early, around 6-6:30 pm. Occasional dinner parties may occur.

The kitchen is central to the home, with family, children, dogs, and staff frequently present. The cook should be friendly, approachable, and comfortable around children and animals. Making drinks when requested is also part of the role.

Responsibilities include menu planning, shopping/ordering, cooking, dishwashing, and kitchen cleaning. Assistance with table setting and clearing is provided by other staff, but teamwork and a 'muck-in' attitude are essential.

Preferred cuisine includes modern styles, fish, vegetables, sushi, Mexican, and Thai dishes, served informally. The household includes two adults and three children, with occasional guests, so flexibility to accommodate last-minute additions is important. The property features a pizza oven and outdoor grill, and the cook should enjoy preparing pizzas and BBQ when weather permits.

Ideal candidates are organized, efficient, friendly, discreet, and team-oriented. Full references will be checked.
