The style of cooking is healthy "Middle American" comfort food. Recipes are tailored for the masses. An interest in healthy food is essential and those without strict dietary constraints are preferred.
Duties will likely include (but are not limited to) assisting the chef in developing, creating, writing and testing recipes; prepping and cooking for food shoots before and on-set (such as segments for Dr. Oz, The Doctors, America Now, live news channels, talk shows, etc.), food styling; calculation of nutritional data (on a computer program, which you will be trained on), doing dishes and light cleanup, and baking some of the chef's signature desserts for drop-offs to studios and executives. You will help coordinate and execute food shoots (television and photo), as well some kitchen management work. You will also coordinate tastings, grocery shop and be responsible for keeping the kitchen stocked, assist in procuring samples of various foods, working as a liaison with the company's publicists as well as assisting in writing of articles and other office work. We cannot stress enough how important it is to be DETAIL-ORIENTED. If baking annoys you, please do not apply! (Because all of our recipes need to be precisely weighed and measured to determine calories, etc., they are all as precise as baking).
You'll be working from an Office/Test Kitchen in Manhattan Beach, in an extremely friendly and unique office environment. There is absolutely no office politics associated with this job, and we like to keep a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. To maintain this setting, we seek employees that are also friendly, respectful, hard working, eager, and fun to be around.
If you would be interested in working on makeovers of menu items you might see at a TGI Fridays, Applebee's, or Cheesecake Factory, then you would enjoy the types of recipes developed here. Additionally, part of the chef's appeal is her fun, energetic, "make your dreams a reality" personality. Thus we are seeking employees who would also be excited about the work and would consistently bring positive energy to her projects, clients, fans, etc.
