Assistant Cook

For our Italian restaurant, we are looking for an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn assistant cook to support the chef in the daily kitchen organization. You will start as the chef's right hand, with a concrete trajectory to independently run the kitchen 1 to 2 days per week in the long term.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Providing the daily mise-en-place in preparation for service.
• Independently preparing cold starters and appetizers (antipasti).
• Assisting the pizzaiolo during peak moments.
• Supporting the chef during the evening service.
• Ensuring hygiene and cleanliness in the workplace.

The intention is that you will eventually replace the chef 1 to 2 days per week. On these days, you will independently prepare the pasta according to the chef's fixed recipes. The chef remains responsible for orders and general kitchen management, but you will run the kitchen team on those days. All specific techniques and recipes will be fully taught to you on the job.

• Proficiency in the English language (this is the working language in the kitchen; Dutch is not necessary).
• Ability to work smoothly under the leadership and instructions of the chef.
• Clear ambition and motivation to grow into a role in which you work independently 1 to 2 days.
• Stress-resistant, eager to learn, and a team player who knows how to get things done.
• Passion for Italian cuisine.
