Work with me

I’m growing, and I’m looking for good people to cook and serve alongside me at private events and weddings in the Sierra foothills.

Who I’m looking for

Every meal I cook happens in someone’s home, cabin or event space, plated or family style. I need people who keep a clean station, stay calm when the kitchen is small and unfamiliar, and care about how a plate looks when it reaches the table.

Servers

Plated and family-style service, clearing between courses, pouring, and making guests feel looked after. Wedding and event experience is a plus.

Cooks

Prep, plating and working the line with me on site. Fine dining or restaurant line experience helps, and so does knowing your way around a home kitchen.

Prep and dish help

Shopping runs, prep, packing meals to go, and keeping the kitchen spotless before I hand it back.

Work is by the event, mostly evenings and weekends, around Mariposa, Oakhurst and Yosemite, and sometimes Merced, Modesto and Fresno. A current California Food Handler card is required before your first event.

Tell me about yourself

I read every one of these myself and I’ll reach out if it’s a fit.
