We are Down To Earth Cuisine Personal Chef Services and we are looking for a few rock star chefs to join our growing team. You have a love of all cuisines, a servant’s heart, and a penchant for great customer service. Your strong creative spark drives you and you don’t go a day without exploring a new ingredient, cooking technique or cuisine to keep that drive strong.

Then they shop, cook and package up to a week’s worth of meals for their clients to enjoy throughout the week.
This role offers an opportunity to showcase your culinary expertise, provide top-tier customer service, and contribute to our sustainability-focused approach.
