Chef In A Chalet Hotel at Ski Miquel

Ski Resort: Serre Chevalier – Briançon/Chantemerle/Villeneuve-la-Salle/Le Monêtier-les-Bains, France

The Role

The following is an outline of the principal tasks that are expected of our Chefs:

To prepare and serve breakfast on alternate days (working with our Chalet Hosts), the main job being to cook eggs to order for the beginning of service at 8am until 9am.
Making cakes and biscuits for afternoon tea.
Prepare pre-meal canapés.
Preparing a 3-course evening meal for 25-35 guests, adhering to the Ski Miquel Cookbook. This is for 6 evenings each week of the winter season.
Some weeks there may be children present who will have a simplified meal before the adults sit down to eat.
Maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen.
Ordering stock to ensure you adhere to the set budget in conjunction with the Resort Manager, who will report back to Head Office with any issues.

Our most efficient Chefs do most of their prep work during the morning and then go back to the kitchen late afternoon to finish off. We do not offer lunch, so after you finish your prep (usually around 11am) your day is free and you should not have to return until late afternoon to prepare for the dinner service at 8pm.

All our staff work as a team, the Hosts help with plating up meals with your guidance and cleaning of the dishes. Cleaning the kitchen and cookware is the responsibility of the Chef, so that you should all finish work around the same time.
