Vegetable Master sought for Gastro Canteens in Nordhavn – will you set new standards for the green kitchen?

IT'S NOT A SALAD BAR!

Imagine new potatoes prepared in eight different ways in June. Jerusalem artichokes in all their variations when autumn arrives. Or an entire month where asparagus is explored from new perspectives. If you love vegetables, follow the seasons and can make even the most humble ingredient take the lead, then we perhaps have the job for you!

At Gastro Kantiner we grow, and at our largest location in Nordhavn we are seeking a passionate and creative vegetable master who will help develop our gastronomic concept and set new standards for what the green kitchen can offer.

About the job

With us, the green is not just an accessory. It is a central part of our gastronomic identity, and we want to give vegetables the attention, expertise and creativity they deserve.

In the middle of our canteen we have a six-metre-long green table, which functions as a natural gathering point. Here guests will not only meet traditional salads but a living, varied and inspiring selection of green dishes where flavor, seasonality and good culinary craft are at the centre.

We are talking about hearty and lighter salads, spreads, warm vegetable dishes, tarts, bread and much more. Dishes that can stand alone, can be combined across and inspire our guests to eat more greens.

As our new vegetable master you will have a central role in developing this universe. You will have the freedom to explore the potential of the ingredients, try new cooking methods and create variations that our guests notice and look forward to.

We also want to get closer to the origins of the ingredients and the people who produce them. Therefore work with seasons, smaller producers and local suppliers will also be an important part of the position.

Your primary tasks will be

• Develop and produce an inspiring and varied green board with wide gastronomic range.
• Work creatively with seasonal vegetables, flavors, textures, preparation methods and presentation.
• Develop new green dishes that challenge the traditional perception of canteen food.
• Seek out and explore ingredients from smaller, independent producers and suppliers.
• Communicate the stories behind the ingredients and inspire both guests and colleagues.
• Plan production with a focus on quality, economy, food waste and smooth daily operation.
• Actively contribute to the development of our overall gastronomic concept.

Who are you?

We imagine that you have a strong gastronomic professional competence and a special passion for vegetables and the green kitchen. You can be a trained chef or have built your experience through other relevant kitchen roles.

You preferably have experience from a larger canteen or a professional kitchen where food is produced for many guests, and you understand how to combine creativity and high ambitions with structure and efficient production.

We particularly emphasize that you

• Are passionate about vegetables, seasonal ingredients and gastronomic development.
• Are curious, creative and want to challenge the status quo.
• Have solid craftsmanship and a good understanding of flavor and preparation.
• Work independently, in a structured way and take responsibility for your tasks.
• Can translate gastronomic ideas into tasty dishes in a busy canteen day-to-day.
• Are a good colleague, willing to share knowledge and contribute positively to collaboration.

We offer

• An exciting position with great opportunity to influence and develop our green gastronomic concept.
• Freedom to work creatively with seasonal ingredients, new techniques and exciting suppliers.
• A professional kitchen with high gastronomic ambitions and a focus on good culinary craft.
• An engaged team where professionalism, collaboration and job satisfaction are at the center.
• Opportunity for professional development and to put your personal mark on our food experiences.
• A growing company where we believe that freedom, responsibility and passion create the best results.

Working hours and other terms of employment will be agreed on.
