Job Description
Down To Earth Cuisine is a personal chef service built around a simple idea: great food shouldn't require a restaurant grind. We're expanding our Seattle team and looking for an experienced chef who wants a Monday–Friday, daytime schedule instead of nights, weekends, and holidays.
What you'll do:
- Design custom weekly menus based on each client's dietary needs and preferences
- Shop for fresh, quality ingredients at local markets
- Cook a week's worth of meals directly in the client's home kitchen
- Leave every kitchen as clean as you found it
- Submit a short daily job report and join periodic virtual team check-ins
What you bring:
- 5+ years of professional cooking experience (3–4 years considered with strong culinary training)
- Formal culinary training or certification
- A calm, professional, client-facing communication style
- Comfort adapting to different kitchens, schedules, and client preferences
- Genuine interest in sustainable sourcing and practices
- Availability 15–25 hrs/week, primarily 8AM–6PM weekdays
This is a great fit for a chef who's confident in the kitchen, enjoys variety, and takes real pride in service — not just food.

We are not just personal chefs. We are storytellers and experience creators specializing in in-home meal prep.
Our method brings the fine-dining experience to you and provides you with an insight into what goes into your food and how it's prepared.
Local-sourcing is our favorite. Natural and organic are our passions. We create meals with seasonal produce and tailor each experience to your needs. Our process includes ensuring your lifestyle and health are our top priorities as we create the meal of your dreams before your eyes.
Every meal is created just for you from prep to clean-up. We enjoy creating relationships with our clients. Drive-thrus and restaurants have their place, but not when you're looking for that extra touch.
Your satisfaction is our goal.
In this time of crisis, we are working to help those in need.
