Work environment
Our Kitchen Helper will support Johanna in creating fresh, seasonal, and memorable meals for our guests. Suppers are summer-dinner-party style fare with a focus on seasonality and colour; breakfasts are healthy and hearty to set people up for a day of outdoor adventures. We maintain a cooperative and relatively relaxed atmosphere in our kitchen and welcome enthusiasm and new ideas. It’s a great place to experiment and/or develop cooking or baking skills. The kitchen environment is wonderfully bright and homey – a mix of stainless steel and wood with several large windows and a great view.
