If you live local to The Channon, NSW, we’re on the lookout for a good, organised cook. At first we need someone to cover our next PDC course (November 15 to 28, with a day off on Sunday, November 22). You’d be cooking for PRI staff (about eight), and around twenty five or so students. Experience cooking for mixed groups of meat eaters and vegetarian would be a distinct advantage.
The Permaculture Research Institute has a very homely, friendly environment in beautiful natural settings. We get a constant stream of interesting and interested people from every place you can imagine. If you’re happy with the work and arrangement, and vice versa, we would also invite you to continue with us on a full-time trial basis from January, when we start our new internship program.
Please Note: This position has now been filled – we are now fully catered with two top cooks. Thank you for your interest.
Nadia,
If you decide to expand your search for a cook starting in January all the way to the USA, please give a holler. From 1984-2001 I traveled the world making wildlife/natural history films working mainly as a sound recordist/camera assistant as well as researcher, production assistant, producer and general slave. From 2002-2007 I renovated an old building created a bistro/inn and cooked commercially. I changed the menu weekly and purchased from the local CSA. In May 2009, I received my Permaculture Design Certificate from Midwest Permaculture which is accredited under Bill Mollison.
Having said that, I have zero experience in permaculture and would be extremely interested in a work/study situation, i.e. I cook for you while also having the opportunity to learn(intern) from yourself & Geoff.
Entertain the idea……
Cheers,
Kim Hayes
