Cook

Overview

Hone your craft in the finest kitchen on Long Island!

We operate a 100% non-GMO and almost entirely Organic kitchen that focuses on providing allergen-friendly meal options.  Our kitchen staff prepares restaurant-quality dishes daily from fresh ingredients of the highest standard.  The team is a positive and supportive group who are excited and satisfied by a fast-paced work environment that creates a unique variety of food that changes seasonally with a permanent set of staples.

The Cook position is an excellent opportunity for a moderately experienced (or more!) individual to hone their craft, connect with great co-workers, and find substantial compensation packages, as well.  While we are always happy to have part-time employees or those interested in only temporary positions on the team, we offer many opportunities for Cooks to advance and find a long-term, full-time careers at Cornucopia.

While it is not a requirement, we enjoy working with creative individuals who possess a passion for natural/organic and/or healthy cuisine.  If this sounds like you - the Cornucopia kitchen may be your perfect home away from home!
