Do you love to cook?
Do you enjoy sharing your culture with others?
Why not combine the two?
We are looking for volunteer cooks for our many Cook & Talk events year-round and we would love to have you join us.
Deadlines &
Formalities -
·
For each event we will
start looking for volunteers at least 2 months in advance, and we need to have
all 3 no later than 1 month in advance so we can put the countries on our
flyers.
·
All volunteer chefs must
have attended at least 1 previous Cook & Talk, in order to be familiar with
what to expect.
·
Each recipe submitted
must include all ingredients and amounts (in metric), any cooking methods, and
the number of servings or portions.
·
Volunteer chefs are asked
to arrive no later than 16:30 to set-up your cooking stations and familiarize
yourselves with the converted recipes.
·
Volunteer chefs are asked
to be familiar with their recipes; do not submit dishes you have never
cooked/eaten before, as this leads to confusion and results in poor execution
and time management.
·
The board will meet with
each volunteer chef about a week prior to the event to do a test-run of the
recipes.
Dishes -
·
Each station will prepare
one main course (this includes sides as needed) and one dessert. You are free
to choose any recipes from your country, within budget limits and time
constraints.
·
The allotted budget is
sufficient for most dishes, but we ask that you try to minimize or refrain from
using expensive ingredients.
·
In order to adhere to the
budget, Holstebro International will purchase the ingredients needed and
deliver them to the school kitchen.
·
If your dishes have any
ingredients that are difficult to find in Holstebro, we ask that you revise
your recipe or provide the ingredients needed.
·
If your recipes require
any special kitchen tools/appliances, please provide them. If you are unsure of
what is available, please ask and we will be happy to let you know.
·
Keep in mind that we have
children and vegetarians eating with us, please be prepared to make a few
special portions for them. We will also inform you of any food allergies you
need to be aware of.
Cooking -
·
As a volunteer chef, you
will be in charge of instructing your team on how to prepare your dishes.
Please prepare brief cooking instructions for each of your dishes; we will
print several copies for you and your team.
·
Cooking starts at 17:30
and dinner will be served at 19:30, please make sure that all of your dishes
can be prepared in that amount of time. You should expect to have 4 to 8
helpers at any given time.
All volunteers will receive free admission to the event they
are volunteering for.
(Limit 1 free admission per cooking station, per event.)
