We are looking for an enthusiastic, food-inspired person to manage the community kitchen. Ideally, someone well organized, with experience in community or or commercial kitchens. Speaking Spanish is a nice addition but not completely necessary.
An interest in healthy, holistic cooking methods is welcomed, and this position provides opportunity to develop those methods. We're always open to recipes for the recipe book that is already full of delectable treats from sprouted corn chocolate tamales to curried squash soup and raw green salad dressing. There is also room to experiment with medicinal herbs from our garden.
Our kitchen mainly uses seasonally available whole and organic foods, including a variety of fresh tropical fruits and vegetable along with whole grains. The vast majority are sourced either from our garden or from within 10 miles of our location. We have a primarily vegetarian diet, with meat and dairy products occasionally available. We are an ecologically minded community and run on renewable energies. Cooking is done on both fire and gas stoves and we operate without refrigeration. If you are interested in joining us on beautiful Ometepe Island to bring inspiration, organization and creativity to our kitchen, please contact us!
