On a day-to-day basis, you will assist in prepping and executing dishes, ensuring all plates meet our presentation standards while expressing our unique, fermentation-driven flavor profiles. You will work closely with senior chefs in both our main kitchen and our dedicated fermentation lab to prepare, monitor, and maintain ferments and learning firsthand how time, microbes, and intention shape our menu. This full-time, on-site role in New Delhi requires a highly organised approach, a deep curiosity for contemporary techniques, and strict adherence to specialised food safety and hygiene protocols.
