Travel with the family as needed (housing always provided) — approx. 6–8 weeks annually, including 2 weeks in December, 2 weeks in January, and time in March and summer.
Be responsive to special requests and references (e.g., recreating a favorite dish from a beloved restaurant like Craig’s, Giorgio’s or Gjelina).
Prepare approachable, clean cuisine that emphasizes flavor and ingredient integrity — nothing too fussy or overly complicated.
Confidently use the pizza oven and outdoor grill.

Ideal Candidate:
Warm, family-minded, and collaborative — you’ll feel like part of the family.
Flexible and travel-ready, with experience in private homes.
Excellent with a variety of cuisines — from California clean to Asian flavors.

Mothers Day Vegetarian Thai Cooking Class for sweetest woman in Thousand Oaks

Filled

Posted : 05/05/25

The best son and daughter in law want to gift their mother mother in law a wonderful chef to do a cooking class in honor of Mother’s Day! They are hoping the class could be May 17th or 18th, and that the lesson food would be done by dinner time so the parents could enjoy it for dinner. If the week is better we are very available May 12th – May 16th and we could work something out.

They live in Thousand Oaks and are Kosher Vegetarians – they would love a lesson on doing vegetarian Thai: one appetizer and one main course.

We are looking for a chef who can plan the meal, provide all the ingredients (which you’ll be reimbursed for), and bring any necessary equipment to make the meal (noodle pasta maker, pots, etc.). She has pots and pans, of course, but her daughter in law doesn’t want her to stress about whether she has the “right” one.

Please let us know if you are experienced with vegetarian Thai and are available to make this most thoughtful gift a reality!

The best daughter in law wants to gift her mother in law a wonderful chef to do a cooking class on Mother’s Day!
