Kokk

<p><strong>Do you love preparing delicious homemade food, colourful salads and beautifully presented buffet dishes? Would you enjoy spending the winter in the Norwegian mountains?</strong></p>
<p>Lillehammer Fjellstue is a small, family-run mountain lodge located at Nordseter, just 15 minutes from Lillehammer, Norway.</p>
<p>We are looking for a <strong>creative, independent and reliable chef</strong> to join our friendly international team for the winter season, starting in late December 2026.</p>
<p>We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys cooking, takes pride in preparing good food and appreciates working in a small, well-established team.</p>
<h2>Our kitchen and food philosophy</h2>
<p>At Lillehammer Fjellstue, we believe that good food doesn&#39;t have to be complicated.</p>
<p>Every morning, we serve a traditional Norwegian breakfast buffet with a selection of cold dishes.</p>
<p>In the evening, our guests enjoy a homemade dinner buffet featuring a hot fish dish, a hot meat dish, soup, vegetarian options, fresh salads, cold fish and meat selections, and the dessert of the day.</p>
<p>We are not a large hotel with an extensive buffet selection. Instead, we focus on <strong>good homemade food, fresh ingredients, variety, attractive presentation and dishes our guests genuinely enjoy.</strong></p>
<p>We value teamwork, mutual respect and a positive working atmosphere. Our chefs have clearly defined responsibilities but help each other whenever needed.</p>
<h2>Your main responsibilities</h2>
<p>Your primary responsibility will be preparing and presenting the cold section of our daily dinner buffet, including:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Preparing and beautifully arranging platters with cold fish, meat and other savoury selections.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Creating fresh, colourful salads, vegetable dishes and homemade dressings.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Preparing homemade vegetarian pies, occasional pizzas and other simple vegetarian dishes.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Preparing and arranging the cold breakfast buffet for the following morning.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Presenting and replenishing the evening buffet during service.</p>

</li></ul>
