Hopefully you have seen all the exciting developments that have been happening under the Garden to Table umbrella! Our passionate garden specialist Sarah McLean has been working hard with all the students in Porohita to get the garden beds filled and planted and we are now beginning the preparations for the cooking part of the program - Harvest, Prepare and Share. To lead this we have a paid role available in the kitchen. If you are interested or know someone who is please read on to discover more.

To be the kitchen specilaist you do not need to be New Zealand's next Master Chef but you do need to be passionate and knowledgeable about food. Your main role would be to run a cooking class for the students, working closely with the garden specialist to plan menus and recipies in line with harvest time. The classes come for approx 90 minutes with half working in the garden and half in the kitchen. Alongside the 11-14 students you would have the support of volunteers (family and extended whanau) and the classroom teacher. Initially support would be provided to learn from the kitchen specialist in another school along with the Garden to Table organisation which is incredibly well resourced and supportive. Within school there would be ongoing support provided by the school Garden to Table teacher and the leadership team. The role is from 9-3 on a Tuesday and 9-11 on a Thursday. There is time during these hours for planning and prep.
