Company description
Here at the Pantry, we like to call ourselves a community kitchen. For us, that means we do many things: cooking classes that focus on traditional food crafts and technique, five-course family-style dinners, culinary camps for the kids, power lunches for makers who are itching to enter the food industry, food swaps for people who like their cooking time to be social, and cookbook-club potluck suppers, where we pick a cookbook that we're excited about and invite everyone to cook from its recipes. Basically anything we can think of to get our neighbors around the table, breaking bread and building community. We opened in 2011 and are located in the neighborhood of Ballard in Seattle.

Timeline and Schedule:
- Begin November. There is a steep learning curve to this position, so the first two months of the job will be training, with the expectation of 20-30 hours per week. Transition to desired schedule in January, when you get your sea legs. Stay forever.
