Culinary & Camp Intern The Dynamite Shop
- Date Posted February 13, 2019
- Location Brooklyn, NY
- Category Culinary / Education
- Job type Internship/Apprentice
Company description
The Dynamite Shop is a culinary social club for kids 8+ and their families in a Brooklyn storefront with a teaching kitchen, cook's library, photo and video studio, garden out back, and cafe up front.
Our goal is to help the rising generation of cooks find their niche in food, to celebrate the diversity of our communities and the wider world, and to develop positive relationships around food. Consider us Home Ec 2.0: we champion an old fashioned reverence of the table and offer a cool, supportive place to unplug.
The Dynamite Shop empowers kids to express themselves through the lens of food, so we’re not just cooking lasagna and bibimbap to bring home for dinner--we’re learning about regional variations, Skyping with chefs, watching and creating videos, and exploring how food intersects with culture and community.
Our core curricula during the academic year is the MAKE & TAKE afterschool program where kids cook dinner to bring home to their families and learn real life cooking skills in the process. The larger picture is that we are a community that revolves around food; we offer cooking classes for the whole family, a wildly popular summer camp, food service projects, readings, events, and more. Internship description We are looking for an intern this summer to help with all aspects of our Pop-Up Restaurant Camp. This is an opportunity to work hands-on with young, enthusiastic cooks under the supervision of two food industry veterans and with dozens of visiting chefs, cookbook authors, food producers and other culinary talents.
The position runs from mid-June through the end of August.
Here is some information about the camp:
_____
What makes Brooklyn such an exciting place to eat and cook? That’s what students will discover as they transform The Dynamite Shop into a pop-up restaurant devoted to the rich immigrant community that drives our borough’s amazing food scene. Over the course of the week, we'll immerse ourselves in a thoughtful curriculum developed by longtime food-writers Dana Bowen and Sara Kate Gillingham, spending time with talented home cooks, chefs, bakers and cookbook authors from around the world. We will hear the stories behind the foods we'll make, from fresh Italian pasta and Oaxacan tamales to Cantonese dumplings and Russian watermelon pickles.
The daily rhythm is active and nourishing. Mornings have us taking on an ambitious cooking project — often with a visiting chef — that results in a bountiful lunch. Our afternoons include local field trips to markets and bakeries, more lessons from culinary pros, plus team work on the restaurant concept, from table design to the recipes themselves. We end every week with a food service project and some lively group discussions about how we can do good with food.
