Position: Private Chef
Description: Her majesty of a Royal Family in one of the safest countries of the Middle East is looking for a private chef. The culinary area has staff of 250.  Her Majesty is all about her health and weight.
Her diet requirements are: 
She has a glass of pomegranate juice in the AM.
Lunch is broth with veg stock (EVERYTHING HOME MADE) to which you will add various ingredients daily.  All greens from their own garden...and daily the gardeners bring in what is best. No vinegars, so for dressings, one must get very creative.
Entrees go in three day cycles.  One day is fish, one day turkey, one day vegetables
nothing grilled just lightly oiled and heavily seasoned but not spicy.
No desserts.
The Royal Family entertains often but family eats privately first.   There is a chef for the kids and another for the husband.   Chef must be first a cook and not a manager accustomed to large brigades.  Female or male is ok, no preference.  He/she must be able to cook for all but focus on the wife.   Weekends the chef will travel with the family to various resorts and also be on their yacht but it doesn't go anywhere.  There are six  chefs but two primary.  This position will  be one of the two (one for husband and one for wife).  Looking for an expert on organic and whole foods, vegan and vegetarian food with a great palate.  Looking for fabulous flavors but not heavy handed on the spices.
Chef will live on palace property.   Money is no object. They are looking for a real artist and would fly him or her over for sampling. The culinary director is delightful, and American.
