Ever dreamed of rubbing elbows with the royalty at Buckingham Palace? Yeah, us too. Well, if you can cook, you might be in luck, because Queen Elizabeth is looking for a new royal chef for Buckingham palace. We’re totally serious.
Well, technically, the Palace is looking for a Demi Chef de Partie (um what?)—someone to assist the chef de partie, whose job is to manage a particular section of the kitchen. Confusing enough. The candidate will be expected to prepare food at a station in the palace as well as the other royal residences (like the Balmoral and Holyrood).
The Master of the Household’s Office posted the full-time position on the palaces’s job board. According to the posting, there’s a huge perk—the lucky chef get’s to live in Buckingham palace (if they so choose).
However, despite the lavish living quarters, the position only pays a salary of £22,000 (which is approximately $27,000) a year. And, of course, the new hire will be held to extremely high standards.
