The concept of Mountain Chefs started in 2005 when a number of high-end ski companies recognised the need for properly trained, professional Chalet Chefs and Hosts. Rachel started Mountain Chefs cookery school to develop individuals to fill this market need. Our courses are held in UK purpose built training facilities and we focus on equipping people with the cookery skills they need to work successfully as a Chalet Chef or Chalet Host. We are the only cookery school offering an Advanced Chalet Chef course to assist experienced chefs in developing their menus and budgeting after working a few seasons or when entering their first role as a senior Alpine chef. Mountain Chefs is proud to produce the best staff for the best companies. Our aim is to give people a fantastic lifetime skill and a great ski season job.
