Job description

Food52 is looking for a part-time, unpaid intern to work closely with our editorial staff on an upcoming book project. If you've ever wanted to see how a cookbook comes together soup to nuts, read on.

Note: This project will last longer than our typical 3-4 month editorial internships, so the ideal candidate will be interested in and available for a longer term, flexible commitment (this isn't a requirement, but a big plus -- and you'll get to participate in more of the process if you stick around). The hours could vary from 5/week (or less) to 20/week (or more), depending on the stage the book is in. Here's what that will look like!

Responsibilities:

• Helping shop, prep, cook, and clean up at recipe testing and photo shoots, sometimes on weekends
• Researching cooking techniques and (recent) culinary history
• Digging into recipe reprint permissions; seeing inner workings of the publishing industry
• Compiling, editing, and organizing recipes and copy

Requirements:

• Loves cooking, loves talking about it
• Cooking experience a major plus (culinary school or work in professional kitchens)
• Fiend for details, lover of well-formatted and organized Google docs, seeker and destroyer of typos
• Cheerful under pressure
• Excellent communicator
• A+ multi-tasker and juggler of responsibilities big and small
• Comfortable with the realities of working for a startup: working on evenings and weekends, and occasional long hours
• Sense of humor (i.e. you think we're funny)
