Off menu: life in an Army kitchen

Meet the chefs who cook for soldiers at home and overseas.

“Our job is making sure soldiers have the fuel they need to do theirs.”

One day you could be cooking everyday meals, the next you might be feeding people at a big event. You’ll learn new skills, use different ingredients and cook in all kinds of places.

“We’re cooking restaurant quality food every day.”

What’s in it for me?

As an Army Chef you’ll:

• Help support soldiers and your team every day

• Travel overseas and cook in new environments

• Prepare healthy food with the right balance of carbs, protein and vegetables

• Cater for dietary needs, including allergies and religious diets

• Learn to adapt – even cooking meals using just fire in the field

• Cook for big events like Christmas dinners and formal meals

“We worked with civilians in Estonia who showed us how to cook their food too.”

If you enjoy practical work, thrive in a team environment and want to cook with real purpose, the Army could have a place for you.
