Asante's Restaurant is a Ghanaian, West African, and Caribbean restaurant in Teaneck, NJ. We need help documenting our recipes — right now everything is made from memory by our cooks, with no written measurements or steps.
What we need:
- Come into our kitchen and observe our cooks making our top 5 most popular dishes
- Write down exact ingredient amounts (weighed, not eyeballed), step order, cook times, and portion sizes
- Help us turn this into clean, standardized recipe cards
This would mean frequent visits to our kitchen over 1-2 weeks, scheduled around your availability and our kitchen hours
Good fit if you have:
- Culinary school training, kitchen experience, or recipe development background
- Comfortable being in a working restaurant kitchen (this is NOT remote work)
- Familiarity with West African, Ghanaian, or Caribbean cooking is a big plus, but not required
- Strong attention to detail — precision matters more than creativity here
Details:
- Location: In-person only, Teaneck, NJ
- Pay: Paid project, budget in the $600-800 range for this first phase (5 dishes), open to discussing hourly
- Timeline: Looking to start within 1-2 weeks
