Chef at Davis at Midwinter Photo: A. Mortimer

As the station chef, your establishment is the only restaurant for thousands of kilometres!

If expeditioners don't like your cooking, they can't try the place next door because there isn't one!

Your job is probably one of the most challenging and rewarding on station, and there are many things to consider to successfully run your kitchen in such isolated conditions.

Still interested?
