Cook 2 - Italian Kitchen

At Four Seasons we consider life and work to be richer when we truly connect
with the people and the environment around us.
Our family members are masters at their crafts - a gardener can become an
artist, a manager a conductor, a chef an inventor. We look for employees who
share the Golden Rule: people who, by nature, believe in treating others as we
would have them treat us. We look for our people to characterize a shared
passion for excellence and to infuse that enthusiasm into everything they do.
