We are looking for a Culinary Intern for our ambitious, fast-growing team in Amsterdam from September 2026 for 6 months.

During your internship, you will be supporting the Recipe Team that is responsible for all recipes in the HelloFresh Box.

This is a unique opportunity to learn and gain experience in a growing business that is leading the way in the food industry.

What you’ll do: The Recipe

  • Supporting the recipe developers in the kitchen, by preparing the cooking and tasting sessions and keeping the kitchen organized and clean.
  • You occasionally assist with (re)cooking recipes when needed.
  • You make sure the test kitchen is stocked with the needed groceries.
  • Assisting in ongoing projects, ranging from marketing initiatives to culinary inspiration sessions.
  • Carry out deep dives and research into recipe successes and potential improvements.

  • Enthusiasm for cooking and recipe improvement and a strong motivation for HelloFresh are essential!
  • You’re proactive, ambitious, like to be creative and make things happen
  • You are full of ideas and can act as a sparring partner for the recipe developers

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. There are many different ways of developing skills, and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

Are you the missing ingredient? If this sounds like a tasty opportunity, we’d be excited to hear from you. We aim to review your profile and respond within 5 business days.

This is a paid internship designed to offer hands-on experience in a fast-paced, international environment. As an intern, you will have structured guidance to support your learning and development. We aim to create an environment where you can build practical skills, gain exposure to how HelloFresh operates, and learn through doing. The internship is suitable for students or recent graduates whose educational requirements allow them to complete an internship during the proposed period.

During the application process, we will ask required questions regarding internship eligibility and university requirements (such as duration, documentation, or approval criteria). Please ensure you are able to provide this information as part of your application.
