assistant chef


Explanation:
This would be the correct term in a restaurant. If it is just a diner or café, assistant cook might be better.

Hope this helps!

disagree  coolbrowne: Sorry but, regardless of the venue, an "assistant chef" ("assistente de chef de cozinha") is way higher in the pecking order than a mere "assistente de cozinha", which is an entry-level position and need not even be a cook.

  -> Point taken. I agree. If the position is that low, then "kitchen hand" perhaps is the best term here. But also note, the ASKER changed the term to "assistente de cozinheiro"... does this make a difference, do you think?
