About me
As a Superyacht Chef, I have delivered exceptional dining experiences for high-profile guests and owners on board luxury yachts, while looking after the crew. This sits on almost 20 years in professional kitchens around London, including private catering, banqueting, and Michelin-star experience, with almost six years in yachting. I have demonstrated creativity, versatility, and adaptability in preparing diverse cuisines and menus, using local and seasonal ingredients, and accommodating various dietary preferences and restrictions. I had the opportunity to work on the film Burned for over three months with Marcus Wareing. I am flexible and open-minded, with proven longevity and exceptional references. My passion for cooking and learning has led me to pursue professional development, including a gold medal in the Salon Culinary challenge and membership of the Chefs Future Club. My goal is to keep growing as a Superyacht Chef and to provide outstanding service and quality to clients. I am excited about the next opportunity.
