 WORK EXPERIENCE

-M/Y Vogue, Elegance 82, 25m, Portals Nous, Mallorca (june-october ´08)
M/Y Vogue was an extremely busy charter yacht catering for very ‘high end clients’ as well as the
owners of the yacht. I was responsible for preparing Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. It was necessary
for me to adapt my menu plans to the differing needs and cultural palates of individual clients.
Although mostly Mediterranean cuisine, I incorporated influences from France, Germany, Britain
into my menu along with references to the east, orient and the south pacific to give my food a
touch of the exotic.
As well as preparing three or four course meals for formal dining, I created a great variety
canapés and finger food when catering for large parties or informal meals and snacks.
Having now completed my first season working as a chef on a motor yacht, I have accustomed
myself to the challenges peculiar to cooking at sea. Provisioning, improvisation due to the often
inconsistent demands of a client and balancing soufflés at anchor are just some of the many
challenges on which I thrive.
I have also developed the seamanship skills required on a yacht with a small crew. I am
competent with lines, fending and anchoring along with the safety procedures and precautions
relevant to any vessel at sea or in port.
