Throwing a Dinner Party
As a yacht chef, I learned quickly the importance of being organized and prepared for cooking for a group of people with a specific schedule. It’s sink or swim!

A Yacht Chef’s Old Hurricane Story [Part 2]
We arrived in Culebra with “Rhiannon” 1.5 days before the onset of the storm… We worked feverishly that whole time preparing for a storm that would probably give us 60 to 80 knot winds with gusts up to a very unlikely 120 knots. We were as ready as we could be and had all of […]
A Yacht Chef’s Old Hurricane Story [Part 1]
I know this is a culinary blog, but my yachting stories are what has defined my cooking “portside”, and I think you might find this particular story interesting… In the late 80’s to the mid 90’s, for about 8 years I lived aboard a couple of sailboats with my Ex and a beautiful cat named […]
