About

My name is Barbara, but most people call me Bibi. I'm a creative Head Chef with a broad culinary repertoire and a calm personality. I have a genuine passion for food and a strong service focus, aiming to please my guests. I am a capable leader, providing a positive and drama-free galley environment. My experience spans various aspects of restaurant service and yacht cooking, where I have opened several restaurants in Italy. I adapt my cooking style to suit all tastes, with a particular interest in healthy and organic food.
