About
My name is Isabella, I am a yacht chef with nine years of experience in cooking for UHNW clients on luxury yachts around the world and in private chalets the French Alps. I'm a keen sailor and water sports enthusiast and pride myself on my creative problem solving skills and organisation. I am also a keen photographer and graphic designer and regularly put these skills to use in my work by assisting the yachts with social media posting and creating innovative potential itineraries for guests to peruse before they come onboard. In my cooking skills I’m confident with dietary requirements and have a broad knowledge of wine and what to pair best with my food that I make. I enjoy taking time to curate ideal menus for my guests and work well to assist other members of my team when I have time.
