About
I am a Dutch-born, formally trained head chef with extensive experience on yachts ranging from 50 to 70 meters. I excel in high-pressure environments, maintaining organization and clear communication with the crew during service. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, including French, Italian, Mexican, Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean. I take pride in crafting exquisite plated 8-course dinners while also enjoying the challenge of preparing casual meals. Engaging with guests and ensuring their satisfaction is a key aspect of my role.
