      Actually I was thinking if ms Nina can write a careerbook for those wanting to be yacht chef
      she brings so much knowledge experience as her videos show and there are so many pitfalls to where to go and what to avoid and would be a great starter for others ....
      A conversation picture book separate also more technical book manual for students or young chefs 😊 ....

    Listen I’m in my 50s I cooked for the first part of my life, small places, casinos ,cafeteria style even some fine dining restaurants. I lived in Hawaii for 23 years and I cook there too, so you understand me when I say this girl has a very good repertoire of different cuisines and flavors and ingredients, it has to be very hard to come up with something different every day and still stay inspired and keep things fresh. I love the Poké bowl platter you made. I think I’m gonna go get some tuna and try to make that myself. Aloha!

    Nina, I’m a 72yo man, living alone. My stomach and eyes are connected. I am now being told by my stomach that I have been in the wrong line of work all my life. That I should have arranged things so that you were doing the cooking rather than the klutz who is doing the cooking here at the moment (me) What a mouth-watering few days you’ve provided for the crew! That looks appetising, healthy, varied- what else could they want over the weekend? YUMMMO! I only recently found your channel, and I’m glad I did. Thank you

    • @johnair1
      @johnair1 2 роки тому +6

      Of the world's yachts measuring longer than 131 feet, Russians own about 9%, according to a 2021 report from SuperYacht Times.According to data from The Superyacht Agency, it is estimated that there are over 4,500 crew who have been affected by the sanctions, this roughly equates to about 11 per cent of all superyacht crew across the entire fleet. So here you have it its like 10% so its not really that big of a difference...

I think your full time job should be replacing chefs for vacations, maternity leave etc. We’d (and you) get new ships and locations, the old chefs would get a spotless clean kitchen and to relax for whatever reason they need time off. In addition the crew would get new and exciting recipes which all look delicious. A win for everyone! Keep posting!

The chef rotated crew favorite dish on the crew mess. After a long day of deep cleaning staterooms between guests, I was tired, soar and dirty. My family favorite was in the rotation for that day, didn't know it until arrived at the crew mess. What a great moral booster.

    Questions for your q&a video:
    1. Whether at shipyard or sea do you have power constraints like are you told you can't use the ovens maybe because it takes too much power and it's needed for other things?
    2. Are you your own independent contractor that you have to put your resume out to owners or captains?
    3. If you have crew leftovers like salad with dressing on it, do you throw it away or is there a trick to making it stay fresh and not soggy?
    I also really like how you gave us the recipe for quick and easy muffins! Definitely trying it!

      I doubt there are any leftovers with all those young, fit, energetic crew on board.

      I was just wondering the same thing - not to be a Debbie Downer, but Nina could you do a show on typical food-waste (I'm sure if it's atrocious the boat owners probably would let you post it)?

      I think with 16 people you can estimate quite well how much will be eaten and leftovers i am sure will either be eaten next day or given to the crew before thrown away.

    I just saw your channel on my you tube feed. I have been watching sailing videos so your channel must have fit there algorithm. You are breath of fresh air,so positive which the world needs more of right now! I am a foodie. I am a retired corporate pilot ,flew chatters around the world so I viewed the same bodies of water only from fight level 450 dealt with the same type of guests as you do. The crew and the plane always stayed with guests so I was able to visit many wonderful places and eat wonderful food.
    I am late to your party and you most likely have shared more about Christian, I would love know about him like what is his role on the boat and are able to be on then same boat?
    I have been to Australia many times I love your country the people are so friendly!
    ps: I live in Appomattox County Virginia USA,
