Superyacht chef shows life at sea serving the world's richest is far from glamorous — from grueling 18-hour days to a guest who asked to 'heat the Adriatic'
Former superyacht chef Melanie White said life at sea is far more difficult than social media may lead you to believe — from curating gourmet meals in a floating kitchen to difficult crew dynamics and weeks spent with little contact with the outside world.about the industry that was released last month."We get a view of mega yachts and parties on private beaches, abundant glasses of champagne and fine dining.
In the book, White compared her role to that of a fairy, magically and nearly invisibly doing tasks to please guests. During her time at sea, White said it was sometimes difficult for guests to understand that crew were working with limited supplies. In her book, she recalls a fellow"yachtie" detailing an incident where a guest asked if they could"heat the Adriatic."
The work itself is strenuous. White worked through the elements of the Arctic Ocean and seasickness, all while attempting to prepare elaborate multi-course meals in a kitchen that she called"essentially booby-trapped." White said she often got"boat bites" from slamming into objects on the ship while it was in motion, and food and cooking utensils often catapulted from the fridge or countertops.
