What employers look forFrom the Nutrition-Focused Chef guide
Most people in this role come from an experienced galley background. Often they were a sous or head chef who went on to study nutrition formally. Captains and management companies look for solid culinary training plus a credible nutrition qualification, such as a Level 4 diploma or nutritional therapy training. References from private households, wellness retreats or clinics help a lot. Discretion matters. You will see medical details, and owners hire people who never repeat them. You are expected to be fluent in low-FODMAP, ketogenic, anti-inflammatory and vegan cooking. Strong pastry without refined sugar or wheat sets candidates apart.
