What employers look forFrom the Specialist Cuisine Chef guide
Owners hire for authenticity. A Lebanese family wants a Lebanese chef, a Hong Kong owner wants someone who trained in Cantonese kitchens. Many recruits come straight from top restaurants or private households ashore and pick up yachting afterwards. Crew agents look for a clear track record in the cuisine, references from well-known kitchens, clean health paperwork and a calm temperament. Halal or kosher knowledge, and the ability to cook clean, light versions of heavy dishes, both help.
