Chef Eda
I started sailing after graduated from university in Istanbul. I enrolled in a sailing school and after I completed education, I attended many races like in
shore and off shore with a team all around Turkey. To better understand the rules I became a sailing referee, and just after that I founded a women's
sailing team in Bodrum called “Sultans of the Sea” and we sailed between Turkish and Greek islands and won some trophies
When I started sailing races, the attraction of the sea led me to explore one step more each time. While hosting my guests on the yacht, I love sharing the Mediterranean cuisine blended with fresh vegetables and quality ingredients of the region most of the time.
If I were to sum up what I've learned and observed about being a yacht chef over all these years; practical recipes to prepare on yachts, develop my own fine dining menus that I apply to galley environment, processes that allow me to build complete confidence in myself so that I master the management of any galley.
Since I grew up on Mediterranean cuisine, I have always been happy to discover different cuisines. As someone who has been observing and living
the food world professionally many years, I can say that Mediterranean cuisine is my favourite if we look more deeply into Med food which is the
healthiest cuisine, It emphasis on fresh, whole foods, healthy fats, and plant based ingredients has been linked to numerous health benefits.
I think my guests will rave about my galley seafood paella, moussaka or mezze. Mezze is the name for a number of small dishes or appetizers served
before a meal, often with a drink. Drinks include anise-flavored liqueurs, such as arak, ouzo, raki or different wines. These dishes are similar to the tapas of Spain or finger food. Cooking of different varieties of Mezze with fresh olive oil and seasonal vegetables and green plants dishes. Guests also enjoy my local Caribbean-style Creole cooking along with other international meals.
