My job is to cook for between 20 and 180 people every day. Because of the location, we don’t have daily deliveries, we have to bring everything down with us, on the ship. I make everything from fresh bread to burgers, cakes, desserts. We use large pieces of meat and fish to cook for such a large group. As the chef here, I decide the menu and which dishes I am going to cook each day. I have one of the best views from the kitchen windows of the sea, mountains and icebergs.
