Every year in Mallorca there are new agencies popping up around the island and I always wonder how it would feel to be in my prospective guests’ shoes. What do they think about when trying to find a Private Chef? Whether you wish to book a Private Chef directly with the chef or go through an agency depends on a few criteria and it usually comes down to trust. Some agencies are very large and will not give you a very personal experience. Other agencies are small and have a few chefs that they can connect you with for a fee. And the most personal and value-conscious of all is going directly to the chef. I’ll break it down for you here.

Every year, I am asked many times by my clients who are renting a day chartered yacht, what food is appropriate to bring along with them. Well the specifics are always up to the guests, but my advice for yacht-food is to keep it light, fresh and snacky! Its going to be hot on the water, most likely, so you want cool items with lots of freshness and variety. Most importantly you want something that’s easy to eat such as petite sandwiches, fruit on skewers, finger foods and already portioned items such as desserts. Don’t mess with hot food that needs to be eaten with a fork and knife…where will you cut a giant piece of meat? No hot pasta, no red sauces, no beetroots! Nothing that will stain a boat’s gorgeous and expensive interior. Cool pasta salads are ok provided they are easy to eat. Ditch the roast chicken, side salad and potatoes for more manageable items like a gourmet chicken Caesar wrap bite.
