Saturday Mornings: Storms, Celebrities & Sinking Yachts: Superyacht Chef Lisa Mead on Cooking Under Pressure

View descriptionShare
 

🌍MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen goes off-shore with Lisa Mead, the globally travelled superyacht chef whose career has taken her from Queensland to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and luxury vessels serving royalty, heads of state, and celebrities.

Lisa shares what it really takes to thrive as a superyacht chef: cooking in tight galleys during storms, adapting menus on the fly, and managing high‑pressure expectations from VIP guests.

She recounts the time she was attacked by pirates in the Caribbean, the night she found herself on a sinking yacht, and the unforgettable sing‑along with Pete Townshend of The Who.

We also explore her new course, Introduction to Cheffing on Superyachts, designed for land‑based chefs who want to transition into the industry. Lisa explains the differences between land and sea kitchens, the destinations she’s worked in, and why superyacht cheffing demands creativity, resilience, and leadership.
