"I grew up on a beautiful farm in Zimbabwe with a large family that loved cooking and from a young age I remember picking fresh fruit off the trees and baking cakes. I am constantly learning and expanding my culinary knolwedge and being a yacht chef has only increased my love and passion for cooking. I have the unique opportunity to cook with fresh and locally sourced produces from around the world as well as the chance to work with a variety of talented chefs."
RACHEL CUNNINGHAM - Sous Chef on board Amaryllis
"I grew up in New Zealand, but have spent the past 15 years travelling the world, with 113 countries ticked off to date, I have a goal of visiting every country before 40. I have cooked and eaten my way around the globe but still prefer the more fresh light Asian dishes with plenty of herbs and flavourful noodle soups".
