From Mexico to the French Alps, Chef Jessica takes on the world

The talented Capsicum Chef told us a little about her extraordinary journey so far. 

“Last year June I decided to combine my passion for food, meeting new people and traveling. 

At the end of June it was final I packed my bags and left to base myself in Palma Majorca where I would look for a job as a yacht chef. I was extremely determined and managed to find myself a job within the first week. 

The first month was spent as a freelance chef until I secured myself a job on a yacht in Monaco for a Dutch family. I was based there for two month and at the end of October I decided it was time to experience a proper European winter. 

I then worked as a private chef in a chalet in the French Alps where I would cook breakfast, make tea snacks and a 4 course dinner for 15 guests at a time. The guests would come from all over the world. This was an experience but 3 months into this job I received an irresistible offer to work as sous / crew chef on a yacht with a world cruising itinerary. I met up with the yacht in Mexico and we are currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Spain. 

It's an absolutely amazing industry to work in but it requires alot of determination and persistence.”

All the best Jessica, we are SO proud of you!
