Galley and Hospitality Culinary Training Academy: Cooking Lessons for crew

I'm so excited to announce the launch of my all-new Galley Cooking School - Culinary Training Academy.

Culinary Skills for Yacht Crew and Hospitality Venues

I have been a professional chef and cooking school teacher for over 25 years. I am the founder of Vanilla Zulu Cooking School in Brisbane and over the years have taught thousands of individuals, professionals, as well as hosted team building for corporates. I realised there was a need for Galley and Hospitality Culinary Training, and that is how the Academy was born.

Cooking Lessons for Yacht Crew and Luxury Vessels

As an industry professional and entrepreneur, I spotted a need for up-skilling and training fleet crew on yachts and luxury vessels, and hospitality staff that do not have access to traditional training.  My academy training will give them strong foundational culinary skills and presentation and plating techniques.
