Onboard Chefs and Galley Workers

Unless you have a superstar visiting guest hosting a major event, which is only occasionally onboard a cruise ship, you may not really consider the amazing accomplishments and incredibly abilities of onboard chefs and the other galley workers.

Celebrity chefs either come onboard for a special event, namely a theme for boutique foods, or a celebrated chef actually opening his own restaurant onboard. Most likely the restaurant would be an additional cost, potentially of $25 or more, per person. most likely, the smaller cruise lines would have a special chef-hosted or chef-created restaurant.

The executive chef, who is occasionally a celebrity chef, plans the menus, orders the food, organizes the staff, and arranges all of the meals on the menus, making sure not to repeat meals every week or longer! He also purchases local foods and makes them into a special of the day.

The galley is never quiet, always preparing for the next day or a meal later that same day. Some of the galley departments include:

Fish/Seafood Preparation
Meat Preparation
Vegetable Preparation
Sauce Preparation
Soup Preparation
Cold Kitchen (cold dishes, salads, sandwiches, buffet carvings)
Bakery and Pastry
Pantry (cheese and fruits are prepared and sandwiches are made)
Dishwashing (they would put the local fast food places to shame)

Of course, there is only one way to experience such exciting and delectable cruise cuisine, and that's to first book it at www.kingarthur.myttn.com. Bon appetit!
