No, It doesn’t mean your food sucks and you need to improve. But as a yacht chef, you should always be striving for more. Why would you consider doing a mymuybueno guest chef cooking class in 2019?
- Do you want to provide your guests and crew that something extra each season to wow them?
- Perhaps you just want to get out of the galley and be inspired working alongside other high calibre yacht chefs?

Who is in the line up for October 2019
No amount of bribing has gotten me the answers to this just yet. But, Justine promises me the class schedule will be released in a few short weeks, so watch this space!!
The really good news is that many of the guest chef classes are going to be held in a 2-week window. This means, as chefs, you can lock in that downtime (hopefully!) and attend a handful of classes at once.
In September 2019, there is another amazing superyacht head chef who is putting on a
