estaurants and hotels around town. That’s where it all
started. His first job was as a dishwasher and prep cook.
From there, he worked his way up to every area of the
kitchen and, through many twist and turns, every aspect
of the food industry.
His ancestry also plays an important part of who he is
and the respect he has for food. Daniel’s family is from
Italy, and thusly, they are all about food and the growing,
living and using of good products. He speaks often of
the olive oil that comes from his family there and always
has it in his galley.
“He then offered me double my
salary and a chance to see the world.
I was off on a plane a week later
to adventure land.”
Daniel worked in many fine restaurants of international
fame and over time was immersed in the cuisine of
France, Italy, North Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, China
and all shores of the Mediterranean. He was a magnate
of all, learning from numerous prestigious chefs,
and taking all of the flavors of these many cuisines of
the world into himself.
Now, having joined yachting, he has since been able to
travel and shop these many places. His career in yachting
started when a yacht owner came to eat at a restaurant
where Daniel was working and said he needed a
vegetarian chef for a party for one of his guests.
