ONE WEEK AS A CREW CHEF

[@Dinki-Di]

Nina is amazing. I love watching her creativity and energy.

[@petalss5325]

Oh Hi! Didn’t expect to see Nina here but so not complaining! What a treat!

[@GiselleBoss21]

Love Nina and her vlogs ...

[@andyblyth4519]

You also have, in most superyachts these days, equipment that makes most land based restaurants drool. In my little restaurant, just from space and the cost, I had to put in what we could afford, which meant ovens you have to clean (three or 4 times a week sometimes) by hand, whereas on these boats the ovens all have self cleaning programs, put it on at night, come in in the morning, all lovely and shiny. I agree with Nina, the Fridays are serious work, with week-end crew food, watch-keepers and I used to clean the galley from top to bottom on a Friday evening.

[@fatumaali6403]

Nina is super talented and she does everything with such a wonderful attitude. she is a happy spirit, so lovely and is fun to watch her do her thing. when i own a yatch, she wil be my chef 😍

[@jetho69]

such an excellent chef

[@Allirys]

Love you because you are silly, professional and you love Tilly. 🧡

[@B3rettaZ26]

i found her by accident a few years ago.. love her videos and all. truly inspiring and high energy at times. haha

[@454FatJack]

When i win lottery . She is first to Ask to start my crew😊

[@Theleague0fshad0ws]

Likewise.

[@mikehuber6005]

Please, please, please do a Crew Chef Cookbook

[@rickphenicie]

I want to learn to cook like you do. Love the videos!

[@artmartdc]

I am exhausted just watching! But I am also hungry.

[@surferles589]

So good to see you Nina. Keep it up

[@gmail7872]

Nina is the happiest soul and a beautiful person 😊

[@albertmyers7176]

Nina , great vid thank you from California

[@andyblyth4519]

Yes, she's good. I have done it myself for many years, both crew and Head Chef. The crew are often more demanding than the owners, as with many on board, girls, guys, different nationalities, different likes and dislikes, the girls usually are on diets (so they can get slaughtered at the weekends often!!). But by and large, crews are very appreciative of their crew chef, they know how hard it is, because they also work very hard.

[@terencetaylor4600]

Love it Nina.

[@davidberweiler3258]

Hey Nina. Fun clips of the Crew chef duties. As for the onions, I beleive that Kitch Aid (I saw the mixer on your counter) makes a cylindericalslicer for various shaps and it would defineitly make the portions that you were hand cutting.

[@bobthomason2417]

Luv your videos 😍 Keep posting !!!!!

[@pjmoody]

Thanks for sharing Nina

[@seacoastsis627]

Love your videos! Two questions for your Q&A: 1) How do you and crew stay so fit on board? Besides being active just by working, do you get the time/space/opportunity to do actual workouts? 2.) How often do you deal with food allergies for crew and guests and what are your strategies? For GF etc?

[@kmarius1]

Makes me tired just watching all that culinary work. Love it though. Huge fan of yours here in Dallas Texas.

[@victoriasmith1897]

You have SUCH energy! I would have loved more info on what the weekend meals were. Hope you had a good weekend off after all that!

[@dutchman3525]

When you cut onions, place a fan next to it. It blows away the tear gas.

[@lijuang8849]

One easy way to scip al the crying when you shop onions is to ONLY BREATHE THRUE YOUR MOUTH👍 It works, I always do it like that. When you breathe the strong onion-smell thrue your nose it reach the tearcanal and make you cry. So by breathing only thrue your mouth it will releave you symptoms. But in the begining its easy to forget and you start crying. But with some practis it will get better 😁👍try it!!

[@gbuddah]

If I was rich I would hire Nina away as my own personal chef! She's incredible!

[@zachansen8293]

I would just hire a sushi chef if I had that money and eat sushi all day every day. Anyone who cooks fish gets fired.

[@Dadanijela]

Love the videos. For the onions...after cutting in half,place them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before thin slicing...much less crying:-))

[@davidberweiler3258]

The egg samies looked great and yummy~~ 🙂

[@jackdorsey4850]

The 1 thing I learned from watching your videos is if you don't like to work don't be a crew chief wow!

[@claredavis5960]

I've never seen a muffin recipe that didn't include salt. I'm curious to try it and see the results.

[@danasheets1774]

Yummy yummy 😎

[@reallyyouthful]

I enjoy these videos very much though, the person who chose the music should be severely punished.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

The crew of a quad trilbillionaire eats better than we ever thought possible. Think about the charter guests?? That's when the good stuff happens.

[@careyharris9357]

What kind or type a sausage were you using for breakfast? Enjoying your videos❤

[@johnbettano6026]

good job

[@leoescobar4308]

please tell me that you recycle on board. IF you dont please start, every little bit counts. Love your videos

[@nicke6394]

Seriously impressive! Sure beats a pot noodle 😂😂😂

[@josephstevener7499]

May I have your recipe for your mac & cheese? Please.

[@Susannasbythebay]

Do you eat with the crew?

[@jenniferclark9170]

What yacht are you on?

[@tedfalconer1838]

Cute girl, very nice handstand!

[@sandrah7491]

I know a lot of people who put on swimming goggles to cut onions

[@michaelhedges782]

Who cooks the food on the weekend that you have prepared?

[@justus8675]

We do it the other way around, try to cook as much as we can on the weekend, to have a less stressful week ...

[@tristanmaclennan2989]

Here's a tip so your eyes don't water when cutting onions, stick out your tongue, don't laugh, it really does work!

[@margaritastrode4752]

❤

[@TheBlaugrau]

a Sunshine....

[@cdr92663]

What's the most outlandish or rare ingredient a passenger/guest ever requested at sea? Has there been a time where cooking for a guest has not been possible due to rough weather?

[@nadiaquek]

The eggs Benedict…do you make the English muffins from scratch?

[@garywoodcock8020]

When you cut onions they release Sulphur into the air ,the Sulphur reacts with the water in the eyes to form sulfuric acid , its weak but enough to make you cry .

[@JeffryJoaquin]

Gorjeous

[@schrauberrolf7672]

👍👌

[@alaindeshaies817]

If you dont want to cry, put the oignons in the fridge before cuting one night. 😢😢😢😢😢

[@opa-dick]

OMG what a hard work... Respect ❤

[@xxxrider6913]

To avoid Tearing Up by releasing Sulfunic Acid from the Onion when it gets to your eye. Make sure the Onion is cold. Make sure your knife is very sharp. Use Eye Goggles which can be bought at Home Depot very inexpensive. Also, after dicing you can rinse the onion dice in water and then drain it to get rid of the excess sulfur which causes the Tearing. Rick Bayless (#1 TexMex Chef) always does this as he hates raw onions but does so if he needs to. Also, it helps to cut off the top and the bottom of the Onion and then rinse them in water to get rid of the Sulfur!!!

[@evercuriousmichelle]

My lazy version of this: I lob off both ends, half the onion and before peeling or doing anything else, I run it under cold water, trying to get the water into the inner layers. It’s not a perfect method but it definitely means fewer tears!

[@TheJEZ1S]

Also if you're someone who uses contact lenses cutting onions is not really an issue while wearing them. Not something you'd go for unless you're already contact lens user anyway though I guess.

[@bubbapeppers4354]

First of all, Rick, who I watch and respect, does NOT cook Tex Mex, purely Mex. His homes are in Chicago and Mexico City, not Texas, where I live and abhor Tex Mex. Just because he likes/dislikes a particular onion does not make it right for everyone. We don't need food police here, I love (and do so most of my friends) raw onion mixed into the flavor profile of many dishes. Just because he can't tolerate it doesn't mean everyone can't. Nice try, just enjoy Nina. This vid is from her channel, not ABC... Geez.

[@amyrivers4093]

I wear my sunglasses and they work fine but only because I cut them on the bench that has a massive window so I can still see what I'm doing.

[@djnomadgarcia]

Just chow a mint gum and you will never cry cutting onion 🧅

[@stregaone4471]

💖💖💖💖

[@janpieterwagenaar1608]

Wow you have perfect handstand ballance. and the crew i must say they get real good food made with love.

[@Gdsm9]

Nina's the best,

[@palmdog08]

Love your energy and enthusiasm

[@alberanek2990]

I wish I knew about being crew when I was younger. It looks like a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Plus having fabulous chefs cooking... Oh my

[@jonathanscott550]

I am confused Nina. Is this on MY Loon you are cooking. As this does not look like Loons Galley.Timeline on this video looks like 4 months ago when released. Regardless the food looks amazing as always and I gained 20 LBS just watching and I am still hungry. Also why don't you chef on your husbands boat that he work's on Captain I think. Stay happy

[@tristanmaclennan2989]

Streaky bacon is OK, but try pancetta, much nicer!

[@thescaledraven5482]

I mean if you can stand up in the space it is safe to say you can be upside down in the same space...

[@markemiller1234]

hello. As a life in the restaurant industry I compliment you on the care and creative menu planning you do in providing for your crew. Any thoughts on opening your own restaurant .....On land? Great videos...your always appear your self and seemingly positive

[@rexthe0245]

Love your content, My question is what do you do about crew that have preferences, As well as allergies to food, I have a very unusual allergy. I'm allergic too poultry, so what would you do? Cause you do like to serve a lot of chicken meals

[@Sunny-rh1yp]

Hey Oh! Chef Is it possible to get your lentil lasagna recipe? Also who plans the menu? You? Guest? Both?

[@chuckle79]

Nina, I mean ya. All good ya

[@SundayCookingRemix]

Whistle while u cut onions xo

[@joopverhoeven2923]

Absolutely amazing, Nina for president !!!!

[@misaghkhosravi4541]

IF UR STUFF R CREAMY ENOUGH , I MIGHT LIVE IN KITCHEN😂

[@cerbuscankerous3714]

I don't think I've ever worked that hard...😊

[@jefftukmolllkasoweirdinspired]

nice beautiful

[@MalHavoc47]

Nina you're so beautiful and such a good cook. But you're just cooking for the crew for a week, what happens when you cook for say 10 guest's then it must be alot harder on you. We'll keep smiling and keep up the good work.

[@nielsdebakker3283]

follow her own channel or the loon channel.

[@QuietStormX]

Cool ;-D

[@davidsmith422]

I assume she was a gymnast considering the ease of that hand stand.

[@Brokenbutt1]

Your food looks awesome, my phat butt wants to come aboard just to eat…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. WOW Excellent.👍😍
