If the chef is unhappy the crew are unhappy. When the chef is good and willing to accommodate the different likes and dislikes of a crew, that makes the entire ship company happy. Big point is how clean the place is very important particularly getting different foods on board from all ports. Great video.

Believe it or not. The only position on a ship that MUST be filled before sailing, is that of ships cook with the certificate to prove it. You can get a time and distance waiver from the authorities for Capt., Chief., even Doctor, but not cook!!

Mmmm all that delicious Indian food I'd be in heaven on the ship, I'm from the UK but Indian food is by far my favourite and eat loads of it and i personally think it's the best food in the world with so many different flavours.

[@ms.annthrope415]

Good food promotes good morale, keeps crew working hard. Its not just the nutritional value of the food, but keeps the crew happy on those long days and weeks at sea. Their only diversion is their food and their books and videos/DVDs. I love indian food. The potatoes and cauliflower curry is so good. Chicken curry. Love persian food too. Kebabs and basmati rice with saffron with fire roasted tomatoes. To die for. Oh i would work on the ship just to get a steady diet of this wonderful chef's cooking.

[@Lost-In-Blank]

I love how the crew you interview are always so positive and so well spoken. Especially these two gentlemen. It is 9:00 PM here now, otherwise I'd be on the phone ordering Indian Food delivery.

love the cook. what a cool guy. seems very friendly, very educational. ironically, it is the galley that is likely the least understood parts of the ship for most people. it is also good to note that the store room and food will be stocked significantly different from ship to ship. For Jones Act US ships where crew is fully American, you can expect the food and stores to be what you would find normally in USA.

Great video. Thanks. I spent most of my time at sea on a large cruise liner eating from a reduced passenger menu. It was ok, yes,just okay. I spent 4 months on a cargo ship that carried 12 passengers. British Officers, Indian crew. I have never eaten so well in my life !!! Every meal was restaurant quality, there was always at least 1 or 2 British dishes, on the day that roast beef was served, that is what all the staff ate, and thoroughly enjoyed. The Chef even did his own Haggis on Scottish occasions. Always superb . The following day he would serve curried haggis. The Chef was a genius !! The Chef on a ship, no matter its size, can make or break a crews morale . Again, great work on the video. Thank you!

[@sun57vin]

It's said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach ! If a Chief Cook can achieve this, then he would be the most loved person on board 😊. Both the cooks had a pleasant demeanour and that should earn them some extra brownie points. Established companies provide fleet personnel with both good quality and quantity of food items and an experienced cook should be able to make best use of it. Credit goes for the galley staff as they ensure food, soup included, still comes to the table even in the roughest of seas. Catering to different nationalities on board would mean that the Chief Cook needs to update himself to satisfy all types of tummies. The 'worth' of a contract is also measured by the quality of food that was served and if it was good, then that Chief Cook would be remembered forever.
