S/Y Hyperion’s Winning Recipe
The 60th Anniversary of the Antigua Yacht Show hosted a small and premium selection of yachts, crews, brokers, pres, and vendors. This made the experience for all participants less harried and very relaxing. Well maybe, except for the yacht chefs that entered the Chef Competition.
Chef Competition Coordinator, Elizabeth Lee said “Every chef showed great skill, technique, and flavor. One dish that stood out in my mind, as well as the other judges, was Chef Julian Brown’s first course onboard M/Y Lionshare. He served ‘Ships Caviar Petrossian Ration’. This dish was served encapsulated inside a single portion tin can. We peeled back the lid and inside was a layered appetizer of Petrossian Caviar, Crème fraiche, Chive and steak tartar. It was very clever and delicious”.
The winner of the Best Main Course, Chef Scully, shared her winning recipe. She was born on the North Atlantic Coast and loves all things cold, dark, and grey. Five years ago, she became a yacht chef and brought recipes and influences from around the world; from street kitchens to three-star restaurants.
