Chef Mercédes.
Mercédes was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands, and grew up close to the sea, where the untamed winds and powerful waves of the North Sea shaped her adventurous spirit. Initially pursuing a dream of becoming a prima ballerina, she studied at the Dutch National Ballet Academy and later danced with a company in New York. Despite her success, Mercédes felt compelled to a new path and returned to the Netherlands to study modern dance and choreography, as well as being irresistibly drawn to the sea.
Her love for the ocean led her to the marine industry, where she began working as a hostess and chef aboard yachts, combining her passion for wellness with the art of hospitality. Sailing through the Mediterranean, Mercédes crafted experiences that nourished both body and soul, drawing on her expertise in yoga, Pilates, and wholesome living to curate menus and environments that promote health and well-being.
Mercédes’ journey into wellness naturally extended to food, as she became passionate about the power of nourishing the body through mindful food preparation. In recent years, she took her love for cooking further, working on various yachts throughout the Mediterranean, where she blends her knowledge of wellness with her culinary creativity. As both a hostess and a chef, Mercédes connects deeply with people, ensuring that everyone she serves feels cared for, nourished, and inspired to embrace a wholesome lifestyle.
Reviews
Perfect Trip
We had the most amazing time aboard Epiphany with Nick and Angella. The sailing was fun and Nick was so patient with our 10 year old son who was in love with boating. The food was amazing. Every meal was above and beyond delicious. We were amazed we could eat so good on a boat. Everything was always kept neat and clean with ice restocked daily. The trip was perfect. We will miss it! - The Jeffries, WIlliams and Lostein families
Beautiful Culinary Results
We cannot overstate our appreciation for Angella's attention, hard work, and both tasty and beautiful culinary results. Our trip diary will include many photographs of her food because her plating was often gorgeous. To start, we were not an easy group to cook for. We had a number of dietary restrictions, and one especially picky eater. Angella cooked exactly to our needs, always conscientious to exclude or substitute particulars for the picky one. Angella was extremely well organized, enabling her to pack her boat with appropriate fresh fruits and vegetables for a 21 meal week. What she churned out of a limited boat kitchen was extremely impressive. Dishes were extrememly diverse, ranging from Thai lemongrass soup to chocolate lava cake to ceviche tacos with fried sweet potatoes and tzatziki sauce (trust us, it was a fantastic combinations!)
When Angella wasn't actively cooking (and cooking took up many hours daily), she was actively researching recipes, preparing cooking notes, tidying up the boat, and asking what else she might prepare for us. Between the three hefty meals a day, she brought out cheese platters, veggies and dips, and now her famous mojitos. In other words, Angella was busy from early mornings to late at night kitchen clean ups. Probably most appreciated was Angella's always friendly nature and welcoming smile. Angella was the star of the boat. - Stacy Raviv
