Cook Like A Private Chef

These are the exact recipes I cook for guests on private superyachts and luxury villas in the Mediterranean. Not simplified versions. Not adapted for home cooks. The real ones plated, served, and loved by people who eat at the best tables in the world.
Now you can make them at home.
Cook Like A Private Chef is a collection of 25 Mediterranean and Spanish recipes by Aina Mayo, a professional private chef working on luxury superyachts. From a silky sea bass carpaccio finished with edible flowers, to a slow-cooked paella, to a fig sorbet that tastes like summer. Every recipe comes with step-by-step instructions, essential kitchen foundations, and the chef tips I actually use on board.
Inside you’ll find:
• Kitchen foundations no one teaches you (broths, flavored oils, homemade mayo)
• Small plates & starters worthy of any dinner table
• Show-stopping main dishes
• Desserts with a Mediterranean soul
Whether you’re cooking for a dinner party or just want to finally understand why things taste the way they do, this book will change how you cook.
