About | victoriafenyo.com

Hello there, I’m Victoria,

I am a freelance private chef available to work on luxury yachts, in private villas, and for both corporate and private events.

A Little About Me:

I began my professional journey in the world of finance, climbing the ranks to become a Bank Director. After a decade in the banking sector, I realized my heart yearned for something entirely different. I left the security of my banking career and embarked on a journey of self-discovery in search of a new purpose. I travelled the world, and it was during this time that I found myself on the unfamiliar deck of a luxury yacht as a deckhand-stewardess.

Fate then guided me into the ship’s kitchen to prepare an unexpected dinner for the guests. The appreciation and praise I received that day ignited a spark within me and led me into the world of gastronomy.

After a couple of years of cooking, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a formally trained chef. In 2019, I completed a 1★ Michelin-star gastronomic chef’s course at Gastronomicom Cookery School in Agde, South West France.

In 2020, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in MasterChef Hungary. After competing against thousands of applicants, I made it to the semi-finals in televised episodes. This was a challenging and educational experience that I truly enjoyed.

In 2023, I participated in the prestigious Yacht Chef Competition in Monaco. While the ultimate victory eluded me, the experience taught me valuable lessons in perseverance and personal development.

I am passionate about continuously learning new skills, particularly exploring cultural cuisines. In 2024, I travelled to Tokyo to learn authentic Japanese sushi preparation methods under expert guidance.

My Cooking Style:

My cooking style reflects the way I like to eat: fresh, healthy, and interesting food with an emphasis on detail. I am experienced in accommodating a variety of dietary requirements, including gluten-free, lactose-free, paleo, and more.

Over the past 15 years, I have gained a wealth of experience working on both private and charter yachts, cooking in destinations such as the United States, the Caribbean, Japan, and the Mediterranean.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss your requirements. I look forward to bringing my passion for food and culinary expertise to your next event.

Thank you,
Victoria
