Bride and Groom Hamilton 400 Felicita West Testimonials

Our business has been built on reputation . .

I have to say thank you so much for everything. The food was spectacular! My friends still rave about our wedding and the food. It was exactly what I was imagining and the table platters worked a treat, making it more formal than a buffet, but less so than a stuffy 3 course table-service dinner. The ice creams were a huge success as well... I think I personally managed to eat 2 or 3, as did most people I spoke to!!

V8 Super Cars Hamilton 2008 - A very successful weekend and people raved about the food and service provided by Global Cuisine. We could not have asked for anything better and have recommended your service to the entire marketing team here at Hancock's. The food was of such and excellent quality we had a number of guests asking who the caterer was.

I had the pleasure of chartering Felicita West on two occasions in 2006-2007, for Christmas holidays in the Caribbean in late 2006, and then in June 2007 for a tour of Corsica and Sardinia. The first time I chartered this lovely Perini Navi was because of the ship herself.
The second time around I came for David's food.
Without exception, David prepared the most delicious and beautiful food I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying in a private setting. He is skilled at creating meals from simple breakfasts to elaborate four course dinners without losing sight of the most important element in cooking: taste.
I find that there are a lot of chefs in the world-and I travel extensively, and always first class-who can turn out "pretty" food that simply is not tasty. David, on the other hand, has the gift of taste. He understands flavors, textures, and seasonings to a level that I would classify as an art form. Simply put, this guy can cook.
I was likewise impressed with David's coordination abilities in delivering such high class cuisine. As a former yacht owner, I understand the challenges of provisioning for two weeks underway, while trying to produce top meals for a dozen crew members and 10 discerning guests.
Not once did David fail to produce a desired meal or specialty, and when we had parties aboard, his theme meals and buffets were both plentiful and delicious. Not an easy feat when faced with a limited larder, but David is a master of using his stores wisely and well.
Lastly, there is just David himself. He is a joy to work with. He truly understands how to interface with clients to produce the meals and parties they want.
I often found myself in Felicitia's galley, talking over meals and food and cooking in general with David, and even, on occasion, whipping up a dish along side him. There aren't many chefs whose egos would allow such a thing! David will be sorely missed on the high seas, and I am bereft at the thought of another charter without him! Lucky New Zealand!
