Welcome

I am Chef Amina Ly. I was born in Senegal.

I moved to Europe, where I pursued the Culinary Arts. I spent my youth working across France and Italy, in different restaurants as a hostess, eventually moving into the kitchen. 

After years of training at top Culinary Schools, I decided to take to the sea, working on a yacht. For years, I was the yacht chef learning the creative flexibility needed to provide fresh high quality meals while moving across oceans.

In those times, not on the water, I enjoyed cooking at the Monaco Grand Prix - including the honor of cooking for the Prince of Monaco. I’ve had the pleasure of cooking for royalty, now it is my great pleasure to cook for you.
