About Dean

“I’ve worked on yachts for 15 years and have loved every minute, most recently Head Chef on Project X. I have built a following of over 112K and nearly 30K on YT where I have documented my work behind-the-scenes. Now I want to show you how to do it with my masterclass @becomeayachtchef. I’ll be recommending courses from around the world – this is my culinary course choice.

Reviews

The instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable.  The course was a refinement and confidence building course for us that were self taught already working as chefs. We used quality ingredients from local producers.  Highly recommend.

I've been working in yachting for 5 years and I was toying with the idea of moving into the galley. A friend of mine recommended me to WhitePepper.  An epic learning experience.  The whole team at white pepper make it a fulfilling experience!

Morgan

The course with WP exceeded all my expectations! Before the course I had no culinary skills whatsoever and I felt like I accomplished so much. The tutors are extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient and were there for me every step of the way.
