Several leading lights of the British culinary scene showcase their talent aboard P&O Cruises ‘Food Hero’ sailings.
Putting the “fine” in fine dining, cuisine on cruise ships has pushed the envelope to ensure the culinary experience at sea rivals the best restaurants on land. But it’s worth noting that while many hipster
restaurants back home have turned their back on classic cuisine in favour of fusions of this and mélanges of that, chefs on cruise ships don’t go in for these half-baked fads and uphold the premise that if the prose is purple, the food is overrated.
