About this title

About the Author

Robert Pickens is a chef on some of the world’s most luxurious private/charter megayachts. He grew up in Mississippi, the grandson of a restaurateur, where he was first introduced to the world of food. Years later, while wandering across the country, he further developed his passion for food and decided upon attending culinary school. Consequently, to pay for his tuition, he worked as a deckhand on towboats pushing barges up and down the river systems of America. This is where he developed his other passion, life on the water.
