Monaco, which has recently called itself the Capital of Advanced Yachting, welcomed nine chefs to the yacht club, who cook on formats ranging from 30 to 78 metres ("Hampshire II"). Just before they took to the cooker, the ingredients such as purple artichoke, lime, kumquat and courgette flowers were announced. They then had 40 minutes to convince the critical palates of the four-member jury, headed by Parisian Michelin-starred chef Nicolas Sale. The winner was Nicolas Petit from the 43 metre long "Latitude" and served a duck breast on pea mousseline and black garlic, accompanied by baby carrots and duck jus, followed by a tuile with pineapple roasted in rosemary.
