FOOD · MARKETS · HOSPITALITY
A galley tells you a lot about a voyage.
Food aboard Folie A2 sits between professional kitchen experience and whatever the next island actually offers. Markets, fish, bread, improvised meals and forty years of hospitality all belong to the same story.

THE ROUTE
FOOD AS PART OF THE ARCHIVE
Not a recipe blog. A record of how places taste.
Christian’s background gives the food stories a different starting point. The question is not only what was cooked, but what was available, how ingredients behaved aboard, what a market revealed about a place and how professional habits changed in a yacht galley.
From restaurant kitchen to yacht galley
Four decades in professional kitchens do not disappear when the workspace becomes smaller. They change priorities: organisation matters more, ingredients have to travel well and good food has to fit the rhythm of a voyage.
Markets are part of the route
Local markets are one of the fastest ways to understand what an island or port actually eats. Availability, season and price often tell a more useful story than a restaurant recommendation.
Cooking belongs to life aboard
The galley is not a staged backdrop. It is used every day. Food therefore sits naturally beside technical systems, routes and people in the Folie A2 archive.
FOOD & CONTEXT
Food aboard also tells the story of a place
A market is often more revealing than a list of recommended restaurants. Season, price and everyday ingredients show what people actually cook and what provisioning looks like away from a familiar supermarket.
Nador: from market to table
Our curiosity in Nador led from the market to an invitation and eventually to the Tajine story.
Christian’s professional background
His restaurant history is documented on Restaurant-Schiff.de. Longer kitchen stories and books continue through Aurelia Blue Publishing.
Still part of the voyage
On Folie A2, food stays connected to travel: markets, provisioning and cooking are part of how a place is experienced from a yacht.
