Chef Neslihan Ulutas
Neslihan Ulutas graduated from University in Turkey with a degree in Tourist Management. Her first position after graduating was in a boutique hotel on the beautiful Lycain Coast of Turkey. She found her sea legs in 2004 and since then has been on the fast track to gaining experience and qualifications. Neslihan holds a RYA Day Skipper Certificate and STCW 95 certificate and having lived in England, speaks fluent English.
Neslihan began her career in yachting as a stewardess which she enjoyed very much. It was not long, however, before she realized that cooking was her true passion.
During the winter of 2007 she completed SITCA, a Basic Thai Cuisine Cooking Course in Kho Samui, Thailand. Neslihan’s cooking style is a delightful mix of Mediterranean & Asian cuisines. However, she does have a sweet tooth and thoroughly enjoys baking home-made cakes, pastries and other sweets!
Neslihan is delighted with her multi-faceted position on board MIRA. Guests will find that she truly enjoys her work and is focused on giving all it takes to provide charterers with the very best holiday experience on board S/Y MIRA.
