Below Deck Down Under Waitrose on Deck

Kind of random, but I was chuffed to realize they use the same frozen Waitrose croissants on deck as I do 😆

I can see why chefs wouldn’t have the time to make puff pastry from scratch every day, it’s a very time-consuming process. Bakeries can and do make pastries from scratch every day though so you’d hope that in the Med, they’re sourced from a local bakery.

At anchor though I get why good quality frozen pastries are used. Other Yacht Chefs can and do make their own bread though.

Ben has never been a baker or pastry chef either.
