Hello, passionate cruisers! I am delighted to welcome this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Chef Bri Bullard, creator of Authentique Delights. I learned of Chef Bri when I hosted Nikki and Tommie Jones of Jones Getaways podcast a couple months ago Ep 123. The Jones’ had traveled on AmaWaterways Soulful Epicurean French River Cruise on AmaKristina in June, a bucket list cruise Cheryl and I were booked for a few months later. Tommie mentioned in a way that I can just describe as “mouth-watering,” Chef Bri’s presence and culinary role on that journey. Yes, as you can hear me vow on the podcast, I did follow-up with AmaWaterways to inquire whether Chef Bri was going to be on our voyage. She wasn’t but her presence was felt, which I will explain shortly.

Jazzmine Douse, AmaWaterways Senior Director, National Accounts, said, “This past June, we invited Chef Bri her company is Authentique Delight, and she came on as a featured chef in June and she was able to prepare a menu for us as we celebrated Juneteenth onboard the Soulful Experiences. So, we are always looking to continually involve these experiences and add aspects to it, do some trial and error, and this Juneteenth concept is one we want to incorporate in the future Soulful Experiences and it’s our hope to be able to feature Black chefs on each one of these experiences, but it is a work in progress. At least for now we established a fantastic itinerary with Chef Bri, she did a fantastic job and there was so much great feedback onboard from the meals she prepared and just talking about freedom and celebration of our heritage and it was truly amazing.”

Chef Bri Bullard was born and raised in the Bahamas and has been passionate about cooking since the age of eight. Growing up surrounded by the bounties of the ocean, she developed a deep love for seafood, which has become a hallmark of her culinary creations. Her early interest in cooking was matched by her diverse skills, including certification as a welder, demonstrating her versatility and dedication.

Chef Bri’s exceptional talent has garnered her widespread recognition. She has been featured on CHCH News (Hamilton Ontario), highlighted in The Tribune (the Bahamas' national newspaper), and acclaimed in Cruise Critic. Her reputation as a world-renowned celebrity chef is well-deserved, having cooked for elites across France, the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean.

Known for her unique approach to cuisine, Chef Bri aims to create edible art through her dishes, seamlessly blending elegance with bold flavors. Her motto, “Fancy Meets Flavor, Quality Fresh Flavor Always,” reflects her commitment to high standards in both presentation and taste.

Currently, Chef Bri is channeling her expertise into several exciting projects. She is working on a cookbook, offering cooking lessons, and developing a line of specialty seafood sauces. Her endeavors continue to inspire and delight food enthusiasts around the globe.

Chef Bri is the 3rd chef we have had the pleasure of hosting on The Joy of Cruising Podcast and I appreciate greatly that she has decided to join us.
