Culina began while we were living and travelling aboard our catamaran Culina II. As we moved through different places, one thing became clear. Food was the fastest way to connect with people and culture.

Culina is built on a lifetime around food. Brent trained as a chef and worked in kitchens from age 15 before moving into corporate leadership while remaining closely connected to food and hospitality.

Along the way, we saw a gap. There was no single, central hub for chefs, home cooks, travellers, and creators to share recipes professionally while staying connected to their audiences and identities.

So we built Culina.

Culina is a home for recipes and the people behind them. We provide the structure, systems, and presentation so creators can focus on the food and the story. Every recipe remains linked to its author without requiring websites or technical setup.

Our travels shape our perspective, but Culina is bigger than sailing. It is about preserving recipes, sharing knowledge, and building a global food community.
