The latest episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3, which aired on Monday, June 13, 2022, featured a wedding. A new group of charter guests came on board Parsifal III to celebrate the wedding of Allegra Gray and Gabe Szczepanek.
Before their arrival in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 Episode 16, crew members were sent the guest profiles and a food allergy list. One of the guests was allergic to gluten and dairy products. This made it difficult for chef Marcos Spaziani to come up with a lavish menu.
Spaziani managed to pull off some delicious recipes but was worried about the wedding cake, which also had to be gluten-free. The chef explained that gluten-free cakes never tasted good.
Considering Spaziani’s past achievements, viewers had a lot of faith in him. He did not disappoint as he showcased his culinary skills through delicious gluten-free dishes.
Fans were impressed with the chef's performance under pressure and took to Twitter to praise him.
What do fans have to say?
Chef Marcos Spaziani has been feeling physically and emotionally exhausted since the last episode.
In Episode 15, Spaziani received news from home that his best friend’s mother had passed away. The chef was seen breaking down in tears, but he kept working as there were charter guests on board.
Just when he thought of relaxing after the guests left, captain Glenn Shephard announced that the next group of guests would be arriving the following day for a wedding.
As a result, Spaziani didn’t get any break before starting the preparation for the next charter. He was seen worried about the gluten-free wedding cake as he was unsure whether it would turn up moist.
In Episode 16, Spaziani was seen decorating the three-tier cake, which looked beautiful. However, the final result will be out in the season finale next week.
In the episode, Spaziani mentioned that his mother owned a bakery, and he wanted to make her proud by baking a great cake.
Here's how fans reacted to the culinary skills that Spaziani gracefully showcased under pressure:
