Fran’s cooking is inspirational. Having lived all over the world she has picked up all sorts of interesting culinary techniques which inject excitement into her food. She cooked every meal for a week for us on the "Great Escape" in the Kimberley and I regretted not being able to take her home with me.

Thank you Fran for your beautiful cuisine aboard The Great Escape last week. The diversity was mind boggling! From the chia pods to the lunchtime salads and the queen fish ceviche, you never failed to impress. It is obvious to all that you love what you do and are a nurturing soul. Brenton and I are both still thinking about your lovely dishes and are so thankful that you were a part of our trip. What you can do with a barbecue has to be seen to believed- I need that flat bread recipe! With love

Hi Fran.
Thank you so much for your lovely email. We were all quite emotional leaving the boat. I could rave forever about your beautiful offerings; we've spent the past few days reliving the highlights of the trip and the food rates right up there.
You never failed to wow us with your delicious meals, often conjured from the morning's catch, always offered with love and a smile. The food on the trip was so varied, not to mention delicious, and we looked forward to reading each day's menu.
The food rated as highly as the other magical experiences we enjoyed in the Kimberley.
Missing you, Nicole and Paul Reilly
