The Cruising Chef Cookbook

The Cruising Chef Cookbook is the bestselling, most extensive sailors' cookbook ever written. Twenty-two years in print and ten reprints make it clear that sailors consider it essential equipment.The new Cruising Chef is actually a book of nautical wisdom in the guise of a cookbook. It contains hundreds of tips plus more than 300 delicious recipes. Includes an extensive discussion of preparing for a voyage and resupplying in native markets.Special Cooking Techniques describes pressure cooking, stir frying and grilling, particularly useful techniques for the galley chef. Greenwald's salty humor is found throughout the book. His vignette, Planning for the Big Eater is a delight. Fishing is a sidesplitting description of his idea of sport fishing.

No matter what anyone tells you, boat cooking IS different from cooking ashore. The space is smaller, there’s no grocery store 5 minutes away, you have fewer prepared foods and electric appliances, and food storage is much different. Despite cruising different oceans, we—Jan and Carolyn--both faced the same challenges: eating well while having time to enjoy all the other great aspects of cruising. We love to snorkel, swim, kayak, explore—and just sit and admire the view. We learned with the cookbooks we both had aboard, and wished for information that wasn't available--like when Jan ended up with a frozen chicken complete with head and feet and no instructions on how to cut it up. When we couldn't get foods such as sour cream, English muffins, spaghetti sauce or yogurt, we adapted recipes to make our own. Other times, we experimented with substituting ingredients--maybe the result wasn’t identical, but it was still tasty. We ended up with over 150 substitutions and dozens of “make it yourself” options. As we traded recipes and knowledge with each other, we realized we were compiling information that became The Boat Galley Cookbook: 800+ recipes made from readily-obtainable ingredients with hand utensils, including numerous choices to suit every taste: not just one cake but 20, 16 ways to prepare fish, 10 regional barbeque sauces, and so on. Step-by-step directions to give even “non-cooks” the confidence they can turn out tasty meals without prepared foods. Detailed instructions on unfamiliar things like making yogurt and bread, grilling virtually every food imaginable, preparing and cooking freshly-caught fish and seafood, cutting up and boning meat, cooking in a Thermos and baking on the stove top, as well as lots of tips on how to do things more easily in a tiny, moving kitchen. All this in an easy-to-navigate format including side tabs on the Contents to help you find your way and extensive cross reference lists at the end of each chapter. Quick Reference Lists provide idea starters: suggestions of included recipes for such categories as Mexican, Asian, and Potluck. The Boat Galley Cookbook is designed to help you every step of the way. We hope it becomes a trusted reference on your boat, and a source of many enjoyable meals.

Here's everything you need to know to create and enjoy fresh, flavorful, and healthful cuisine aboard, with more than 450 time-tested, palate-pleasing recipes.

Under the direction of internationally renowned chef Rudi Sodamin, the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line has become one of the top destinations not only for vacation cruises-but for eating, as well.

Not just another cruising cookbook, Southwinds Gourmet: Easy Recipes from a Cruising Cook is a highly entertaining collection of stories and recipes. Written by Susan Garrett Mason, the book is not a matter-of-fact listing of recipes in a bland, here-they-are style. Instead, the book imaginatively explains the history of many foods, along with stories of how the author became acquainted with the recipes. The stories are every bit as enjoyable to read as the food is to eat. Susan started preparing these delightful meals while cruising with her husband aboard their boat in Florida and the Caribbean. She refined the recipes to accommodate the small galleys, tiny cooktops, and limited counter space of most boats. Sailors know there are many things to do while cruising other than spending time in the galley. Therefore, each recipe is easy to understand and quickly prepared using readily available ingredients. Southwinds Gourmet shows it does not take an experienced chef in a huge kitchen to prepare meals that are simply sublime. As a testament to the quality of the cookbook, all 100-plus recipes in the book originally appeared in Susan's long-running food column in Southwinds sailing magazine. A food column runs that long only if the stories and food are great. Even if you never intend to step foot on a boat, you can still enjoy this great cookbook and all the quick and easy recipes it contains.
