The Boater's Cookbook: 450 Quick & Easy Galley-Tested Recipes

Description

Toss the canned stews and moldy sandwiches: Eat well at every meal and enjoy the voyage, whether it's a day trip, overnighter, or long cruise. Boaters with limited space and cramped galleys can eat well and enjoy every meal if they know the tricks acquired by Sylvia Dabney and the boaters she has met over thirty years of cruising. Cooking on a small boat-sail or power-requires special attention few new boaters understand. Here is everything anyone needs to know about creating stunning meals in a small boat galley. This is what really works, time-tested by longtime sailors: recipes and the stories that came with creating them. It is like having a longtime cook along with you: what gadgets, stores, and supplies to have onboard a fully functioning yacht galley-whether it's a 27-foot sailboat or a 60-foot motor cruiser. Readers will also find a comprehensive list of what to bring and how to store it in limited space. Sylvia Dabney is a longtime live-aboard sailor with more than 60,000 offshore miles. She understands the necessity of a well-stored pantry and loves collecting recipes from around the cruising world. The recipes are organized in accessible chapters: Appetizers, Soups & Stews, Salads, Vegetables, Seafood, Chicken, and much, much more.

Sylvia Williams Dabney has sailed sixty thousand offshore miles with her husband, Stanley, during their fifteen years of living aboard full time. She holds a 100 Ton USCG Master License and has been a charter captain in the Caribbean for more than eight years, entertaining and cooking for the thousands of guests who sail aboard their Valiant 40, Native Sun.

"Sylvia is a natural raconteur and a wonderful cook." -George Day, Blue Water Sailing magazine "Far more than a cookbook, this is Sylvia's celebration of sailing, delicious food, and the good life afloat." -John Kretschmer, author of Sailing a Serious Ocean "Wow! A cookbook from Sylvia. I have never tasted Sylvia's cooking, but she is fairly intense, intelligent, and likes to live well, so I suspect it will be a good book." -Bob P., yacht designer "The Boater's Cookbook is a thorough and detailed compilation of a complete boater's galley from necessary gear to delicious recipes, interspersed with entertaining stories of the people she and her husband Stanley met during their years of cruising and the places they voyaged to, all wrapped up in a must-have book onboard or at home." -Bob Bitchin, founder of Latitudes & Attitudes magazine and TV, publisher of Cruising Outpost magazine "Sylvia is a natural raconteur and a wonderful cook." -George Day, Blue Water Sailing magazine "Far more than a cookbook, this is Sylvia's celebration of sailing, delicious food, and the good life afloat." -John Kretschmer, author of Sailing a Serious Ocean "Wow!
