5.0 out of 5 stars The Cruising Chef Cookbook, June 9, 2000

This review is from: Cruising Chef Cookbook, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Having just begun sailing, cruising and cooking aboard our sailing vessel, I wanted an up-to-date good reference manual. I found this book quite by chance. I consider this to be an essential item for the "chef" aboard ship. Every tip imaginable is included. The recipes are simple to prepare, yet elegant and tasty. To my surprise it also contains a section on what to do with certain food obtained "on the hoof" in 3rd world countries. I will buy this book for friends as a Bon Voyage present. A "must-have" book in the galley! The sailing stories scattered about the book are also good reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, January 26, 2001

Excellent recipes that kept two guys well fed during a year in the Caribbean and scurvy free when crossing the Atlantic.

The stories are very funny, the fishing guide hysterical - this guy has had some life.
