Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Maverick Sea Fare is more than just a cookbook that emphasizes tropical fruits, vegetables, and seafood, it is an artistic reflection of the author's years as wife and cook aboard the 76' Brixham Trawler Maverick, chartering in the Caribbean. It is that rare thing amongst cookbooks - a good read, equally at home in the galley or on the coffee table.


From the Publisher

Pen & ink drawings and hand lettered text embellish every page of this little gem. Maverick was a small windjammer that carried passengers through the islands, from Grenada's lush shores to the Virgin Islands, giving folks a taste of tropical sights and cookery.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Culinary and Island Classic, June 23, 2000
By john@b-v-i.com (United States) - See all my reviews
Charter boat routines and meals fit for "early mornings anchored out in the islands," give way to Maverick favorites as they blossom more generally into salads, breads and desserts. Soon the focus shifts to tropical ingredients such as coconut and fruits, vegetables and chutney, conch and fish the way it is caught off the boat. Born in a "space the size of an ordinary broom closet," the many recipes are easy and well-honed as well as exotic and delightful enough to serve paying guests.

But this book, published in 1977 and reprinted, is more. The hand-lettered text and many drawings were all done by the author herself. It is, Dee says, a record of the "very good years" she spent as the chef, and wife, on a small charter windjammar, the Maverick, sailing the Caribbean. Indeed, it is a work of art with the calligraphy all intertwined with wonderful drawings. A classic little book offering valuable insight into food and life in the islands.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a cookbook, October 4, 1999
I bought Maverick Sea Fare in 1980 while sailing in the British Virgin Islands. Not only does it have great recipes, but great illustrations and commentary. Just looking through the book always takes me back to the Islands. Among favorite recipes are the Maverick French Toast and Stuffed Christophenes. We often use the current edition, smaller and softcover, for gifts for our sailing friends.
