Easy Cooking at Sea


Book Description

Colour version. This amazing collection of recipes and galley advice was compiled over Zaffiro's 3½ year voyage from Europe to Australia with her partner and their young son, on board a 38 foot cruising catamaran. Their journey took them via the Lesser Antilles to the Eastern Seabord of the United States and Canada, then back down to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, stopping at many of the wonderful South Pacific Islands en route to Queensland. Her Italian ancestry lends a Mediterranean style to many of the recipes, whilst her British upbringing gives a wholesome feel to it all.

Son of a Sea Cook Cookbook


Book Description

The position of cook aboard a private yacht most often falls upon the marriage partner of the owner/captain and too often it is assumed that the skills acquired in the home kitchen will suffice afloat. Perhaps for day and the occasional overnight trips that might be true, but if you plan to venture farther afield, or afloat, there are far more factors to consider - provisioning, storage, meal planning, efficiently equipping the galley, preparing meals in much more confined space and without the readily available materials that you would have in the shore based kitchen, and last but not least, safety. Son of a Sea Cook provides the first time and even the experienced ship's cook with the necessary knowledge that with experience will become the skills to be a valued and sought after member of the crew.

Food at Sea


Book Description

Food at Sea: Shipboard Cuisine from Ancient to Modern Times traces the preservation, preparation, and consumption of food at sea, over a period of several thousand years, and in a variety of cultures. The book traces the development of cooking aboard in ancient and medieval times, through the development of seafaring traditions of storing and preparing food on the world’s seas and oceans. Following a largely chronological format, Simon Spalding shows how the raw materials, cooking and eating equipments, and methods of preparation of seafarers have both reflected the shoreside practices of their cultures, and differed from them. The economies of whole countries have developed around foods that could survive long trips by sea, and new technologies have evolved to expand the available food choices at sea. Changes in ship construction and propulsion have compelled changes in food at sea, and Spalding’s book explores these changes in cargo ships, passenger ships, warships, and other types over the centuries in fascinating depth of detail. Selected passages from songs and poems, quotes from seafarers famous and obscure, and new insights into culinary history all add spice to the tale.
