The Cruising Chef Cookbook is the best-selling, most extensive sailors's 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, simple 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 side-splitting description of his idea of sport fishing. Other short stories include: Tap Dance on the Lifelines, a discussion about the meaning of fear which concludes that 'courage is part of the ship's equipment, like the lifelines...The Great Polvoronis Smuggle is a smugglers tale about running Christmas cookies into Gibraltar! If ever a cookbook was a page-turner, it's The Cruising Chef! Includes over 380 recipes. - from Amzon
