Cruising Chef Cookbook, 2nd ed. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

The Cruising Chef Cookbook is the bestselling, most extensive sailors' 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 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 sidesplitting description of his idea of sport fishing.

The Great Cruising Cookbook: An International Galley Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers everything that a boater needs to know to prepare meals when the entire family will be on board a boat for a week or two at a time. As soon as you get over the shock and fear of no grocery store for a couple of weeks, run out and immediately buy this book.
The author covers all the aspects of cooking on a boat that you don't initially give any thought to if you are a weekend sailor. It is just not that easy to store everything that you need, cook while the boat tacks and jibes, and make certain that everyone's nutritional requirements are met. These things are important and the author covers them all. The author provides fruit and vegetable storage timelines under various types of storage. There are tips for cleaning the boats galley that only require 4 substances be contained on board.
The author also provides blank inventory sheets so that you can keep track of what you have on hand so that you are ready to restock at port. The author also gives you advice of what to buy and where to buy it at most common sailing ports outside the US. The Caribbean ports are covered in the most detail but the author does address other areas as well.
It never occurred to me that you could make rice, pasta or yogurt in a thermos, but darned if it doesn't work. And once you boil the water and close the lid you are back on deck. Would you have thought of gardening on a boat? Me neither, but this book covers sprouting and tells you how to do it.
If you are planning an extended cruise, this book is very complete, and will be much more useful than you think.

This is the cookbook every cruising sailor has been waiting for. It contains recipes from all over the world, covering everything from seafood, meat, and eggs to pasta, rice, and vegetables, as well as fruit, salads, baked goods, and drinks. As in every sport, good nutrition and a balanced diet are vital to successful sailing, and cruising cooking is a unique exercise in ingenuity, experimentation, and adaptation while using new ingredients in strange places and often under difficult circumstances (e.g., a small and moving galley). The Great Cruising Cookbook will help cruisers achieve all of their dietary goals, while avoiding a life of cans and bland foods.
