The Great Cruising Cookbook: An International Galley Guide

Midwest Book Review
The Great Cruising Cookbook will rescue the cruising sailor from a life of canned foods and bland foods. The Great Cruising Cookbook features over 350 recipes, a worldwide provision guide, a trove of information on exotic foods, professional approach to refrigeration and galley equipment, a unique tropical fruit guide, rough weather foods, and a large selection of outstanding seafood recipes. The Great Cruising Cookbook is as much fun for the armchair sailor as it is the round-the-world yachtsman.


Living Aboard, November/December 1997
Here's a book to hurl at the culinary barbarian on your crew, though it's a lot more than a simple defense against indigestion....John Payne, who writes with wit and clarity, makes the business of learning to be a good sea cook much more entertaining than it might otherwise be....All in all, this is an excellent guide to the task of providing good food afloat. Payne includes a lot of basic-but-need-to-know stuff, like: what kind of fruits and vegetables keep and how long, how to (really!) catch fish, galley equipment, safety, on board gardening (sprouting), and hundreds of really excellent recipes. I've tried a number of them, and I haven't hit a dud yet. In fact, I'd go so far as to recommend this cookbook to folk who never go cruising at all; it's that good.
