Anyone who has lived on a boat, with unexpected shortages of ingredients, knows the importance of being flexible. Marianne Gardner's recipes are totally adaptable for unusual pantry contents combined with the varied needs and wants of many people. The recipes are easy to follow, the menus are creative but not over-done, and the results are delicious.
The stories of world-wide travels of a Yacht-Chef are interesting and well written. This book is a great gift for any cook, especially those who have cruised the seas or cooked on boats.
