I'm not cooking on a boat, but take frequent motorcycle trips. we have small room to pack and one burner. I was looking for other recipes that would be easy with my one burner and *very* limited cooking gear.

This book gave great tips on maximizing limited packing space (I changed my 2 quart pan to a 5 quart); good things to pack and had some great recipes.

I'm very happy with this book--and will look at some of the author's other authorings...

2.0 out of 5 stars No Fish Recipes!
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2012

I'm off on a 2 week sailing adventure in the Caribbean (my 1st!) and bought this book so I'd be of some use in the galley. The book was originally written for campers/backpackers. The forward has been re-written to include stove types and cooking techniques on a boat. However, other than the forward, I assume none of the recipes have been changed from the original version as there are no fish recipes! There is a cooking chart at the front of the book that gives cooking times for fish and shellfish but among the recipes there is not a single seafood recipe. Several of the recipes could probably be re-worked to use fish instead of poultry or beef but the author offers no suggestions on how to do this. Now, as a newcomer to the sailing world, perhaps I am naïve but I'm expecting fish to be a major food source on this trip. Even near shore I expect we will find it easier to purchase seafood than Cornish game hens. The recipes that are in the book look yummy but I sure won't be taking this book on our trip.

Simple, relevant, as it says on the cover but maybe not so gourmet. Adaption of some ready made ingredients required.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Cookbook !
Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2013

I purchased this cookbook for the purposes of utilizing the small galley aboard a small liveaboard sailboat. I like to keep things simple aboard. I like that in the book they also mention exactly what implements are needed to keep the galley uncluttered, I found out one doesn't need 10 pots to cook a meal. When they do mention extra equipment they are specific about the brand and model numbers so that I can do the research and find out if it's compatible with my equipment. They mention how to pack food in containers to keep it fresh as well as how to calculate the amounts required for number of day you'll be aboard. I like to keep the boat uncluttered so having one cookbook aboard that offers so many choised and is small in size is excellant. If you haven't yet found a cookbook that suits your needs aboard this would be a very good choise. I consider myself to be a fairly good cook aboard without too much fuss, but this book offers great ideas for the days when you want to do something easy and quick and then retire to the cockpit with a fine after dinner glass of wine or port.

Thin and barely legible. BAD execution of a good idea.

Recipes look good, however - when I get the means to squint at the awful font.
