Son of a Sea Cook Cookbook
The position of cook aboard a private yacht most often falls upon the marriage partner of the owner/captain and too often it is assumed that the skills acquired in the home kitchen will suffice afloat. Perhaps for day and the occasional overnight trips that might be true, but if you plan to venture farther afield, or afloat, there are far more factors to consider - provisioning, storage, meal planning, efficiently equipping the galley, preparing meals in much more confined space and without the readily available materials that you would have in the shore based kitchen, and last but not least, safety. Son of a Sea Cook provides the first time and even the experienced ship's cook with the necessary knowledge that with experience will become the skills to be a valued and sought after member of the crew.
