Windjammer
Cooking

                                                           By Dee Carstarphen

 

How would you like to cook for forty-five hungry people on an ancient, black-iron, wood-burning stove in a galley where you pump your water, cool the stores with ice, create pies, cakes, bread and pastry totally from scratch, and where an oven thermometer may as well be a figment of the imagination?

Well, here is the cook that will make the whole thing look as easy as rolling out an apple pie crust in the Windjammer Cooking cookbook by Dee Carstarphen.

                             Adventure's Galley

With the dominating and cantankerous black-iron wood stove  
called   = "Mame " =

A place for everything and everything in its place!

A cook's-eye view of a typical windjammer cruise off the coast of Maine evoking the special ambiance of New England, the excitement of sailing a large vessel, the bracing salt air that sharpens appetites, and the groaning galley tables that are an essential feature of these vacations. The bountiful fare is cooked up on an old iron wood stove which takes special handling to operate.

       It's an extraordinary week-long cruise on a wonderful old schooner, characterized by Dee's own hand-drawn, make-you-smile illustrations, plus recipe after recipe�from wholesome to the exotic--from the appetizer to the desserts�from the biscuits to the beans...(don't worry, it is for family-sized portions, not a whole schooner troop), and then she includes a sixteen-page, informative field-guide to the Maine windjammer fleet.

Testimonial:

"For anyone who enjoys simple down-to-earth cooking as well as the romantic windjammers, this is a must....it deserves a place alongside your favorite cookbooks."
