With 85 fuss-free and fabulous recipes inspired by the sea, The Boat Cookbook serves up simple, mouth-watering galley grub—prepared almost as quickly as it will be devoured by your hungry crew.

For anyone with a tiny galley kitchen, there's good news: no more bland leftovers aboard. These delicious and easy recipes, all made with minimum fuss and maximum flavor, will allow you to spoil yourself in the harbor and keep things simple at sea—not to mention rustle up a mean rum punch.

The book includes recipe contributions from top chefs (Chris Galvin, Angela Hartnett, Kevin Mangeolles, Ed Wilson and Judy Joo) and sailing legends (Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Mike Golding, Brian Thompson, Shirley Robertson and Dee Caffari). With handy ideas on setting up the galley, a lazy guide to filleting mackerel and tips for hosting the perfect beach barbecue, this is the must-have guide for sailors and seaside-lovers alike.

Editorial Reviews

With handy ideas in setting up the galley, a lazy guide to filleting mackerel and tips for hosting the perfect beach barbecue, this is the must-have guide for sailors and seaside-lovers alike.” —Yachting Times

“Sims has sailed since the age of eight and spent countless weekends and holidays on boats off the south coast of England. Her unpretentious book includes recipes from chefs-turned-boatmen such as Chris Galvin (I particularly like his piperade basquaise - a spicy tomato pepper marmalade to scoff with scrambled eggs and croutons) as well as professional seamen like Robin Knox- Johnston (I recommend his spicy dhal)... I can't help being transported to salty harbours up and down the country and feeling the tug of the sea.” —Ajesh Patalay, Financial Times

“Beautifully illustrated and packed from cover to cover with thoroughly 'galley cook friendly' recipes for palate pleasing and appetite satisfying dishes, The Boat Cookbook: Real Food for Hungry Sailors truly lives up to its title and will prove to be a welcome and enduringly appreciated personal, family, and community library cookbook collections.” —Midwest Book Review
