Requested Recipes and Thoughts on Cooking |
This, like all of the web page, is going to be a work in progress. If the words are highlighted you can click on them to go a recipe or a section that has my thoughts about cooking. Over the twenty plus years that I have chartered, cruised, done sail training, and lived aboard the Alcyone, I have developed certain cooking habits. They differ depending on whether we are chartering, doing an offshore passage, or are getting youth involved in cooking (forget the sailing): baking Banana Bread in the morning before guests arrive for a charter, or making First Nights Soup on an ocean passage, or helping organize a successful Calazone dinner on a youth trip. I am planning on mentioning some recipes and tips. I will see how this goes. People always assume that I am this great cook. I do enjoy cooking while I am on the boat, I think that it is the pace involved. What I am doing when I am on the boat is cooking, I am not trying to rush off and get a hundred other things done. I am cooking and trying to figure out how to keep everyone happy. I don't know that I am a great cook though, so when people pay me that compliment, I thank them and usually reply, " It is all the fresh air that makes the food taste so good", that and the fact that they aren't having to do the cooking. There are certain recipes people are always asking for and these are the recipes that follow: Dill Sauce ( served with salmon) Banana Bread Calzones ( We switched from pizza to this because then everyone can have the toppings they like.) |
