Imagine cooking three “squares” a day for 30 hungry guests in a kitchen the size of a walk-in closet? Don’t even think about using mixers, Cuisinarts or a gas stove…you are restricted to using hand utensils and piling logs into an antique wood stove that’s often tilted as you sail past the islands off mid-coast Maine!
Welcome to the world of Windjammer Cooking!
The good news is that two of the chefs battling these conditions have shared a recipe each for the Captain’s Table pages of Prow’s Edge Cruise Magazine at http://www.prowsedge.com/cruises-chef-paul-dorr.html and at http://www.prowsedge.com/cruises-chef-cara-lauzon.html.
More good news is that sailors and landlubbers alike can now recreate even more of these delicious dishes at home, using the newly released cookbook, Windjammer Cooking: Great Recipes from Maine’s Windjammer Fleet.The 154-page cookbook, a collaboration between each of the 12 captains in the Maine Windjammer Fleet and Smith/Kerr Associates, LLC, features chapters about each windjammer, including histories of the vessels, 115 breathtaking, full-color photographs, and 60 recipes.
An introductory chapter describes the windjamming experience and guides the reader to the various islands in the Penobscot Bay area—the sailing grounds of the fleet—and a charming treatise on the traditional Down East Lobster Bake, which is a hallmark of every windjammer cruise.
Windjammer Cooking: Great Recipes from Maine’s Windjammer Fleet is available at a retail price of $27.00, the book is available in select bookstores or online at www.sailmainecoast.com.
