It’s a beautiful day on the Chesapeake, with the sun filling the cockpit and hinting of spring to come. I’m jumping the season a bit but will take full advantage of any nice day in January. So my thoughts turned to asparagus. And I had all the makings for a wonderful avgolemono…silky Greek lemon and…
Okra is a staple down here in Louisiana, and it’s super easy to grow — the plants are hearty and productive and if you harvest daily (which you must or you will have pods more suited to military than culinary applications) you will have a good pound a week from one plant. Of course, not…
I love living on a dock where the evening cocktail conversation turns to “Have you cut your pasta yet?” That’s what happens when your skipper turns into Chef Boyardee and you live a few slips down from the Tiny Galley Chef. Fresh pasta reigns on the C Dock! For my Skipper Doug it all started…
My skipper has been pushing for more vegetarian meals these days so I’m trying to oblige. I found this recipe on one of the NYT Cooking daily emails a few weeks back. It’s a creation from Yewande Komolafe who grew up in Lagos and is now in New York. She also has a repertoire of…
My skipper and I went to the Annapolis Farmer’s Market last weekend and were a little overwhelmed. Along with all the root vegetables, berries, cheeses and honey, we were totally drawn to José and his table of mushrooms, from The Bay Mushrooms. I was on a mission to purchase some oyster mushrooms, but my eyes…
If any of your New Years resolutions included eating less meat, this is a great recipe to keep in your repertoire. My skipper and I recently spent some time living the vegetarian lifestyle* and I labored over recipes I’d never ventured into before. Tofu was my challenge. Getting tofu to be crispy, like some restaurants…
Having drinks in the cockpit with friends we thought we knew, a “past life secret” slips out. Nancy and her mother had a pierogi business, Pirogi Priest, in her earlier days in Connecticut. They made each pierogi by hand to benefit a children’s charity started by a local Catholic priest, then sold their pierogis nationally.…
A grab-and-go breakfast is never overrated on a sailboat. These can be eaten under way with nothing more than a hand and a napkin. There’s no limit to what you can put in them. Add some bacon or sausage for your meat lovers. Plus they can be refrigerated or frozen ahead. Make a few dozen…
Galley Pirate Caroline here, and I’m finally pulling my head out of the sand after sailing the first few legs of the 2018 World ARC. I have departed SV Solitude, said farewell to all the beautiful creatures of the Galápagos and am ready to start reminiscing about some of the wonderful meals we had under way.
Our apologies to all you followers! The recipe picture is no longer appearing in your weekly emails. Aaargh…the problems that can come with site upgrades. We’ll resolve it some day. But in the mean time, do check out the new RECIPE page that has a much easier way of finding those great recipes. And…
