    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Here's a book to hurl at the culinary barbarian on your crew, though it's a lot more than a simple defense against digestion...John Payne, who writes with wit and clarity, makes the business of learning to be a good sea cook much more entertaining than it might otherwise be...All in all, this is an excellent guide to the task of providing good food afloat. Payne includes a lot of basic-but-need-to-know stuff, like: what kind of fruits and vegetables keep and how long, how to (really!) catch fish, galley equipment, safety, on board gardening (sprouting), and hundreds of really excellent recipes.

    Long description:

    The Great Cruising Cookbook by John C. Payne...is as practical an onboard cookbook as you're likely to come across. Easy, simple to follow recipes using ingredients typically found in any galley provide for hearty, satisfying meals at sea. Additionally, chapters on outfitting a galley and choosing provisions start off the book. Payne's book is chock full of recipes that include little or no meat, which certainly will please the vegetarian crew, but serves the more important and immediate purpose of reducing the reliance on refrigerated foods. How nice to have a cookbook that allows us to use what we best like to stow rice, pasta, legumes and hearty fruits and vegetables things that won't go bad the day after leaving port. Flesh eaters, however, need not worry; there are plenty of recipes for cooking meat, including such exotic and savory fare as goat stroganoff and barbequed Thai garlic chicken. And, of course, there are more seafood recipes than you can shake a chum bucket at. Go ahead and buy that fresh octopus in port, Payne will help you turn it into a dish to remember.
