Customer Reviews

Great recipes and a fascinating book!

I've always wondered what it's like to live aboard the super-yachts I've seen docked at harbors around the world. Now I know! Victoria Allman's stories have just the right blend of humor and sassiness. My only complaint: the recipes make me hungry!

An eating and traveling adventure

I loved this book. It has it all: travel, adventure, humanity, and fantastic cooking and eating! Victoria talks about food in wonderfully sensuous and sexy words; her descriptions of food are as though she's describing a lover. I've cooked some of her recipes and they were wonderful. Her passion and personality enrich the book the way spices and herbs infuse her dishes. It's a book about boats and food and travel and people--and I couldn't put it down.

A Savory and Exotic Expedition ....

What a page turner! So beatifully written - you feel as though you are on the adventure with Victoria! Her descriptions of each adventure from preparing meals in a cramped kitchen as the waves knocked her around, to swimming with the dolphins and the friendships and romance ...keep you waiting for what is going to happen next! And the mouth watering descriptions of her food preparations make you so grateful that the recipes are at the end of the chapter! Highly recommend!

Can't Stop Reading!

What an amazing adventure! I can't stop reading! Wonderful description, interesting narrative. Very well written. I feel like leaving home and traveling the world!
