Recipes from a Maine Windjammer



"At Home, At Sea: Recipes from the Maine Windjammer".

"A simple time. A simpler life. And simply wonderful food. The recipes and stories in At Home, At Sea recreate life on a Maine Windjammer: a week in a different world, a different century, with homemade, old-world food cooked with fire and passion. In these pages you’ll find memories of the Age of Sail -- the gleam of brass, the sound of the wind in the rigging, and the delicious smells of Maine cooking -- baked breads from the woodstove, steamed lobster, hearty stews, and mouthwatering desserts -- all from the galley of the Schooner J&E Riggin. Chef Anne Mahle started as a mess cook on one of the windjammers and quickly developed a passion for cooking. She has spend the last 15 years working and learning, graduating from mess cook to head cook on the windjammers to private chef on a Caribbean yacht. She further developed her skills as sous chef to classically trained Swiss chef Hans Bucher and at The Culinary Institute of America. She currently owns and operates the J&E Riggin with her husband, Captain Jon Finger."

There are so many delicious recipes in this cookbook. I met the author at a cooking class at Now You're Cooking in Bath. She's a wonderful instructor and good lord that woman can cook! I also love seeing her new recipes every other week in the Portland Press Herald's food section and on her blog Artichokes & Asparagus. She is so approachable and always answers my questions. So glad you featured her cookbook!
