I don't have any neat "boat recipes", but my experience is most things
that are simple to cook at home won't be too bad on the boat. A small pressure cooker may come in handy - we had a large one that was just too cumbersome to use on a daily basis, and we recently bought a small one specifically for the boat. The real issue will be living without refrigeration, but with a good icebox you can make do. One "trap" we fell into went we took off for a year was assuming we would change our habits to suit boat life. Its easy to have special food for a few days, but on longer trips you'll probably find you want to eat the same food you eat at home. In other words, if you like pasta, or rice, or chicken, or beef, those will be the same foods you'll want on the boat. So while its fine to look for recipes, you shouldn't forget to figure out how to cook your favorite comfort foods while onboard. One more thing - coffee is important to us, and we've found that we don't have to compromise on that at all. Fortunately, I'm not an espresso fan, because for regular coffee, a French Press or a simple pour-over makes as good a brew (if not much better) than any automatic drip or percolator. The only real issue is a grinder, but there are some good manual coffee mills, and an electric only uses a fraction of an amp-hour per use. For the real devotee, you can even roast your own on a grill (don't do it down below!) using a whirly-pop popcorn pot. We left for out trip with 25 pounds of unroasted green beans, and ordered more halfway through. |
