Kitchen Afloat is less a cookbook and more of a guide to all things galley. Author Joy Smith can turn you from a complete novice into a galley commando with her information regarding how to cook safely and efficiently underway and how to utilize every square inch of storage space. If you are in the market for a new boat, Kitchen Afloat can help you choose the right galley setup for you, and if you already have your boat, this book can help you to get the most out of the galley you have. Discussions on water systems, refrigeration, trash control and even how to prepare a menu for crew with special dietary needs are all very thorough and will definitely come in handy at all stages of passage planning, from day sails to blue water crossings. ― Blue Water Sailing

This is not just a recipe book for galley cooks. Covering everything from how to shop and plan for a voyage’s meals to storage issues to outfitting a galley with supplies, Kitchen Afloat readies the galley and you for food preparation, handling and safety. You’ll learn about the challenges and solutions of getting and storing fresh water aboard; cold storage versus refrigeration; and the benefits and drawbacks of stoves, microwave ovens and grills. Want to know the right way to sanitize a cutting board, or how to make your own non skidware dishes? It’s in Kitchen Afloat. And after you’ve spruced up your galley and prepared the larder, you can sit back and decide whether to make tequila marinated fish, or pork cutlets with oranges, green onions and coriander. ― Offshore Magazine
