Review
An elegant book about the great days of ocean liners, when passengers really knew how to eat and drink on board ship - and dressed in great style to do so. The author gives us an anecdotal history of these floating islands of gourmet pleasure, which enjoyed their golden age in the 1930s. Apart from the atmospheric photographs and illustrations, the great joy of this book are 70 or so classic recipes, all of them taken from original menus and adapted for a modern audience. * You Magazine, Mail on Sunday * A modern recipe book beautifully illustrated with menu cards from ships which sailed in the heyday of the liner trade. Offering a fascinating insight into deck and dining life - for rich and poor alike- from the golden age of liner travel to present-day cruising. * IC Croydon. *
