About this title

Synopsis

In 1975 the last surviving Clyde Puffer—a small, steam-powered cargo ship—was found derelict in Whitby Harbor. It was lovingly restored and now plies up and down the west coast of Scotland throughout the summer every year, carrying thousands of passengers on an idyllic cruise through some of the finest scenery on earth. Part of the experience that has drawn Puffer enthusiasts back again and again are the delicious meals prepared for them in the tiny galley, which has no electricity but limitless supplies of boiling water, as befits a steam vessel. Authors Mandy Hamilton and David Hawson have combined the wonderfully varied recipes that have been cooked on board over the years with stunning photography of unforgettable land and seascapes and exuberant paintings of food, fish, flowers, fauna, and the wonderful Puffer itself. The result is a unique cookbook that captures the magic of the Clyde and the Hebrides and will make the perfect keepsake for lovers of the region, anyone who enjoys Scottish cooking, and the Puffer’s innumerable fans.
