Chef David Paul Larousse has recorded his many experiences as chef on a series of international private yachts, and compiled a collection of short tales and essays that record his encounters and observations. These ‘day in the life’ tales of his galley production, as well as philosophical musings, are written in an engaging manner, with both a sense of humor and an astute insight into human nature. This is cookbook literature at its best - the sharp insights, commentaries, and experiences of a chef professional, written with clarity and command - and accompanied by 25 sensational recipes.
