The Cruising Cook

               for the First Mate

                 by Shirley Herd

WOODENBOAT says: "Its an exciting, informative, inspiring book written by a woman who is obviously an excellent sailor, well informed with the ways of the sea ... It's well organized and indexed."

YACHTING says: "... is a fact filled and useful package of information for anyone aboard a boat."

SAILOR'S GAZETTE says: "The first section contains check lists of primary staples and supplies, useful information about canned foods, stowage of fresh and preserved foods, sprouting and seasonings."

YACHTING states: "It's bound in an attractive and washable three-ring binder, which makes since for three reasons: it lies flat when you are using it; you can add your own notes and recipes; and the author plans to produce additions that will simply snap into place."
