Victoria Allman

Quite a long time ago I read Victoria Allman’s book SEAsoned and enjoyed it very much. This is her second book and it’s packed with more sailing and cooking stories as well as recipes.

Honestly, these stories should have been in her first book as she explains where she received culinary training, the various kitchens she has worked in, what she’s learned on the fly and how she was hired as a yacht chef, her first sailing chef position. The interview, if you could call it that, was amazing.

Besides sailing to various exotic ports you’ll read about her fishing experiences, how she met her husband (you’ll read about these two in her first book), a story about fire on ship (Yikes!) and get a general snapshot of this out-of-the-ordinary profession and the challenges and freedom that come with it.… (altro)
