Our Price: $ 27.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling* *additional charges apply to orders shipped by Express Mail or to locations outside of the contiguous United States

Available in soft cover, Windjammer Cooking: Great Recipes from Maine's Windjammer Fleet  will make a wonderful gift for friends and family who love to cook and to eat, and it is a "must have" for anyone who loves the sea and the proud, time-honored traditions of historic sailing vessels. As you know, each of the vessels in the fleet has its own style, and as you'd expect, each captain has his or her own distinctive writer's "voice," so although the chapters are structured similarly, the writing styles vary, creating a unique collection of stories and recipes that are as individual as each windjammer. Many of the recipes are typical of down-home, Down East, schooner-style comfort food, and several are upscale gourmet delights.
