In The Beginning

Many of us have gone to boat shows to look at the latest boats, gadgets, “gizzies” (as my friend Crystal calls them), gear, etc. Well, my first big boat show was THE Miami Boat show and I was saturated with the latest and newest of all of those things. But what I REALLY wanted to get was some information about cooking on my new sailboat: how to stock my galley, what pots/pans/utensils were the most economical for space, how to store food without inviting bugs, how to plan simple meals using the minimum number of ingredients. After walking through the show for 3 days and not finding anything on the topic, I came upon Corinne Kanter’s booth in the tent area in the sailboat marina. I KNEW I had found the right person and the right place to help me get started. I asked her a zillion questions and she answered them all so patiently. So while many of you purchased gadgets, gizzies and gear, I purchased a PRESSURE COOKER and Corinne’s book The Cruising KISS Cookbook. I was on my way.
