From the Back Cover

FOOD FROM THE GALLEY - Daily Fare Onboard Ship
The mere mention of such dishes as salt beef, pork and peas, and sour cream waffles for Sunday coffee, still has the power to evoke nostalgic memories among most seamen. In this book you will find all the traditional recipes, used on Norwegian ships as they sailed the seven seas.

But this book is far more than just recipes. The authors have placed food within a cultural-historical context and explain how the menu onboard Norwegian ships has developed. At the same time, the book is a review of the history of Norwegian shipping from the earliest times, with boats carved out of logs, to the present day high-tech world of the North Sea.

This book has come at the right time. Pizza and hamburgers have already found their place on the Norwegian dinner table. We have cookbooks about everything from Mongolian to Mexican food. At the same time, Norwegian stewards have almost disappeared from most Norwegian ships.

Food from the Galley - Daily Fare Onboard Ship is a reminder of our own rich traditions and an appeal for their preservation.
