reviewed on + 531 more book reviews


The book will take the reader on the Serenity, a sailing yacht, along the Mediterranean coast for a 3-month stint. Chef David Shalleck first travels around Italy learning various culinary techniques; becomes very skilled as a chef, then undertakes a challenging culinary adventure for the Italian elite yacht owners of the Serenity, their entertainment schedule at each port of entry. The book is a delightful read, like taking a summer vacation. Many recipes follow at the end of the book.
