Sailing Cookbook: 50 One-Pot Galley Recipes for Sailors and Cruisers – Easy Meals for Small Boat Kitchens and Life Aboard

Cooking on a boat isn't like cooking at home. Counter space is measured in inches, the stove might only have two burners, and half your pantry is whatever canned and dry goods survived the last provisioning run. Most cookbooks aren't written with any of that in mind — this one is.

The Sailing Cookbook is a collection of 50 recipes built specifically for sailors and cruisers, whether you're out for a weekend sail or living aboard full-time. Every recipe is designed around the realities of galley cooking: one pot or one skillet whenever possible, ingredients that store well or come from a can, and meals that come together fast so you can get back on deck.

Inside, you'll find recipes organized for every kind of day on the water:

One-Pot and Skillet Meals — One-Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken, One-Pot Sausage Jambalaya, One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta, Skillet Garlic Shrimp and Rice, and Skillet Sausage and Sauerkraut, built to minimize cleanup and maximize counter space.

Galley Breakfasts — Galley Corned Beef Hash, Galley Breakfast Quesadillas, Sailor's Apple Cinnamon French Toast, Sailor's Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal, and Galley Vegetable Frittata for starting the day before the anchor's even up.

Mediterranean-Inspired Dishes — Lemon Herb Couscous with Roasted Vegetables, Mediterranean Chickpea Salad, Mediterranean White Bean Tuna Bowls, Galley Greek Chicken Pitas, and Mediterranean Sardine Toasts for bright, pantry-friendly meals that don't need refrigeration.

Tropical and Island Flavors — Tropical Chicken Rice Bowls, Coconut Lime Fish Stew, Sailboat Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa, Coconut Shrimp Rice Skillet, and Tropical Tuna Salad Wraps for cruising in warm-water anchorages.

Pantry and Canned Staples — Sardine and Tomato Spaghetti, Canned Salmon Cakes, Tuna Melt Flatbreads, Tuna Pesto Pasta Salad, and Garlic Butter Mussel Pasta, all built around shelf-stable ingredients that hold up on long passages.

Hearty Comfort Food — Galley Chicken and Dumplings, Galley Beef Stroganoff, Smoky Sausage and Lentil Soup, One-Pot Sausage and White Bean Stew, and No-Bake Chocolate Oat Sailor Bars for cooler nights at anchor.
