Apart from the atmospheric photographs and illustrations, the great joy of this book are 70 or so classic recipes, all of them taken from original menus and adapted for a modern audience. * You Magazine, Mail on Sunday * A modern recipe book beautifully illustrated with menu cards from ships which sailed in the heyday of the liner trade. Offering a fascinating insight into deck and dining life – for rich and poor alike- from the golden age of liner travel to present-day cruising. * IC Croydon. *
