I asked Francois what he wanted for his birthday supper. It came as no surprise when he asked for pizza. It has become one of our favourite and most frequent meal onboard. Homemade Naan or pita bread is easy to throw together in the morning to have ready for an evening barbecued pizza. (my stove top recipe here ) The plan was to make a prosciutto, fresh peas and asparagus pizza until I came across a picture of a pizza…
Hey there Galley Peeps! I know I have been absent lately, but we have been on a little summer adventure. If this interests, you click on the link below: R.E.D. sails in the sunet otherwise, here is another simple galley creation, made from scratch, in my little galley, at anchor with the New York Skyline in view. Last night I made Stove Top Pita (to the basic recipe I added dried parsley, thyme and chilis) which ended up more like…
Out first of the season onboard meal …and my first try out of the new galley stove. While we are on shore power it functions as a traditional stove with an element. While underway or at anchor, it can be used as a typical alcohol burning stove. I brought all the necessary ingredients onboard for a little pizza feast thinking it would be a real occasion to create something to share with my Galley Peeps. It’s an idea I came…

What to do with cheese and deli meats leftover from my Italian Easter Pie? How about a little Mexican Italian fusion? PIZZADILLAS No real recipe required. Just load your fave pizza topping on tortillas… I cooked up some more of my Easy Tomato Sauce, adding some dried oregano, a smashed garlic clove and some dried chilis for a bit of extra flavour and heat… …spread some sauce on 8″ tortillas… …added some meats, cheese and sliced black olives……
Have any corned beef left from your Saint Patrick’s Day feast? Well Galley Kat has another good one for you! It’s Irish Italian Jewish fusion and I think the Swiss may have played a part in it too… REUBEN PIZZA 2 cooked pizza crusts (about 10″-12″ each) Russian dressing (see Galley Kat Notes below) sprinkling of caraway seeds (optional) 2 cups corned beef, pastrami or smoked meat 2 cups sauerkraut 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese Spread 1/2 of Russian dressing…
Here I am again with another great vegetarian meal for you. Just make some extra polenta for your dinner, (my recipe for Creamy Sage Polenta) spread the leftovers onto a baking sheet while it is still warm, and tomorrow night you will be able to enjoy this yummy pizza. It’s not the sort of pizza you can just pick up and eat with your hands but what a great alternative to traditional pizza crust it makes! POLENTA CRUST PIZZA…
Captain Francois was so encouraged by the response of his ‘flagship’ recipe post, Spicy Italian Crescent Ring that we are thinking of making Captain Cooks a regular occurance (and you know how Galley Kat feels about recipe series) This turned out to be a very ‘ad hoc’ recipe – some of this, some more of that …as you would dress a pizza… …he makes his own shopping list and does the shopping too now. …what does this have to do…
Today I was doing my usual browsing through recipes for ideas and I came across one that caught François’ attention: spicy, Italian, and meaty. and then he announced: “I want to make that!” Really? So this was the day the Galley Kat stepped back and let ‘he who offered to cook’ take over. …(happily)… …he shopped… …and returned with all his treasures… …I offered help and he gave me this look… (“back off! this is my show!”) …’OK, so…
HAPPY NATIONAL CHEESE PIZZA DAY! …and a delicious, gooey, cheesey pizza it was. PIZZA DOUGH 2 cups flour (plus more during kneading if needed – haha) 1 envelope pizza yeast 1-1/2 tsp sugar 3/4 tsp salt 3 tbsp oil 2/3 cups warm water (about 125 ° or as I do it onboard – baby-bottle-on-the-wrist-warm) corn meal for pizza peel Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl Gradually add water Place all on a floured surface and knead for…
