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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We are big…huge…pizza lovers. It really is the perfect food. Versatile unlimited toppings, seasonings, oils veggies, meats and cheeses. There was that inspired moment last summer when I realized that we could be living on the boat and still enjoy pizza (link) Enter on the scene – Naan bread and now that I can make my own pita (link) Making real pizza dough onboard is […]

Sprinkle seasonings of choice over all. Either cook […]
Sometimes simple is the best… Making use of what was in the refrigerator this morning… BREAKFAST STIR UP …some leftover hash browns, …mushrooms, …green onions, …baby spinach. …eggs to scramble …sea salt and some pepper. …a dash or three of hot sauce… …a tasty breakfast in five… And making use of what’s lying around for supper… EASY PIZZA Homemade pitas […]
Now that we have ‘tested the waters’ so to speak on egg storage aboard our boat, I am ready to have a good supply for the days onboard when we need to be more autonomous (especially for our ‘Little Loop Adventure’ next summer). I know there is a controversy about the daily egg flip method: i.e. eggs should be farm fresh & not previously refrigerated, […]
With 10 freshly made stove top pitas on hand I feel compelled to create. (to be honest Francois is looking longlingly at them already envisioning his first trial as my official taste tester) One of my favourite pizzas is the Margherita very simple and fresh… minimal ingredients (as least the way I make it)… requires no special recipe… Pizza Margherita for Two Two Stove […]
Who would have thought that the one vegetable that so many people despise can be the one that can be added to such delicious meals. Brussels sprouts, like cabbage keeps much better than other greens. I now use it in salads, side dishes and now pizza… This past summer we started cooking the pizzas on the BBQ using Naan bread So easy (just top and […]
