About the Book

To sail first class on the great ocean liners was to experience the last word in luxury and service. The Captain's Table recalls not only the glamour and excitement of life on board, but also the rich creativity of the excellent cuisine. The author has expertly recreated an inspiring selection of classic recipes from the First, Second and Tourist Class dining rooms for the modern cook, adding to them with fascinating research on their origins, including period memorabilia in the form of dining cards and menus. Beautifully illustrated with a wealth of nostalgic imagery, this book exudes glamour and elegance, bringing the heyday of the liner to life and recapturing some of the original magic of those remarkable ships.

Review :
An elegant book about the great days of ocean liners, when passengers really knew how to eat and drink on board ship - and dressed in great style to do so. The author gives us an anecdotal history of these floating islands of gourmet pleasure, which enjoyed their golden age in the 1930s. 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. 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.
