"This book was amazing simply because I never expected such a good read.
I picked this book up at the beginning of summer. The cover blurb was something like it was a vacation without leaving home. I admit I was influenced by the front cover. Just looking at the gorgeous blue water and the home situated on a sheer plunge was a vacation in itself.
So it sat beside my bed. I would shuffle past it in my quest for another book to read. I was 'saving' it.
Well let me say that once I opened it I could not put it down. It went from my bedroom to my office, to the livingroom, in the car, in my purse. Every chance I had to read a few pages I was absorbed.
This is not a book about cooking. It is a story of a man's quest to find his place in the world of restaurants, personal cooks and food. In fact, I think it could be called a coming-of-age story about this period in his life. I appreciated his honesty in telling his own shortcomings. He was quite candid in reciting embarrassing moments when his culinary skill was found wanting. I'm sure it would be hard to admit that Alice Waters told you to basically get with the program or find another profession. That was not the only time.
It is a story of sailing, of food, of bonding on a small sailboat with a crew he never knew. It's also a chance to get another view of the super wealthy and the lives they lead. "Il dottore and la signora", whoever they are, fascinate. (It's a little like Mr. and Mrs. X in the Nanny Diaries) He's able to make them real without being mean. By the end of the story you have a grudging respect for them even if you can never justify their way of life.
The cover didn't lie. It is like taking a vacation on the Mediteranean. And if you're hungry after reading it he leaves us with some good recipes.
Having started his cooking career in New York and San Francisco's restaurants, David goes to Europe cooking and interning throughout Provence and Italy. He lands a job on the private yacht of a billionaire Italian family. The Serenity is a $5 million ship with a full crew. He needs to cook a new meal each day using fish and no pasta or meat and local fresh produce. The owners fly in for weekends and the month of August. It was a very interesting read. Several recipes from his cooking experience.
"Quick quick quick read. A dream summer for some. A nightmare for others. I would love to find out who the family was. Seriously, I enjoyed the book. It was well written and entertaining. I need the book back from my friend to write down the recipes in the back. Yum!"
"This was a very enjoyable book that describes the summer the author spent as a cook on a luxury yacht cruising the Mediterranean coasts of France and Italy. It not only mentions the interesting local ports of call, markets, and the seasonal food he prepared, but also told what it was like to be the person who cooked all the meals for the owners and crew on a sailing ship all summer."
