"This was both delightful and awful, as it put so many things into context. An excellent companion to the age of sail novels. Mostly it made me very glad my dinner is not cooked in a ship's galley circa 1820."
"While not exactly a cook book you'll reach for daily, for fans of the Aubrey/Marurin series it's both informative and adds seamlessly into the O'Brian canon. Each reciept has excerpts from the book it's mentioned in as well as historical background on the dish, and it's cooking preparations. Great for food historians, and naval history buffs."
"I figured it was about time to investigate the cuisine of my ancestors. Add the connection with the Aubrey/Maturin novels, and buying this was a no-brainer. I can now claim not only to have made Spotted Dog, but to have successfully fed it to guests without a single complaint (for the record, Spotted Dog (or Spotted Dick (no comment ('dog' and 'dick' being archaic variants of the word 'dough'))) is a steamed flour pudding with small dried currants, topped with a creamy custard sauce flavored with brandy and rosewater). It's quite delicious when fresh, and can be fried up later for extra nutritional value. I have yet to tackle the recipe for Millers in Onion sauce, probably because "millers" is the name used by seafaring 19th Century Limeys for the rats, which were a handy onboard source for protein when supplies ran low. On top of all this, it's a fun read even if you don't dare to try any of the recipes."
