To sail first class on the great ocean liners was to experience the last word in luxury and service.

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.

Product Description:
The elegance of life aboard classic liners such as the Queen Mary and the Mauretania would not have been complete without fine dining. Lavishly illustrated with period photographs and vintage menu cards, this charming book recalls the glamour and sophistication of golden-age ocean travel, complete with recipes for some of the classic dishes served on board: Crème Vichyssoise, Boeuf à la Mode, Black Forest Gateau and, of course, a scintillating selection of cocktails.
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. (You Magazine, Mail on Sunday 2005-02-27)
