Book by Kanter, Corinne C. Thomas Jefferson may be credited with the Keep It Simple System principle, but Corinne C. Kanter has the great merit of having applied it to the cruising galley. Corinne's galley philosophy is not only that of keeping things simple, but also delicious, nutritious, economical and convenient. Having been extremely successful with her first KISS Cookbook, the latest book is the culmination of some twenty years of research. The result is over 500 new recipes that passed the scrutiny of a group of demanding food testers. The great attraction of this book is not just the many original recipes, but also the invaluable tips on the use of the pressure cooker, the microwave oven, on how to use less fuel and reeduce unwanted galley heat and fumes. There is also excellent advice on how to prepare uncommon vegetables, on storage and handling of foods, provisioning for long passages, even on how to grow your sprouts or make your own yogurt. Having ! used her best selling The Galley K.I.S.S. Cookbook on my previous boat, the newly published The CRUISING K.I.S.S. Cookbook was among the first acquisitions for the new sailboat, AVENTURA when I met Corinne at the Annapolis Boat Show. I remain a true believer in the KISS principal. -- World Cruising, by Jimmy Cornell Value! Value is what is most obvious with Corinne Kanter's: The Cruising K.I.S.S. COOKBOOK . Seldom do we boaters get so much for our money. Aside from the fact that Corinne truly "cover's the waterfront" with everything we need-to-know about cooking aboard, the book itself is a strong, heavy-duty volume, Mylar covered, Smyth-sewn, hard-bound and printed in readable size type on heavy paper. -- a reader Value!

Her fourteen years of live-aboard cruising experience and twenty years writing her cooking columns steeled her to create the ultimate cookbook for busy people on the go. The "Keep It Simple System" coupled with her published philosophy of "Delicious, Nutritious, Economical and Convenient" combine in a 480 page book covering every aspect of creating good food afloat. A note from Corinne, The Cruising K.I.S.S. Cookbook is the culmination of twenty years of research and experimentation. Hundreds of recipes and scores of cooking hints have crossed my path during those years and those that fit the KISS principle (Keep It Simple System) were tried and tested. In this book are 563 recipes that passed the scrutiny of a group of tough food testers. Cruisers in their wanderings come across all sorts of uncommon vegetables. In my helpful-hints section I discuss how to identify, purchase and prepare these vegetables. I have simple short-cuts for stowage and handling of foods; long term cruising helpful hints; descriptions of pots and pans, kitchen tools, galley gear and gadgets. Cooking methods that conserve fuel and produce less unwanted galley heat and fumes are outlined. There are tips on microwaves and the advantages of the pressure-cooker. There are charts galore! Easy-to-use charts, guidelines and an easy-to-use Lite Section. Nutrition is a primary factor in my published recipes and cooking hints. My theme, "Delicious, Nutritious, Economical and Convenient" is the heart-beat of my Corinne's Culinary Corner and Living Aboard columns and of my first book: The Galley K.I.S.S. Cookbook . The philosophy of The Cruising K.I.S.S. Cookbook is the premise that basic cookery uses wholesome fresh foods, cooked in the most healthful manner. It encourages experimentation with local and seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. Imaginative cooks experiment with herbs, spices, vinegars, extracts, and tomato products. The Cruising K.I.S.S. Cookbook will bring you an unbeatable combination of tasty ingredients, time-saving hints, exciting recipes, and it will become your constant galley companion. Its like getting FIVE VOLUMES IN ONE! Corinne C. Kanter recently introduced her latest book: The CRUISING K.I.S.S. Cookbook. Designed for cruisers, it is, as her earlier works, especially suitable for busy people on the go! K.I.S.S. stands for "The Keep It Simple System." While some may snicker and think of other rhyming epithets, it was Thomas Jefferson who first created the KISS principle in designing our US coinage system. Corinne, a fan of dear ole Tom, pays homage to him in her first book, "The Galley K.I.S.S. Cookbook." Corinne writes cooking columns for two magazines, Corinne's Culinary Corner for MULTIHULLS Magazine and Cooking Aboard for Living Aboar
