Menus and Recipes

"Mary will surprise and delight your palate with her mouthwatering dishes designed to pique your appetite. Delicious and creative...colorful. A visual and culinary pleasure."

Mary and Owen have so much fun developing menus and recipes from various sources as well as designing their own, that we thought you would enjoy seeing a typical weeks worth displayed here. No galley is complete without a surfeit of cookbooks and ours is no exception. Like as not, many of the recipes are used as rough guides or simply springboards into something completely new. Others, such as Mary's "Easter" bread, are recipes passed down through the generations.

While these menus are typical, all kinds of combinations may actually be encountered depending on the foods available and Mary's imagination. Of course we would love to hear from you with any favorite dishes you would care to share with our sailing friends. Perhaps Capt. Jan Robinson will include some of Fidelity's recipes in one of her new compilations.

Mary's pasta dishes are renowned by all who have sampled her cuisine, to say nothing of her absolute wizardry in the galley with baked goods such as cookies, breads, pies and cakes. Owen, himself, not only makes a mean breakfast omelet in the classic rolled French style but also does wonders with yoghurt, soured cream, liquor and fruit in conjuring up some of the sweetest pancakes this side of heaven. He will also grill your steak for you anything from Pittsburgh style (charred outside, cold red inside) to a tasty medium rare and even medium if pushed. For anything more well done he really won't be responsible for the results.

We both love a good joke and include after these menus a few that have tickled our funny bones recently. Go there.
