Magma Cooking Pots – 7 awesome ways to free up space in your galley

January 22, 2019 Leave a Comment

On our first boat (a Moody 346), we did not have Magma cooking pots. I kept our pots and pans in the space provided below the sink. I kept my baking dishes in the oven. And one of my large pots was stashed away under the aft bed in the hull. When it came to[Read More]

Solar Cooking Recipe – French Onion Soup

August 30, 2017 2 Comments

French onion soup is comforting and gratifying. The flavors of caramelized onions are deep, the soup soaked bread with melted stringy cheese is hearty and the combination of all flavors and textures makes a filling meal.

Authentic Tiramisu aboard Britican

October 16, 2014 3 Comments

While being laid up in Preveza, Greece with engine, generator and rigging problems our dynamic life on the sea changed to a slow life on the hard.

Our first fishing story

Our first fishing story – from the Ionian Sea to our dinner table

September 27, 2014 Leave a Comment

“What is that noise?” (make sure to scroll down to see our first fishing story video below) Everyone started to look around.

Shrimp Saganaki – Britican's way

Pasta Sauce

Pasta Sauce in Sicily – Britican Style

August 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

Could there be a better place than Sicily to make fresh pasta sauce? This morning when I (it’s Loryn here writing this!) was asking for ideas on what everyone would like to eat, it was inevitable that some sort of Italian dish would present itself.
