There is a cruiser name Jean. She is a South African but cooks like she is French. I first tasted her cooking when she offered seafood and fresh, boatmade pasta on Hog Island. Friends had enjoyed that before and raved about it. Boatmade pasta? Yes please! I joined them the next time this came up. However, she didn't have the boatmade pasta. "It was just too hot." So she made rice. It was wonderful. The seafood was in a creamy type sauce. It was a measly $15 EC.
I got on her email list right after that. She would then email a small group of us to let us know when she was cooking and what. Boatmade pies were the norm. By pies, I mean savory pastry like pies, like Jamaican pasties, but way better. These are light, flaky pastries surrounding wonderfully rich fillings. She offers pepper steak, beef, chicken and mushroom and vegetarian. We ordered from her several times. She cooks and bakes all day and then hails you on VHF radio...."Love, your pies are ready." We dinghy over to Hog Island anchorage and pick up our still warm pies. YUM. $10 EC.
She offers other items as well and passage ready food. We ordered four pies for our passage out of Grenada. Only two made the passage as we just couldn't wait and ate the other two right after we picked them up.
