One important element of cruising is sampling and savoring the local cuisine, whether it’s a clambake in New England or a conch fritter in the Bahamas.

Robert Pickens, a chef who’s worked aboard megayachts and spent time sampling regional markets and restaurants, helps you create some of your own local-flavor with his book Caribbean Cuisine: A Culinary Voyage.

The 307-page book is bold and colorful thanks to photographer Jim Raycroft. It features 200 recipes and is part cookbook and part travel guide; it offers regional foods and cocktails, fish-prep tips, a glossary of ingredients, and information on where to buy hard-to-find items. Each recipe has been simplified for easy preparation.
The book costs $34.95 and is available through its publisher.
