Galley Gourmet Challenge
Galley Gourmet Challenge - Winning Recipes
Each year the RSYS Annual Cruise sets off for a week long excursion which combines amicable racing and even more amicable socialising. A highlight of the social programme is the Galley Gourmet Challenge in which crews create and present their finest onboard cuisine for the approval of our judges.
Categories include: Canapés (usually served on the beach and enjoyed by all cruise participants); Entrée; Main Course; Dessert and Junior Chef.
The variety and quality of the dishes presented is always astounding, and just goes to show what can be achieved in a tight galley with a two burner stove and a tiny ice box. The Cruising Division feels that the recipes served over the years is a wonderful treasure trove that should be shared with all RSYS cruising enthusiasts - after all, the last thing a skipper wants to deal with is a hungry, mutinous crew!
We are therefore pleased to present: The GGC Winning Recipes, lovingly compiled by Trish Stanley of Willyama.
