Here's a fun holiday gift for SeaDream fans and those who like to tackle new recipes: the newly published Dream Cuisine: An Adventure for the Senses cookbook from the chefs aboard SeaDream I and SeaDream II.Executive Chef d’ Cuisine, Robert van Rijsbergen, spearheaded the creation of the cookbook to include “a subtle combination of classic French culinary techniques, sophisticated international offerings, and a mingling of Asian influences.”
The book presents more than 90 recipes and covers hors d’oeuvres, appetizers, lunch and dinner entrees, desserts, and a unique spa menu. Vegetarian choices are also highlighted.
Some of the dishes you can now prepare at home in the SeaDream method include:
Gratinated Escargot—served with aubergine caviar and mushrooms
Thai-Style Chili Garlic Quail—served with Basmati rice and coriander
Sautéed “Gariguette” Strawberries—with candied black olives and olive oil ice cream
L’Oeuf Poule au Caviar “Surprise”—caviar served in an egg shell
Cream of Pumpkin Soup—garnished with pumpkin seeds, a bit of lobster and whipped cream
Champagne Sorbet—enhanced by a drop or two of Kirschwasser
Honey and Five Spice Roast Saddle of Veal—served with caramelized Belgian endive
Lemon Soufflé

“We have received so many wonderful compliments from our guests about their dining experiences with us that it just made perfect sense to publish this Dream Cuisine cookbook," noted the company's President, CEO, and Co-Owner, Larry Pimentel. "It was a labor of love and I hope it not only reminds our guests of one of the great joys of sailing with us, but also sends them into their home kitchens to try some of these recipes.”
SeaDream Owner Atle Brynestad added, “As a family-owned and operated company, we strive to provide each guest with a memorable yachting holiday experience. We welcome all guests as if we were welcoming them into our own home, which in a way, we are.”
The Dream Cuisine cookbook is available for $30 per copy (plus shipping) through the Boutique section of SeaDream’s website and in the onboard Boutiques on SeaDream I and II.
