What do liveaboard sailors think of our cookbook for sailors?

"We are planning our liveaboard adventure and came across Catherine & David’s book. It’s beautifully laid out with plenty of photos for those who enjoy cooking from books with photographs. But it’s not just a cook book, it’s also a window into the life of live-aboarders and I believe a must buy for those of us who deeply care about looking after the planet and honouring the food we catch and gather." - Rachael, 5 stars, via Amazon - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/0645522635

"If we had this book when we first began vanlife, we’d have still been pennyless travelers, but we’d have eaten darn well. Really love the stuff we can make from scratch. Never knew ricotta was so easy." - Maya and Gav, from Barnes & Noble's reviews

The Small Kitchen Cook is for anyone who loves food and travels in (or just loves) campervans, caravans or tiny houses.

Real food for real US sailors? We got you covered.

Cruising is much more than just sailing. It’s about travel, exploring empty shores and plunging into new cultures. It’s about taking time for your passions and living in harmony with the watery world that buoys, sustains, and changes you.Dave, the hunter; Catherine, the gatherer; and their littl...

"We had never heard of this book before we got sent a copy to review, and honestly we can’t believe it isn’t more well known."

"It’s very obvious this book has been written by world cruisers for world cruisers. If you’re just looking for one onboard cookbook then this should be it."

High praise from Two Get Lost who just reviewed a copy of The Hunter & The Gatherer.

The best books for liveaboards. Must have reads before you become a full-time liveaboard - from maintenance to cooking!

People are loving The Slow Road Cookbook.

Our friend, ‘s beautiful book has arrived and it is simply stunning. Kiri, her husband Lockie and three kids have been travelling all over the world in times gone by and the last few years, have been travelling Australia and New Zealand in their Kombi and caravan and sharing on their page
This book is truly so beautiful, informative, inspiring and nostalgic. The photography, words and recipes are Kiri and Lockie’s and showcases their natural and extraordinary talents.
This is a book I’m going to keep coming back to and enjoying for years to come and I can’t wait to start cooking out of it.

It would make a great Christmas present so be sure to track it down.

We're in the NY Times! Our little publishing house is thrilled to receive our first piece of publicity in The New York Times for our book The Small Kitchen Cook. A great write-up (thanks Elaine) with some quotes from our author, Ash, about how cooking while travelling and visiting local food markets “allows you to absorb the culinary culture whilst supporting local farmers and makers" and also about cooking in the small space of a van. Great job, team! Cardinal Publishers Group

The Small Kitchen Cook is perfect food for Aussie road trips, according to Outback Travel Australia.

The clue for the purpose of this book is in the title that aims it at compact, not necessarily camping, kitchens. It also extols the undoubted virtues of home-made, lovingly prepared meals and that’s not always possible when camping - especially remote-area camping.
