I have loved to cook since I wasn’t even tall enough to reach the stove. Almost 10 years ago I created the Offshore Chef when I was using the small galley of a boat to create meals. While I’ve run aground and now find myself wandering around ashore, the same #CookSmall philosophies apply. So let’s get cooking inside and out!
Parmesan Pesto SaucePesto is so multi-versatile and not one has to goto waste. I love to use my Parmesan Pesto as a spread on my Bell Family Fried Tomato Sandwich and in my ground beef mix for burgers. It's great with or without the garlic and pine nuts! The Original Bell Family Fried Tomato Sandwich with Parmesan PestoMy Tomato Sandwich Recipe is gloriously simple and can be adapted to be vegetarian, vegan or meat-eater-worthy, lol. This Summer Cast Iron treat can be enjoyed hot or cold. The key is homegrown Beefsteak or Jersey Tomatoes.I’ve RUM Ashore & I Can’t Get Up! Iced CoffeeIt’s Sunday morning during the Summer.

I've set out to transcribe and recreate many of his favorites recipes from the road. In most cases, the origin of these recipes no longer exist. This recipe is courtesy of The Art of Grilling, Baking, Barbequeing, a Duncan Hines Cookbook from 1952.Firecracker Grilled Shrimp TacosMy goto, on the road grilling recipe for the entire family. When Airstreaming on the East Coast, there's no shortage of wild-caught, fresh shrimp, making this a great outdoor recipe from start to finish.
