SeaDream Yacht Club Creates Cookbook


"Dream Cuisine: An Adventure for the Senses" describes the total SeaDream dining experience that includes linen tablecloths and napkins of 100 percent Italian cotton woven in Belgium.

Flatware was designed and crafted in Norway. The china comes from Porsgrund and crystal from Hadeland Glasswerk, both of Norway and owned by SeaDream Yacht Club Owner Atle Brynestad.

The cookbook presents SeaDream's cuisine a la minute whereby each dish is made with fresh ingredients -- frequently found in the markets of ports of call -- and then prepared to order.

Designed for four servings, "Dream Cuisine" recipes are for hors d'oeuvres, lunch, dinner, desserts, and spa and vegetarian choices.

Special sections present "SeaDream Signature Dishes," a "Menu Degustation," a section describing the SeaDream wine cellar with rare Old World and New World offerings, a bar menu featuring unusual beverages and SeaDream's "Champagne & Caviar Splash."

There are more than 90 recipes in the collection. Among them are gratinated escargot served with aubergine caviar and mushrooms; Thai-style chili garlic quail served with Basmati rice and coriander; salad of marinated monkfish with spinach and tomato salad; terrine of foie gras with fig compote, truffle dressing and brioche; and sautéed Gariguette strawberries with candied black olives and olive oil ice cream.

"Dream Cuisine" was introduced during a recent Club Members' voyage between Valletta and Naples by company President, CEO and Co-Owner Larry Pimentel.

The cookbook is available through the Boutique section of SeaDream's website for $30 per copy, plus shipping, and in the onboard boutiques on SeaDream I and II.
