The book was sealed, and a review of the book was not possible, however, we bought it anyway. The photos are top-qulaity, both on a maritime level, and on a food level. The finished food products look excatly as they did when presented at table during our cruise. Since we could not review the book before purchase, I found to my dismay that the recipes were not converted for the US kitchen. Not a problem, a trip to Bed bath and Beyond and conversion measures were purchased. I must say, the Beef Wellington, which I made from the cookbook recipe, for our New Years Eve dinner party was outstanding. I did tinker with the en croute, and used phyllo dough pastry in place of making the pastry from scratch. I suggest rolling the thawed phyllo out with a rolling pin and then fitting it over and around the tenderloin. A good homemade meat glaze with truffle buttrer and Maderia wine makes a lovely sauce.

I am looking forward to the float out of Queen Elizabeth and I'm excited to see some pictures of her going into her natural element for the first time and I'm also counting down the days until Queen Victoria visits my homeport of Lyttelton this February. LastIy, I was wondering if you knew of an architectural difference that QE might have that will allow her to be easily told apart from QV. If so, I would be keen to know. Thanks, Freddie Paynter. Alastair,

In fact, my family is excited about this (the new QE float out ceremony)because, in 1959, my Grandpa sailed on the first Queen Elizabeth on his honeymoon! So, we are all very excited and pleased to know that a third Queen Elizabeth is about to enter service! It truly is "The New Golden Age" Kind regards, Anthony I am very excited about this!
