Maddy’s Italian Galley

Boat cooking, Italian roots, and the food side of life aboard Sophisticated Lady.

From Maddy’s galley

Maddy is our first mate, chef and on-board interpreter: an Italian chef with decades of exploration behind her.

Out here that means galley recipes that work at anchor, Italian staples adapted to the tropics, and a crossover with Catch & Cook whenever Ricci’s fish hits the pan.
