A California girl, LaDonna got hooked on Alaska, fishing, and husband Ole (not necessarily in that order!) more than twenty years ago and has never looked back. As chief deck hand and galley cook on the LaDonna Rose, their 32-foot commercial fishing vessel based in Ketchikan Alaska, she's responsible for all their meals. These are often prepared on the fly, on a rocking and rolling boat, in a tiny 4x7 foot galley using a tiny oil stove and oven. Yet she refuses to stock the galley with "heat and eat" prepared foods and instead has become adept at serving up scrumptious, inventive, quick and easy to prepare dishes. 

Discover a new spin on much-loved classics such as King salmon as kebabs, meatloaf baked in muffins tins and a top secret key lime mousse with a clever twist. With this amazing cookbook, you will find much pleasure in preparing the food as in eating it, and it will earn it's place in the kitchens of everyone who craves an easier solution to preparing homemade meals for their family. The book is accompanied with lively stories and gorgeous full-color photographs taken by Ole of the dishes, Alaskan scenery, and the commercial fishing lifestyle. No matter how big or tiny your oven, join Ole and LaDonna as they share their passion for food, fishing, photos, and fun!

Hailed by critics as one of the greatest sea stories ever written, this rousing adventure offers a fascinating combination of gritty realism and sublime lyricism in its portrayal of an elemental conflict. The author began a career at sea, and his shipboard experiences imbue The Sea-Wolf with flavorful authenticity. 

In the story, the gentleman narrator, Humphrey Van Weyden, is pitted against an amoral sea captain, Wolf Larsen, in a clash of idealism with materialism. The novel begins when Van Weyden is swept overboard into San Francisco Bay, and plucked from from the sea by Larsen's seal-hunting vessel, the Ghost. Pressed into service as a cabin boy by the ruthless captain, Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a brutal shipboard drama. Larsen's increasingly violent abuse of the crew fuels a mounting tension that ultimately boils into mutiny, shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation. 

Read and loved around the world, this 1904 maritime classic has influenced such writers as Hemingway, Orwell, and Kerouac.
