Taste The World: The Food and Flavors of Oceania Cruises

Additional Details

Description: What does it take to create a world-class dining experience every day -- in the middle of the ocean, anywhere in the world? Step behind the scenes for an insider's tour of Oceania Cruises onboard galleys, wine cellars, and dining rooms, where you'll discover an extraordinary passion for excellence. 

Fresh breads and pastries baked onboard twice a day with premium French butter and flour; lobsters flown in from Maine and Canada; and pesto made from a generations-old family recipe, using fresh, local ingredients -- it's this kind of attention to detail and quality, along with the highest cook-to-passenger ratio of any cruise line, that have made Oceania Cruises' food the finest at sea. 

Equal parts keepsake and cookbook, this beautiful collection of images, stories, destinations, and more than 100 favorite recipes brings to life the art and passion that make the Oceania Cruises culinary experience so memorable.

As you follow its narrative through the course of a single 24-hour day, you'll shop for fresh produce in Nice's open-air market with Master Chef Jacques Pepin, discover a sommelier's secrets of food and wine pairing, attend an exclusive Chefs Patio Dinner, and get a first-hand look at the heat and clamor of the galleys in full tilt. Along the way, you'll meet everyone from the company's top culinary brass to a badminton-champion prep cook, a ballerina bar waitress, and a concierge who can conduct simultaneous conversations in seven languages without missing a beat. 

And then there are the recipes. All of the Oceania Cruises favorites are here -- dishes like Linguine "Cioppino," Jacques's Rotisscric Chicken and Wolfgang's Wiener Schnitzel -- along with creative ideas inspired by destinations all over the world, from a chic new -- Asian Sesame-Seared Tuna with Vegetable Tartare to a rustic Italian Farmhouse-Style Mushroom Crostata. You'll also find the much loved teatime pastries and treats, along with signature touches like Polo Grill's fruit jellies, and, of course, a full selection of luscious desserts, like decadent Bittersweet Chocolate Fondant Cakes and an easy Iced Orange Parfait. 

It's a deliciously diverse assortment of recipes, ideal for everything from entertaining to weeknight dinners at home. And it's lavishly illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs that bring the food, flavors, faces and places of Oceania Cruises to life. Whether you're cooking from it or leafing through it in a comfortable armchair, Taste the World will take you on a culinary cruise filled with fresh discoveries and fond memories.
