Mediterranean Summer ny David Shalleck with Erol Munuz

Nonfiction
A fascinating book of a young man's experience as a chef on a sailing yacht in the Mediterranean. It was one of those books I hated to put down. His descriptions of the meals, the ports of call and even working as a crew member while sailing were fascinating. It's clear the author loved sailing and his delight comes through. But his description of cooking in a tiny galley is riveting. You don't have to be a cook or even like to sail to find this book enjoyable. It's a true behind-the-scenes look at life on an elegant yacht from a good writer who grabs your attention and never lets go.
