Yesterday ShipsCook visited Ditzum! A little Harbour in the North of Germany close to the border of Holland. Three shrimp boats, a little ferry boat and a few yachts and a lot of sunshine!!

As the crow flies
When lost or unsure of their position in coastal waters, ships would release a caged crow. The crow would fly straight towards the nearest land. Giving the vessel some sort of a navigational fix. The tallest lookout platform on a ship came to be know as the crow’s nest.

Tattoo Artist Paul van der Zwaard finished the old school piece on my lower right arm. It is always a pleasure to visit Paul’s tattoo shop “Smooth Sailing Tattoo”. A laid-back tattoo craftsman who roamed the world before he settled down in the beautiful city of Groningen. When I am at home I like to visit Paul’s tattoo shop to get some new body decoration! www.smoothsailingtattoo.com
ShipsCook Recipes
People often ask me about the recipes. Well I am more than happy to share my recipes. Every cook has his own style and I can tell you my style is very different!! I believe in simple food, simple in preparation and not too many ingredients. I always cut in the existing recipes, to simplify and make it suitable cooking for larger groups. It is not necessary to have a large range of spices and herbs. Some basic flavourings will do the job. An other key element in my style is presentation. I want my food to look at his best!! (At home and at sea) Because the looks is already 30% of your appetite! (The rest - 30% smell, 30% taste and 10% entertainment will complete the 100% satisfaction score). So take a look or even better give it a go…
