Thank you for viewing. First Edition: "The Luxurious Dining Table of the Queen Elizabeth 2" by Rudolf Sodamin, translated by Yoshiko Higuchi, published by Shibata Publishing "I am delighted to welcome you aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 and to have you savor the wonderful cuisine of Rudolf Sodamin. By turning the pages of this book, you will encounter the many delicacies that have made our restaurants among the top in the world's ships. Our ship regularly sails the world's oceans and encounters various cultures, so the cuisine reflects a feast of every table in the Western world." (From the "Preface" by Dermot McDermott, Chairman of Cunard) "I decided to write this cookbook because I was often asked by passengers who enjoyed my cooking to teach them how to make it. The experience of serving food on a luxury cruise ship and having to satisfy the expectations of discerning passengers from all over the world is not common. In the ship's kitchen, we must create a series of culinary events, including dinners, lunches, breakfasts, snacks, elaborate buffets, and special parties. It's a challenging but rewarding job for a chef." (From "Introduction" by Rudolf Sodamin) This book features numerous dishes presented with colorful and realistic photographs, utilizing the full width of the luxurious book, and includes 50 recipes with easy-to-understand explanations (in both Japanese and English). However, not only professional food photographers but also photographers who capture the ship's scenery and port landscapes have participated, making it not just a cookbook but one that will invite readers to a dream world tour.
