The history of seafaring has a number of examples in which poor and insufficient food led to revolts. The "Mutiny on the Bounty" in 1789 is one of the most famous cases and has been the subject of many novels and films.
As you know, YACHT deals intensively with all topics relating to on-board practice, which naturally includes everyday aspects such as cooking at sea in addition to sailing techniques, navigation and safety. Meals taste best on board, which is why we are giving this culinary topic more space in our new "Pantry" section.
