Cookin' Up a Storm: Stories and Recipes from Sea Shepherd's Anti-Whaling Campaigns

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is an international non-profit marine conservation organization that takes an aggressive direct-action approach to protect wildlife in the world's oceans.

Sea Shepherd recognizes that a vegan diet is a critical aspect of sea

animal preservation, so the galleys of their fleet maintain a round-the-clock menu of vegan cuisine. Led by the legendary Captain Paul Watson, their mission is carried out by four anti-poaching vessels and their crews. Laura Dakin, chief cook on Sea Shepherd's flagship, the Steve Irwin, shares her adventures of feeding a hungry crew of 50 morning to night.

Included are 80 of the crew's favorite vegan recipes deliciously eclectic modified for the family kitchen, as well as insight on the logistics of keeping a staff of hard-working, seafaring vegans well nourished and satisfied. Interspersed throughout are crew members'
stories, laced with the excitement and danger of stalking whaling vessels on the high seas.
