Always good for snacking.

cookies are a great choice for seafaring
families and Galley Guy Greg Nicoll
spread out a platter of them to share during the shoot.
There are all kinds of recipes for gingerbread cookies and gingersnaps in
cookbooks and online, but here's the one
that I use at home. This makes a gingerbread dough that you can roll out and cut
into shapes or simple rectangles.
BREAKFAST ON BOARD
Pancakes are certainly a simple but tasty
breakfast food and we made sure ours
were served up with plenty of fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Of
course, the main reason for doing this
was to try out the ginger syrup we got
from the Ginger People.
Canadian pancake fans will certainly

be accustomed to maple syrup, so the
change to ginger might come as a shock,
but we found that it was delicious on the
pancakes and was as good or better with
the fresh fruit.
We see the change to ginger syrup as
a creative way to change up your breakfast and the fact that it may help to settle somebody's stomach can just be our
little secret.
For the photos, we made regular
Aunt Jemima pancakes, but the Ginger
People also have a recipe online and
they offer a product designed for cooking. These are small pieces of crystallized ginger that can easily be stirred
into the pancake batter and secretly
baked right into your breakfast.
David Kent, Manager at Pride
Marine at Krates in Keswick, clearly
approved of the idea and he told us
about his own little secret - a carrot ginger soup that's delicious and effective,
too. That would be a good course for

your lunch on board and a big jar of that
made at home could be easily heated up
on board to go with sandwiches.
GIN GINS
On top of all the delicious ways you can
slip ginger into the weekend meal plan,
the Ginger People offer traveler's antinausea ginger. Packaged in a resealable
cellophane bag, each 'Gin Gin' candy is
individually wrapped and they are formulated to pack an extra amount of ginger.
Unwrap one and eat it before you get on
board. Also, keep a supply at the helm for
anyone who's turning a bit green.
Your family member or guest who is
normally uncomfortable on board may
find themselves feeling more relaxed and
comfortable thanks to the many benefits
of ginger.
We hope you'll try these recipe ideas
and on behalf of the Galley Guys, happy
cruising this summer!. *
