A Trip to the Beach

This is the true story of a trip to the beach that never ends. A husband and wife escape civilization to build a small restaurant on an island paradise - but discover that even paradise has its pitfalls. "Mouth watering descriptions of old and new recipes...Absorbing and well written..." - LIBRARY JOURNAL Mel and Bob Blanchard abandoned the "concrete jungle" and opened a restaurant on a little-known island in the British West Indies called Anguilla. A remarkably intuitive and inspired chef, Mel writes poignant passages on running a kitchen in Anguilla, sharing her many outrageous adventures - how to cater to pampered and demanding guests, how to cook for a full restaurant in the darkest of island night with no electricity, how to prepare for recurring and utterly devastating hurricanes that wipe out your business. With a strange concoction of anecdotes, island politics, recipes, and sweet memories, the Blanchards seduce readers with the allure of "island time", bringing Anguilla home to the rest of us.
