Wave Food - Cookbook Published by Vallery Melcher

Your Culinary Journey to Health and Adventure

Wave Food is more than a recipe book. It's the story of learning to cook in a small moving galley, where every ingredient had to count, every meal had to nourish, and every choice had to be intentional.

Inside you’ll find:

  • 7 days of easy-to-follow healthy menus—breakfast, lunch, salads, and special dinners designed for a small kitchen and bigger groups.

  • Unconventional cooking—techniques and skills I developed while cooking on boats, in markets, and wherever life took me.

  • Stories from producers—the fishermen, farmers, and makers who taught me that transparency in food isn't optional.

  • Blue Zone philosophy—rooted in Sardinia's longevity traditions, where food is seasonal, simple, and deeply connected to community.

  • Sourcing with purpose—why I prioritize local, seasonal ingredients, nutrition & health, and fair supply chains.

Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or just discovering mindful eating, this cookbook is your invitation to slow down, savor fresh ingredients, and rediscover what it means to live — and eat — with intention.
