UPDATE: Somehow when I originally researched this topic I failed to discover the goddess of every thing pertaining to cooking in a galley (kitchen), Carolyn Shearlock. She authors an amazing blog and podcast called, The Boat Galley. (Don’t ask me how I missed it 😆 ) She has a $7 ebook on the subject, Storing Food Without Refrigeration, which I intend to buy just as soon as I have a boat!

Here's some links to pages giving information or discussing how to live without having the convenience of a refrigerator. I know...scary thought for a lot of us.

I'm thinking about it because I know I want to keep my electric needs low and from what I've read, on a boat it's the fridge that pulls the most electricity.
