Mealtimes With My Maritime Friends is much more than a recipe book. It is a compendium of memories, stories, anecdotes, cultures, people and places. It is a tribute to the many and varied individuals from all over the world — above deck, below deck and shoreside — who are integral to keeping the maritime industry turning and, by definition, the world turning 24 hours a day, every day.
 
It is a celebration of different cuisines and culinary traditions. It is a platform for raising awareness about the maritime industry as well as a myriad of community, medical and animal welfare causes. It is a fundraising initiative for The Brun Bear Foundation's newly launched annual MarineBEAR Award.
