Growing up on Nantucket fishing has always been part of Bob’s life; he started working as a mate for his dad Ray on the Albacore when he was nine years old. By the time he was 18 he had obtained a Coast Guard Captains License and become an expert at fishing Nantucket’s unique sets of shoals and rips. In 1994 Bob took over the Albacore after his Dad lost a short but fierce battle to cancer. Some of Capt. Bob accomplishments include captaining the boat that caught the first Blue Marlin in Nantucket Anglers Club History, being featured in Saltwater Sportsman twice and catching the first keeper Bass on the Island three years in a row. In 2007 Capt. Bob won the Boston Big Game Club Monster Shark Tournament on Martha’s Vineyard. This tournament is the largest shark tournament on the east coast and was televised on Spike TV. Capt Bob and Debra, his wife of 21 years have a son Raymond. (Named after his grandfather). Both Deb and Ray love to fish and will often be seen out on the boat with Bob when he doesn’t have a charter. Ray is taking after his dad and grandfather and working on the Albacore as a mate from time to time.
ABOUT SI MANGIA & LILIANA DOUGAN:
Plain and simple, Liliana has a love for food. She loves to cook for people and watch them enjoy the meals that she has personally created just for them. Liliana was born and raised on a small farm in Southern Italy. All of her food growing up came from our land – from the flour they used in their bread, the olives that were pressed for their oil, the grapes used for their wine to the animals raised for their food, Liliana’s family even made their own butter and soap!
As a child, Liliana remembers waking early in the morning to find her mother getting the brick wall oven sizzling hot for the fresh bread she was about to bake or getting ready to head out to find fresh grown vegetables for the family meals that day. Everything they ate was seasonal , organic, and local. Her mother’s greatest gift is to create amazing meals with the simplest, freshest ingredients, that was how she cooked in Italy and it is how she cooks now and her legacy lives on in Liliana’s cooking.
Liliana has worked in the food industry since 15 years old. From catering weddings to working in a five star restaurant, she experienced every aspect of working in a restaurant, but her passion is just cooking. Liliana offers her clients numerous ethnic cuisines, including South American, French, Chinese, Indian, and American classics. Of course her favorite is Italian, from peasant foods to elegant contemporary Italian cuisine. She even offers home made pasta to her clients, including her new gluten free pasta.
