Overview

Nobody has ever killed anybody else while eating a mouthful of cake. Can food really change the course of world history? The cook with no name certainly thinks so. It's a crazy thought, but no crazier than anything else he's been through, so why not? Set in Europe in the throes of the Napoleonic Wars, our story is full of eccentric characters, great generals, men of insatiable ambition, high society doyennes, murderous rogues and swashbucklers. Along the way we smuggle rum with pirates in the balmy Caribbean, explore the underworld of a Paris on the brink of imploding under the weight of its own expectations, fall in love and taste exotic recipes, including the preparation and cooking of the fearsome vampire fish. Napoleon and the Cook with no Name is a zesty retelling of pre- and post-French-revolutionary history with a culinary flavour, where even impossible dreams can come true..
