Harald Pöcher: Eat Like Lucullus, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

"No food, no fight" is a common saying among soldiers. It perfectly encapsulates what they simply cannot do without. While the meals of ordinary soldiers were usually modest, military leaders feasted like princes, befitting their rank.

This book spans a historical arc from antiquity to the end of the Napoleonic Wars and presents the favorite dishes of famous military leaders, from Ramses II to the Duke of Wellington, for readers to recreate at home.

Professor Dr. Harald Pöcher is a retired major general. He has been involved in military economics and military history for decades and is also an avid amateur chef.
