Alexis Soyer is known as the great cook of the Reform Club and an author of a number of cookery books who single-handedly transformed Army catering which in the mid-nineteenth century was truly horrific. This book describes his time in the Crimean War.
Soyer''s brilliant memoir, published in 1856 and never since reprinted. A vivid account of the Crimean War and of Soyer''s inventions and recipes for feeding armies in the field. He was as important in the Crimea as Florence Nightingale, for his influence on the reform of army feeding enabled wounded soldiers to survive. A modified version of the Soyer stove was still in use in the Gulf War. Introductions by Elizabeth Ray and military historian Michael Barthorp.
