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.‎
