Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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..
