Synopsis
A portrait of different military cooks from all over Europe who served in various armies and have witnessed the European wars of the 20th century. Their recollections tap into a subjective view of historical events and one that diverges in some respects from conventional history. They take us behind the scenes of dates, facts, declarations of war, battles, and peace agreements.
COOKING HISTORY shows the little secrets of these people, opens up a dimension of history one won’t find in textbooks or archives. The directness of the anecdotes and destinies of the people in this film conveys a sense of life and death in the “war apparatus,” a sense of hope, longing, and survival strategies in the midst of destruction and despair.
