Docs: Cooking History

With the weather closing in today and Cooking History screening at Eau Claire at 4:30pm, what better way for history buffs and those utterly bored by history movies to unite under the same roof! This brief intro to the wars of the 20th century is told through the recipes of military cooks across the decades. There's recipes for bread laced with arsenic and bread for starving troops, but then there's the decadence experienced by dictators that only the head chef would know about. Certainly stuff that never makes it to the text books!
