This book stands out for its focus on the role of food in World War One. It addresses the whole subject and explores how it affected the course of the war.
Blom actually staged a re-enactment where he took the part of a cook on the Western Front, and then spent three days in a recreated trench, enduring what the soldiers had to suffer throughout the war.
The book was translated by Suzanne Jansen.
