If you're in the Milwaukee area next week, this might be worth while. It's showing at the film festival there, but might make it to Netflix? Looks...intersting. :munchin

Cooking History

Six wars, 10 recipes, 60 million dead. Cooking History is a surprisingly funny documentary that cleverly fuses the stories of six European wars and the numerous military chefs who prepare food in the rear. Like some bizarre version of a Food Network competition, improvised meals, often made with limited ingredients on hand, are concocted to serve thousands. Interviews with these overlooked chefs reveal universal truths about war and the human condition. As one field chef glibly observes, Life goes on, and the soldier must eat.
