Audience Member great idea, well filmed, explicit and straight-into-your-face story... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice look at the various wars from the eyes of a cook. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A unique and inspired documentary that follows the importance of military cooking throughout the 20th century. Through interviews with military cooks from a range of countries from WWII to the conflict between Serbia and Croatia, "Cooking History" pieces together an insightful and surprisingly moving look at what an important role food has played throughout history. An unexpected pleasure. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Not so much a documentary as it is a meditation on military cooking since 1939 in Europe. A bit odd but enjoyable and certainly original. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely loved it! Amazing realization of an interesting idea - the pace of the film is just right, the story draws you in and you can't help yourself - one moment you feel like crying and the next you can't stop laughing. Touching and real - I really want to watch it again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
