Description

Cook's Cook tells the story of James Cook's 1768 journey aboard H.M.S. Endeavour through the eyes of John Thompson, the ship's one-handed cook. This unique perspective offers insights into social class, hierarchy and race, as well as the stories of explorers and the people they encountered.

Through real recipes from the ship's galley, events on board, and the places the Endeavour traveled to the Pacific, this book presents multiple stories that shed new light on one of history's most famous explorers. Beautifully illustrated and drawn from extensive research, Cook's Cook is a fascinating look at this pivotal moment in history.
