Cook’s Cook The Cook who Cooked for Captain Cook by Gavin Bishop The 1768 journey of James Cook’s Endeavour to the South Paci c, told through the eyes of the ship’s cook.
Much has been written about Captain Cook but this book gives a completely fresh perspective. You can tell so many different stories through food— culture, class, adventure, humour and history. And there are more stories in the illustrations—it is a masterpiece in my opinion.
Julia Marshall, Publisher
Cook’s Cook follows the 1768 journey of James Cook’s H.M.S. Endeavour with his ship’s cook, the one-handed John Thompson, as story teller.
Through real recipes, events on board and the places the ship traveled on its way to the Paci c, the book tells multiple stories.
Here are stories of social class, hierarchy and race; stories of explorers and the people of the land; the story of one of the world’s most famous explorers told through a bright new lens.
And of course, it’s a book about food: from Pease Pudding to Goose Pie and Shark Steaks, here’s how a resourceful cook fed a shipful of hungry sailors on their extraordinary adventure.
