This book traces the facts behind the legend in a detailed introduction. What was the life of the Landsknechte like? How were they fed? What food did they know and how did they prepare it? Based on sources from the 15th and 16th centuries, the book finally offers over 50 recipes that were familiar to the Landsknechts and nourished them in good or lean times. Each original recipe is accompanied by instructions for preparation in the modern kitchen.
The swashbuckling image of the Landsknechts, with their extravagant dress and adventurous deeds, has endured to this day. In their day, they were regarded not least as insatiable drunkards and fastidious eaters. Officers feared their wrath if food deliveries failed to arrive. Their songs tell us of complaints of hunger and cold, but also of dreams of roast chickens and cool wine. But what did they have on their plates?
