Napoleon Special

Episode overview

There is a war in the kitchen, though not between the Price brothers - but between a few of the dishes they make. It is covered with gastronomy with a historical dimension - and all dishes hide a story about Napoleon Bonaparte. A few famous cakes bear his name, the classic Søtunge Walevska is named after Napoleon's mistress, and finally the Battle of Waterloo is recreated when Napoleon's livery, Chicken Marengo is up against Beef Wellington, named after Napoleon's court man, the Duke of Wellington. The astute viewer will also sense that at least one of the chefs has an unusual Napoleon geek.
