A light hearted and amusing look at life in the now obsolete Army Catering Corps, as seen through the eyes of someone who joined in what was, the very different world of 1977. A young recruit, enduring the bullying NCOs of the basic training era and working through many postings and different experiences, before leaving in 1991 at the rank of sergeant. The book takes the reader to places around the world, including the war torn 1970's Northern Ireland and allows them a behind the scenes experience of the cookhouses of many different types of units and at each rank up to and including the illustrious cook sergeant.
