Description:Rarely has a man defined the spirit of an age as well as Alexis Soyer. A celebrity chef, bestselling author, entrepreneur, inventor & Crimean war hero, Soyer built the world famous kitchens of London's Reform Club & filled them with such ingenious inventions as the gas stove & steam lifts. In the 1840s he established soup kitchens during the Irish potato famine—a revolutionary concept at the time—& in the following decade risked his life by traveling to the Russian peninsula to reform army catering for the troops, saving thousands of soldiers from the effects of malnutrition. But Soyer—in the spirit of his age—was also a secret womanizer, near bankrupt, & an alcoholic. Despite the fame of his lifetime, Soyer dropped completely from the public eye after his untimely death. His friend Florence Nightingale, never one to praise lightly, wrote that his passing was "a great disaster for the nation." Despite making several fortunes Soyer died penniless. His personal papers were destroyed, his funeral a hushed-up affair. Today his grave lies neglected & rotting.
