The present article retraces Leonardo's lifelong passion for cooking, moving from some attempts to introduce the nouvelle cuisine in Florentine inns during his apprenticeship in Verrocchio's workshop, towards his vivid interest in setting up sumptuous banquets and organizing spectacular feasts for Ludovico Sforza (also known as "Il Moro") in the Sforza's court in Milan. In the above-mentioned article it is also possible to find references to some of the artist-scientist's inventions he made to facilitate the tiring culinary work or to enrich the table, such as the spit roast, the three-pronged fork and the napkin.
