Merry Christmas to all my fellow Bond fans and foodies! A huge thank you for your support over the year. I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Next year promises to be an exciting one in the world of James Bond. The year 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the Bond films, Anthony Horowitz’s new Bond novel, With a Mind to Kill, will be published, and later in the year, there will be a new Bond trilogy by Kim Sherwood. I’m looking forward to cooking up dishes mentioned in those novels.

Watch this space, too, for an exciting development for ‘James Bond Food’. All will be revealed in due course!

I hope you’ve had a great Christmas Day, and that Father Christmas brought you some lovely Bond-related pressies. One of the gifts I received was a bottle of ‘Licence to Grill’ ale, brewed by Cottage Delight. Bond and beer – two of my favourite things!
