Licence to Cook: Recipes inspired by Ian Fleming’s James Bond
Licence to Cook: Recipes Inspired by Ian Fleming's James Bond, written by website author Edward Biddulph, is a cookbook full of exciting recipes inspired by the food that Bond eats in the novels and short stories.
Grilled fish
James Bond's dinner with former British secret agent Madame Sixtine in Anthony Horowitz's second Bond novel, Forever and a Day, is a simple affair: grilled fish, salad, cheese and bread, all washed down with a bottle of the finest Puligny-Montrachet.
Caesar salad
Dinner with the mysterious Jeopardy Lane at the Plaza Hotel in New York in Trigger Mortis comprises Caesar salad and grilled sole. Bond orders for both of them and decides to keep the meal simple, eschewing the dishes pretentiously named in French that are liable to be overcooked.
What’s in James Bond’s kitchen (part 2)?
What does James Bond like to spread on his toast in the morning, put onto his eggs and bacon, or splash onto his grilled sole? If you said Little Scarlet strawberry jam, a sprinkling of fines herbes, or a meuniere sauce, you'd be a bit behind the times.
Bombe surprise
James Bond realises there's something fishy about the waiters serving dinner onboard the ocean liner at the conclusion of Diamonds Are Forever when one of the waiters, Mr Wint, fails to recognise that the Château Mouton Rothschild he presents to Bond is a claret.
Stuffed sheep’s head
Not for the first time, I'm somewhat puzzled by the food of Roger Moore's James Bond. In A View To A Kill, there are reasons for suspecting that Bond didn't make the quiche des cabinet himself. In Octopussy, I'm struggling to see how the sheep's head, served to him at a dinner hosted by Afghan prince Kamal Khan, could have been stuffed.
Curried goat
Curried goat is considered to be one of the national dishes of Jamaica. We are not told in the books whether James Bond ever has a meal of curried goat, but we know that it made a regular appearance at Ian Fleming's Jamaican home, Goldeneye.
The food of Goldfinger
I was a guest contributor to David Lowbridge-Ellis's excellent website, Licence to Queer, which provides queer readings of the James Bond books and films.
Licence to Dine
I was alerted to an interesting paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research: "Licence to Dine: 007 and the Real Exchange Rate" by Lee A. Craig, Julianne Treme & Thomas J. Weiss.
