Chef Bond

So we are to believe James prepared that picture-perfect, delicious-looking omelet for himself and Stacey. So, in addition to being a British Intelligence Officer, James is also a Four-Star Chef. Of course, after breakfast, James sewed Stacey a sweater, drew her portrait and built a shoe rack for her walk-in closet. Because fighting international terrorists is only a small portion of his enormous skill set. James also coaches youth football and teaches Astrophysics in his spare time.

It does not take a four star chef to make a Quiche. Its pretty simple actually and is done in 3 steps within about 60 minutes.
Its the baking of it who steals most of the time (40-50 minutes).

If Bond can go into space, drive an invisible car, free fall into and then pull up a plane in a nose dive and surf a tsunami then I have no problem believing he can make a quiche. It doesn't take a four-star chef, or even a Waffle House chef, to make a quiche. I'm not some great cook and I can make one. They're much easier than an omelette as there's no flipping or anything you just throw it in the oven.

in the books, Bond is quite a fan of gourmet food. He talks about his favourite foods in detail, as much as he describes his vodka martinis. Makes sense he'd be able to cook.

Although , in the novels, he does have a house maid who cooks his scrambled eggs for him :)

I'm just starting to figure that out as I'm reading the books for the first time. When I was a teenager I started reading The Spy Who Loved Me and was so confused by the lack of Bond and the weird story about some broad instead of a story resembling one of my favorite films. I gave up on the book and never picked up a Bond book again until the other day. I read Casino Royale, just finished Live And Let Die earlier this evening, I'll probably start Moonraker tomorrow and DAF/FRWL/DN/GF should arrive from Amazon in the next couple of days. I get a little bored with the food descriptions and it makes me imagine that if Fleming were alive today he'd probably be one of those constantly updating Facebook with descriptions and photographs of every meal and cocktail he was served. And 9 times out of 10 it would probably be scrambled eggs. Otherwise pretty enjoyable reads. As fan of the films for about 31 years (since I saw AVTAK in the theater when I was 5) who knows every film by heart it's fun but weird to read these very familiar but also very different stories.

One of the qualifications to become a MI6/00 agent is the ability to make a perfect omelette.
