    This is pretty cool. A photographer and a food stylist got together to prepare and photograph the meals described in the various Ian Fleming Bond novels.

    I found this blog while searching for details on that particular meal.
    This is about the only English language recipe I could find for that.

    How could Fleming have screwed it up?

    The reason it was shaken and not stirred was a direct reaction to the fact that Fleming had an American friend he would holiday with who would always stir his cocktails and Fleming saw this as a trope of the new world. True, if little known, fact.

    Shaken tastes better than stirred anyway.

    The old saying that shaking will "bruise" the gin is meaningless nonsense.

    Eddie's mom mentioned Sardi's when he brought home the lobsters the guy on the train threw at him.
