Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. DEIGHTON, Len [256] pp. Penguin Books 1967 5 1/8" x 7 3/4" Cover design by Raymond Hawkey The Action Cook Book was once an instructional book for the bachelor male a guide to sophisticated cooking for the would-be Harry Palmer. It now has a great following as a fabulous piece of nostalgia as well as retaining real credibility as a genuinely useful cook book. If you need to create the basic wine cellar (basic to Len Deighton decidedly aspirational to the rest of us), or to learn how to cook full-bodied meals with a seductive touch (how could you resist brain soufflé? brains are a very good constituent for a souffle. They are delicious fried, or in any of the piquant wine sauces ), then this is the book for you.
