A while back I gave you the recipe for James Bond's Scrambled Eggs, and that got me thinking if there was a site devoted to all the other stuff that 007 likes to eat and drink. And there is.
You can find out the recipe for his martini, of course (though did his drink really contain both vodka and gin?) and find out how to serve caviar the right way. You can even get some idea on throwing a James Bond theme party and take a Bond food quiz.
The site has to be updated though. There's still a picture of Pierce Brosnan on the front page.

Bond's recipe for scrambled eggs is certainly simpler than Nero Wolfe's:
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 cup light cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 grindings fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons clarified butter
few drops tarragon wine vinegar
Directions:
Bring water in the bottom of a double boiler to a boil and reduce the heat so that the water barely simmers. Use an asbestos pad if necessary. Break the eggs into a small bowl and add the cream, salt, and pepper. Beat vigorously with a whisk. Melt the butter in the top of the double boiler and add the egg-cream mixture. Cover and place over the simmering water.
Allow to cook undisturbed for about 15 minutes. Uncover and stir with a wooden spoon and continue to stir continuously until the desired degree of firmness is achieved. Be sure that the water in the bottom section does not reach a full boil. In the meantime, cook the clarified butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat until it turns a dark brown. Be careful that it does not burn. Add a few drops of vinegar, stir, and serve as a sauce for the scrambled eggs.
