007 Food: Fish stew, beans and rice

Food: Fish stew, beans and rice
Bond book appearance: Moneypenny Diaries (2005)
Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made



"We arrived at the house just as the sky was beginning to pale. Jose's mother opened the door warily to our knock, but appeared delighted when she saw me and quickly pulled us both inside. Through sign language, I managed to ask her if we could use the small upstairs room again, and when she disappeared into the kitchen, I rushed upstairs and went straight to the bed.The relief was extraordinary: there it was, the Delco radio, wedged into the corner under the bed where I'd left it. I went back to downstairs with a lighter heart. Jose's mother emerged from the kitchen a few minutes later with the inevitable bowls of fish stew, beans and rice. We ate them watching dawn break over the port. I felt the excitement flood back into my veins. It was the 4th of October."
Kate Westbrook: "Moneypenny Diaries" (2005)

Bond book: The Moneypenny Diaries: Guardian Angel
Author: Kate Westbrook (Samantha Weinberg)
Publication date: 10 October 2005


Guardian Angel is the first novel in The Moneypenny Diaries series, an official spin-off series that focuses on M's assistant Miss Moneypenny. The novel was written by Samantha Weinberg and published in the UK in 2005. 


Plot synopsis

The first diary fills in the gaps between a number of agent 007's missions including the period between "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1963) and "You Only Live Twice" (1964), but also includes an entire backstory for Miss Moneypenny. For the first time since Fleming introduced the character alongside Bond in "Casino Royale" (1953), Moneypenny is given a first name: Jane.
