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.

Two aspects of Len Deighton's writing - cookery and spy novels - combine in the Action Cook Book. Between 1962 and 1966 Deighton published a weekly "cook-strip" in the Observer. The cook-strip was a cartoon-strip style recipe, where illustration replaced words. The cook-strips are reproduced here, with additional notes, as well as chapters such as 'The Secret Weapon in the Kitchen: the Blender' and 'Bachelor Foods (The Quick Cook)'.

Best most adorable dog toy
So Ivy and Archie got married they are therapy dogs at an assisted living and Jackson was the best man. We fashioned the box with a ribbon around Jackson’s neck but he was too interested in playing with the box for it too last. While the pastor was officiating the wedding the groom did eat the top of the ring off but we snagged it for the bride to wear on her wrist! This dog toy was the best prop ever so adorable well made and authentic! I highly recommend this toy as a prop for a dog wedding !!

If Your Dog Wants to Tie the Knot
This is about the only diamond ring toy of its type, for a dog, that I have been able to find, and it filled the need perfectly. I would have given it 5 stars, but I thought that the price was a few dollars higher than necessary. I needed it quickly though, and it was delivered in rural Tennessee within 48 hours. It's a 2 part dog toy that probably wouldn't hold up especially well if your dog is rough on stuffy toys. My girl is gentle, and it doesn't have any squeakers in it, so it will last. I imagine it will wash well in a garment bag, although I haven't done that yet. If your dog wants to tie the knot, this is the ring for you.
