It can't always be caviar

Driven from his cherished London home by circumstances beyond his control, Thomas Lieven -- ladies man, pacifist and gourmand -- reluctantly finds himself forced to work as a secret agent for no less than four countries on various fronts of wartime Europe: England, France, Germany and the United States, before, during and after WWII.

The book includes the recipes of the gourmet meals which Lieven prepares for friend and, sometimes, foe, during his manifold adventures, and which are a treat entirely in their own right. Just flat out loved this book!
