I am going to cook you the best meal you have ever tasted in your life! Harry Palmer to Sue Lloyd in The Ipcress Files Len was a great cook a smashing cook. I learned a lot about food from playing Harry Palmer Michael Caine If you look carefully at Harry Palmers kitchen in the classic film The Ipcress Files you will notice a newspaper pinned on the wall. This is one of Len Deightons classic cookstrips the series that ran for two years when he was the Observer food writer.
