Miss Graham's Cold War Cookbook by Celia Rees

4.0

Miss Graham's Cold War Cookbook by Celia Rees is based on the aftermath of World War 2 and finding Nazi's hiding, holding them accountable for their war crimes. Edith joins British forces and disguises her correspondence as recipes. This is an interesting take on World War 2 and how it effected everyone. Rees does an amazing job describing the torture and absolute disgusting actions taken against the "inferior" community during the war. I will say, most of the recipes did not appeal to my palate but I can appreciate the hardships during this time. I found the background history very interesting and showed me interesting facts that I didn't know.
Overall, the book had a sad historical plot. We know the story but I loved the take on the spies and the way they did their job. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, especially surrounding post-war Germany.
Special thanks to NetGalley, Celia Rees, and HarperCollins- William Morrow Publishing for the advance digital copy of Miss Graham's Cold War Cookbook in exchange for my honest opinion.
