Miss Graham’s Cold War Cookbook is a literary fiction book by author Celia Rees.
Celia Rees is a brilliant writer, and this novel has one of the most compelling and original stories I have ever known.
This striking historical novel about an ordinary young English woman sent to uncover a network of spies and war criminals in postwar Germany will appeal to fans of The Huntress and Transcription.

The Second World War had just ended and Britain had established the German Control Commission, which oversaw their area of occupation. The Board of Control hired British civilians to work in Germany, rebuilding the ruined nation and prosecuting war crimes. Slightly aimless, bored with her job as a teacher in the countryside and no longer wanting to live with her overbearing mother, Edith Graham, 30, applies for a job with the Commission – but she’s also employed by her cousin Leo, who’s on the Committee. Confidential Service. Edith is the perfect spy… single, plain-looking, with a university degree in German. Cousin Leo arrived in Oxford with one of their most sought-after war criminals, Count Kurt von Stavenow, whom Edith remembered well from before the war. He wants her to find him.

Edith arrives in Germany with a convincing cover story: She is a humble education worker sent to help revive German schools. To pass the information back to her Secret Service people in London, Edith created the perfect replacement, cookbook author Stella Snelling, who writes a cooking column for a popular magazine language. She embeds vital intelligence in the recipes she gathers. Occupied Germany is overrun with spies, collaborators, and other opportunists, and as she is drawn into their world, Edith soon discovers that no one is what they seem. The more she discovered von Stavenow’s whereabouts – and the network of German civilians still supporting him – the greater the danger.
