Writing Prompt: James Bond Attends Cooking School

James Bond is one of the most famous characters in modern fiction and cinema. He is iconic, but he is also frequently re-imagined. He went from a polished brown haired machine to a blond with a lot of baggage and a lot fewer quips.

Even if you have never read one James Bond book or movie, you very likely have an idea of what Bond is like.

Your prompt today is to take James Bond, any version you like, and place him in a cooking school.

What you do next is up to you. This could be funny or it could be violent, or anything in between. All I know is that James Bond is attending a cooking school. I wonder what will happen next?

Happy Writing!
