“I don’t think I’m a food writer any more than I am a love

This quote might seem surprising since M. F. K. Fisher is
synonymous with food writing. Her 30+ books are largely centered on food,
as clearly exhibited in THE ART OF EATING, which has been in print since
1954. This masterful tome contains her five most popular books—SERVE IT
FORTH (1937), CONSIDER THE OYSTER (1941), HOW TO COOK A WOLF (1942), THE
GASTRONOMICAL ME (1943) and AN ALPHABET FOR GOURMETS (1949). An eclectic
mixture of instruction, opinion, and autobiography, her writing is
straightforward but beautiful, giving the reader a sense of familiarity
with every story told. READ
