Product Description
Synopsis
The return of a classic--long-lived and treasured by all who love the good, considered life. "And seriously I think every recipe I have used, unless I have stated flatly that it was the nadir of all such formulae, or printed solely for amazement, is workable, useful, and delicious. Wow. And also I have made every one, and changed it over the years, which is a rare thing, I state as a jaded viewer of the current crop of shameless cheating books being published for kitchen-buffs. "Well...back to my fish."From a letter to her editor, February 5, 1968Boldly confessing her prejudices and her passions, M. F. K. Fisher has written a mouth-watering, soul-satisfying book composed of seventeen chapters with over 140 recipes. Whether recalling forbidden fruits from her childhood (like mashed potatoes with catsup), her mother's legendary mustard pickles, or a Caribbean bride singing about peas and rice, each description is flavored with the eloquence, warmth, and wit that has become her hallmark. Here are dishes for every course of every meal, from the simplest to the most esoteric: tidbits, appetizers, breads, pastries, fish, fowl, meats, soups, vegetables, desserts, and casseroles.

‘M. F. K. Fisher is one of the best of food writers. She is witty, wise, unpretentious. She makes you laugh, tells you stories, intrigues your mind, takes you on her travels’ Jane Grigson
In one of her most celebrated books, the doyenne of food writers offers us more than 140 of her favourite and most famous recipes. Here are dishes for every course of every meal – from ‘Teasers and Titbits’, through ‘Some Seeds of this Planet’ to ‘A Plethora of Puddings’. Whether simple or esoteric, all are served with an inimitable mixture of wit, anecdote and practicality.
‘The perfect bedside read…full of good tales, told with wit and wisdom. And it is a damn good cookbook’ Prue Leith
‘If I were still teaching high-school English, I’d use [Fisher’s] books to show how to write simply, how to enjoy food and drink but, most of all, how to enjoy life. Her books and letters are one feast after another’ Frank McCourt
‘Mrs Fisher is as talented a writer as she is a cook…I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose’ W. H. Auden --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
