Born in Michigan in 1908, M. F. K. Fisher developed her love of cooking in France, where she lived with her first husband, Al Fisher. She began to write about food in 1935. In 1938 she moved to Switzerland with her second husband, the painter Dillwyn Parish. After his death in 1941 she returned to California and several years later married the publisher Donald Friede, with whom she had two daughters. In the early 1960s she became active in the American civil rights movement and went to Mississippi as a volunteer teacher. She died in 1992.
The bulk of this book first appeared in The New Yorker in the 1960s but it is no ordinary collection of recipes. They are there, yes, and very good they are too, simply explained and drawing more on France than Fisher's native America. But this book can also be seen as a memoir of an extraordinary woman who was born with the century and died only in 1992. During a remarkable life, she lived in France in the 1920s and 1930s, then in Switzerland before returning to the States where in the 1960s she was a redoubtable campaigner for Civil Rights. Much of this emerges here; but there are also a host of stories about almost anything dominated, though, at all times by the sensuous pleasures of food. (Kirkus UK)
