About this ebook
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher is hailed as one of America’s preeminent writers about gastronomy, but her work reaches far beyond the limits of that genre. Whether the subject of her fancy is the lowly, unassuming potato or the love life of that aphrodisiac mollusk the oyster, she explores the complexities of the world with an all-consuming curiosity. In this collection of some of her finest works, Fisher demonstrates a palette well-trained not only in gastronomical masterpieces, but in life’s best pleasures as well.
Love in a Dish . . . and Other Culinary Delights is nothing less than an instruction manual on how to live, eat, and love. Compiled by the prolific researcher and culinary enthusiast Anne Zimmerman, these essays celebrate our lustful appetites, as in “Once a Tramp, Always . . . “ and “Love in a Dish.”
M.F.K. Fisher
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher (1908–1992) was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. At the age of twenty-one she moved from America to France, where she tasted real French cooking for the first time, and it inspired a prolific writing career centred on a new way of thinking about food and travel. She was a regular contributor to the New Yorker, Gourmet and Vogue, and is the author of twenty-seven books of food, memoir and travel, many of which have become classics. These include Consider the Oyster, How to Cook a Wolf and The Gastronomical Me.
