Description

|
|
|
From her very first book Serve It Forth, M.F.K. Fisher wrote about her ideal kitchen. In subsequent publications she revisited the many kitchens she had known and the foods she savored in them to express her ideas about the art of eating. Here the author of the Fisher biography Poet of the Appetites offers a retrospective of Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher's life in those homey settings. Interspersed with recipes and richly illustrated with family photos and cozy watercolors, the book follows Fisher from her childhood in Whittier, California, to the kitchens of Dijon, where she developed her taste for French foods and wines; from the idyllic kitchen at Le Paquis to the isolation of her home in Hemet, California; and finally to her last days in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
