Items related to With Bold Knife and Fork
The woman who elevated food writing to an art is at her best in this mouthwatering collection of memoirs and recipes. Boldly confessing her prejudices and her passions, M.F.K Fisher includes more than 140 recipes in the 17 chapters of this book.
Dishes for every course of every meal can be found here, from the simplest to the most esoteric: tidbits, appetizers, breads, pastries, fish, fowl, meats, soups, vegetables, desserts, and casseroles.
Whether recalling forbidden fruits from her childhood (such as 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 became Fisher’s hallmark. Among the many admirers Fisher accrued during her illustrious and varied career was W.H. Auden, who said of her, I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose.”

About the Author:
Praise for M.F.K. Fisher
"[Fisher] writes as one intelligent adult to another—practically, often profoundly, and always beautifully. If eating means more to you than steak drowned in bottled sauces, then she's what you've been looking for." —The San Francisco Examiner
"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 are one feast after another." —Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes
In a career that extended over seven decades until her death in 1992, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher wrote twenty-six books with a prose style at once vivid, elegant, and a little bit wicked. Her books include The Gastronomical Me, How to Cook a Wolf, Consider the Oyster, and Serve It Forth.
