The Art of Eating
The Art of Eating | M. F. K. Fisher, Joan Reardon
10 posts | 9 read | 26 to read
RUTH REICHL"Mary Frances [Fisher] has the extraordinary ability to make the ordinary seem rich and wonderful. Her dignity comes from her absolute insistence on appreciating life as it comes to her."JULIA CHILD"How wonderful to have here in my hands the essence of M.F.K. Fisher, whose wit and fulsome opinions on food and those who produce it, comment upon it, and consume it are as apt today as they were several decades ago, when she composed them. Why did she choose food and hunger she was asked, and she replied, 'When I write about hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth, and the love of it . . . and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied.' This is the stuff we need to hear, and to hear again and again."ALCIE WATERS"This comprehensive volume should be required reading for every cook. It defines in a sensual and beautiful way the vital relationship between food and culture."

#24in48 #hour30challenge - I picked up this copy at a used book sale quite a few years ago. I know I would love it, but on the shelf it sits...and sits. One day!! 🍴📚

#TBRtemptation post 3! I like this cover very much as well. 50 years later & still considered one of the greatest writers on food, many think far surpassing the likes of Bourdain & Kitchen Confidential. Considering it has a 4.33 rating with over 5,000 ratings, that says something. There are 5 books in this: Consider the Oyster, The Gastronomical Me, Serve It Forth, How To Cook A Wolf, & An Alphabet for Gourmets. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

beeweird Oooh! A friend of mine is reading her biography now. Thanks for sharing. 7y

So I know this is cheating for #foodiefiction as these books are non-fiction but it was the closest thing I had on hand. I originally discovered M.F.K. Fisher thorough my interest in travel writing and continued reading her other works that focused more on "the art of eating".#ReadJanuary

celtichik I recently read a fictional account of her life, The Arrangement (I think), made me want to dive into her nonfiction writing. 7y
Ncostell @celtichik I had not heard of that book, I'll have to check it out! 7y

Spending some quality time with M. F. K. Fisher (and some lentils) as I work on a post about her writing

Today's topic for #augustphotochallenge is peach coloured books. I don't really have one that's peach coloured so here's a peach (not looking very peachy) on the cover of a book. The painting used is by Johann Wilhelm Preyer, a German painter who seems to have been fond of painting fruits! #bookphotochallenge #augustofpages

Sharpeipup Where can I find this photo challenge? Sounds like a fun endeavor... 8y

M.F.K. Fisher died on this date, June 22, in 1992. At that time, I was an intense reader of her works. When I told hubby I had just saw her obit, he said that he had heard about it on the radio and that he guessed "she wrote a lot about food". She was a pioneer in the genre and so good at it too.

Another for International Women's Day. Anything by M. F. K. Fisher. I discovered her when I was in grad school and have loved food writing ever since
