The Art of Eating is an omnibus that collects M. F. K. Fisher’s first five gastronomical books, written between 1937 and 1949. The singularity of Fisher’s early work is evidenced by the fact that the New York Times called her debut—a book about food with no pretense of being a cookbook—“unique,” “different,” “shocking,” and “odd.” Despite the countless writers who’ve followed in her footsteps, she remains unmatched in her ability to put into words the sensuous power of food and the imaginative sway of musing appetites.
This sounds like a great book! Adding to my reading list.
