With Bold Knife and Fork (Paperback, [New Ed.])

The bulk of this book first appeared in The New Yorker in the 1960s but it is no ordinary collection of recipes. They are there, yes, and very good they are too, simply explained and drawing more on France than Fisher's native America. But this book can also be seen as a memoir of an extraordinary woman who was born with the century and died only in 1992. During a remarkable life, she lived in France in the 1920s and 1930s, then in Switzerland before returning to the States where in the 1960s she was a redoubtable campaigner for Civil Rights. Much of this emerges here; but there are also a host of stories about almost anything dominated, though, at all times by the sensuous pleasures of food. (Kirkus UK)

In one of her most celebrated books, the doyenne of food writers offers us more than 140 of her favourite and most famous recipes. Here are dishes for every course of every meal - from 'Teasers and Titbits', through 'Some Seeds of this Planet' to 'A Plethora of Puddings'. Whether simple or esoteric, all are served with an inimitable mixture of wit, anecdote and practicality.
