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.
