F. K. Fisher, alighting on long-time obsessions and idiosyncratic digressions to wholly charming effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdmired by W. H. Auden as one of the greatest American writers, M. F. K Fisher never focuses on just the food set before her. Instead, with unfailingly elegant prose, an eye for evocative detail and a knack for sharp-edged wit, she draws us in to the whole experience: from the company to the setting, from the preparation to the scraped-clean plate. She liberates her readers from caution, sweeps away adherence to culinary tradition, and celebrates cooking, eating and dining in all its guises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvocative, thoughtful, with a light touch and a wry humour, these essays illustrate with captivating ease why M. F. K. Fisher has become one of the most beloved and admired food writers of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstone's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43467223367917,"sku":"9781914198410","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781914198410_4d0a66fc-b998-42a2-adbb-3df942657812.jpg?v=1678204196","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781914198410","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
