A memoir and cookbook both,
By
This review is from: With Bold Knife and Fork (A Paragon book) (Paperback)
"With Bold Knife and Fork" was the last book of culinary and writing great M.F.K. Fisher to focus solely on food. This book is a wonderful collection of recipes, with an especially interesting section on vegetables; and also contains humorous and moving anecdotes, written in excellent, finished prose. Only M.F.K. Fisher can make eating mashed potatoes with ketchup sound like a religious ritual; or make you laugh when discussing how a romance came to an end when a snoopy, ill-informed potential partner ruined a sauce for a dinner she was making. This is a terrific book for diehard Fisher fans, but also a very good, intelligent, and amusing cookbook in its own right.

My favorite Fisher book,
By Auntie L (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Bold Knife and Fork (Paperback)
Fisher fans know of her way with evocative prose, but she's damn funny as well; that's why this book is my favorite. She is in top form in this one, and her tendency to be a little, dare I say it, pretentious is less evident!
