(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Food Writing) Fisher, M.F.K. An Alphabet for Gourmets.

Introduction By Paul Levy, Illustrations By Ian Beck.Cloth-backed pictorial boards, slipcase. London: Folio Society, 2005.

InAlphabet for Gourmets, M.F.K. Fisher arranges a selection of her essays in a whimsical way that reveals the breadth and depth of her passion. From A for (dining) alone to Z for Zakuski, \”a Russian hors d\’oeuvre,\” Fisher alights on both longtime obsessions and idiosyncratic digressions. As usual, she liberates her readers from caution and slavish adherence to culinary tradition– and salts her writings with a healthy dose of humor. Fine.
