A memoir and cookbook both
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"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.
