Description
"For M.F.K. Fisher, the enjoyment of food and wine were inextricably linked. As the greatest female food writer of the 20th century, her dozens of books and essays are bursting with mindful observations about eating with gusto and the distinctive pleasure that comes from nourishing yourself and others.
