I remembered coming across a couple of her essays in college. Her prose is possibly some of the best writing from the 20th Century, so the difficulty in getting her books was rather puzzling. Food critics and chefs always refer to M.F.K.

So I need to pick up a M.F.K. Fisher book. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-2270869190575880382007-09-20T12:06:00.000-05:002007-09-20T12:06:00.000-05:00How to make a pearl - I imagine so many food items...How to make a pearl - I imagine so many food items with this title - also of course, how actually a pearl is made!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979896448183348883noreply@blogger.com
