M.F.K. Fisher, An Alphabet for Gourmets (North Point Press 1989) A book about the fine arts of eating and writing built on the letters of the alphabet. As Fisher herself says, "The possibilities for bettering the somewhat dingy patterns of life on earth by a new interest in how best to stay our human hunger are so infinite that, to my mind at least, some such tyrannical limitations as an ABC will impose are almost requisite. The alphabet is also controversial, which in itself is good." MORE: Amazon |
