Compare Serve It Forth by M. F. K. Fisher, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In Serve It Forth, her first book, M. F. K. Fisher takes readers on an animated journey through culinary history, beginning with the honey-loving Greeks and the immoderate Romans. Fisher recalls a hunt for snails and truffles with one of the last adepts in that art and recounts how Catherine de Medici, lonely for home cooking, touched off a culinary revolution by bringing Italian chefs to France. Each essay makes clear the absolute firmness of Fisher's taste-contrarian and unique-and her skill at stirring memory and imagination into a potent brew. | Serve It Forth by M. F. K.
