    Author M.F.K. Fisher
    “Book Descriptions: This book is the essence of M.F.K. Fisher, whose wit and fulsome opinions on food and those who produce it, comment upon it, and consume it are as apt today as they were several decades ago, when she composed them. Why did she choose food and hunger, she was asked, and she replied, 'When I write about hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth, and the love of it . . . and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied.'

    Includes five of her most popular works:
    Serve It Forth (1937)
    Consider the Oyster (1941)
    How to Cook a Wolf (1942)
    The Gastronomical Me (1943)
    An Alphabet of Gourmets (1949)
