Serve It Forth

Autor M. F. K. Fisher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2026

A witty, idiosyncratic guided tour through culinaria past and present by the inimitable M.F.K. Fisher.

In Serve It Forth, her first book, M.F.K. Fisher is already in full bloom. She travels the byways and tables of history with her unique literary vision, laying bare the peculiarities, profundities, and absurdities of the eating (and thinking) life. She makes an equal feast of the sybaritic Roman diet and its decadent excesses as she does of the slow progress of the snail as it makes its arduous way from garden to escargot. Serve It Forth is an occasion for celebrating food in all its many hues and guises, under the guidance of our greatest modern food writer and philosopher.

Fisher ... brings onstage a peach or a brace of quail and shows us history, cities, fantasies, memories, emotions."--Patricia Storace, "The New York Review of Books""One of my great heroes."--Jacques Pepin"A delightful book.
