Two books to add to the food-related reading list. Shout out to my homegirl Nance L for her recommendation of MFK Fisher.
The draw of this book, for me, is its synthesis of literature and food. It's essentially an anthology or compilation of meditations (both sincere and satirical) on food from a range of literary sources--from Winnie the Pooh to D.H. Laurence to John Keats to Virginia Woolf.
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was a prolific and seminal writer beginning in the 1930's all the way through the 90's until her death in 1992. She dealt mostly with food in her writing. What I like about her is her charming style and her approach to food from so many different angles--especially through a cultural and historical lens.
