An alphabet for gourmets
About this book
An Alphabet for Gourmets A playful, thoughtful, and delicious A to Z of M.F.K. Fisher’s food writing.In An Alphabet for Gourmets, M.F.K. Fisher creates a wide-ranging, whimsical, and profound miscellany of food that moves readers from A (for dining alone) to Z (zakuski, the classic accompaniments to a shot of Russian vodka), traversing a broad swath of human history, taste, and sensation along the way. Fisher’s mercurial, searching prose and her inimitable sense of the unique and idiosyncratic aspects of our daily fare are on radiant display in this abecedary of flavor, sense, and history.
