M.F.K. Fisher
A playful, thoughtful, and delicious A to Z of M.F.K. Fisher’s food writing.
This program features a new introduction to the text, written and read by author and The Great British Bake Off runner-up, Ruby Tandoh.
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.

"I can't tell you how much I envoy the joy of reading Mary Frances for the first time. It will change your life"

“Since Mrs. Fisher wrote [An Alphabet for Gourmets], naturally it is witty, pungent and highly civilized, but also it has a special charm . . . It not only guides and titillates; it warms.”
—Rex Stout, The New York Times Book Review
“Full of sound counsel, shrewd observation, luscious memories of dinners eaten and wines drunk, and a lot of common sense spiced with personal recollection. It’s a good mixture.”
—J. H. Jackson, San Francisco Chronicle
“Entertaining and knowledgeable.”
—The New Yorker
