Description
The Gastronomical Me is a memoir of travel, love and loss, but above all hunger. In 1929 M.F.K. Fisher left America for France, where she tasted real French cooking for the first time, inspiring a prolific career as a food and travel writer.
Here, Fisher recounts unforgettable meals shared with an assortment of eccentric characters, set against a backdrop of mounting pre-war tensions. Her writing illustrates the art of ordering well, the pleasures of dining alone, and how to eat so you always find nourishment, in both head and heart.
Through her stories, Fisher reveals a way of eating, drinking, and living that is as much about connection as it is about sustenance. This is a book about the power of food to bring people together, and to transcend time and place.
