The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book
By Alice B. Toklas, M. F. K. Fisher, Sir Francis Rose
Harpercollins - 1984
For reading perhaps more than cooking from, this edition is introduced by none other than M.F.K. Fisher herself, who declares that: "I know now as well as I did thirty years ago that Alice B. Toklas' Cook Book would feed my soul abundantly if I could find no other nourishment, just as it would make me smile in the midst of sadness, and feel braver if I risked faltering. It is a good book, 'abundantly satisfying, imagination being as lively as it is....'" The lady has spoken.
