Editorial Review:
In Serve It Forth, her first book, M. F. K. Fisher takes readers on an animated journey through culinary history, beginning with the honey-loving Greeks and the immoderate Romans. Fisher recalls a hunt for snails and truffles with one of the last adepts in that art and recounts how Catherine de Medici, lonely for home cooking, touched off a culinary revolution by bringing Italian chefs to France. Each essay makes clear the absolute firmness of Fisher's taste--contrarian and unique--and her skill at stirring memory and imagination into a potent brew.

Rating: - One of the Great Writers of the 20th Century
This first book, a collection of essays by Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher, offers many examples of her brilliance. Especially wonderful are "The Standing and the Waiting" and "Cesar."
