El arte de comer

M.F.K. Fisher revolutionized the way cooking and food was written, to the point that she is considered the first modern food writer. Her first book, Serve Yourself Immediately, was published in 1937 and positioned her as a leading food writer thanks to her personal combination of memoirs, travel, and cooking. This successful reputation was reinforced by her later writings, dedicated to the periods she spent in Provence. The art of eating brings together the author's best writings. It is not a simple recipe book, nor a dissertation on food, it is a mixture of both things treated with a very personal style that will not leave the reader indifferent. A book that collects deep reflections on life based on food, the act of eating, and that brings together more than sixty recipes commented with sociological, historical, philosophical references and humor.
