Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition; Later. Ix, 253 pp. Octavo. Black cloth with white title. Copyright 1937 but this is the later "War Edition" so printed after Dec 1941. Black cloth covers are worn at extremities, spine tips rubbed, some pale "splash" marks on front cover and spine. Title a bit faded, fro…nt board a little forward. Interior clean and unmarked, bit toned. A good copy of this lovely book. Fisher describes feasts from many tables and many times, some her own. In typical fashion, she describes a French man who has captured and is cleaning his own snails, leaving them to starve in an aquarium until they are ready to eat: "For a day or two more they stayed, bottoms up, on the glass. Then they began to drop off. Nights were punctuated by the thumps of snails fainting in their little Black Hole. We lost sleep, feeling very sick for them.The last scene I caught through the dining room door: Plume and Doudouce bent gravely over a lighted table, pouring the hot sauce into each up-ended snail shell. Their hands trembled very slightly and Plume's tongue stuck out." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 253 pages.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Not A Cookery Book, But A Book For Everyone Who Enjoys Eating FISHER, M.F.K. [253] pp. Hamish Hamilton, Publisher 8 1/4" x 5 7/8" 1937 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.
