M.F.K. Fisher among the Pots and Pans

a retrospective of Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher´s life as it unfolded in those homey settings--from Fisher´s childhood in Whittier, California, to the kitchens of Dijon, where she developed her taste for French foods and wines; from the idyllic kitchen at Le Paquis to the isolation of her home in Hemet, California; and finally to her last days in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

Fisher among the Pots and Pans provides a deeply personal glimpse of a woman who continues to mystify even as she commands our attention
