I love reading about food and one of my favourite \'bedtime\' reading food books is \'With bold knife and fork\' MFK Fisher, a wonderful feisty American woman originally writing for the New Yorker. Her insights into the history of American tastes and cooking are fascinating. A great read and some great recipes. I am really looking forward to seeing what y\’all come up with.

I love her writing, she reminds of an American version of Elizabeth David (an inspirational British cookery writer of about the same period). I really enjoy reading about Fishers childhood in the mid west and of her early travels through Europe when America and England were just awakening to all the vibrant flavours of \'foreign\' food.

Fisher is a famous writer for us, and also spent a very interesting life. Iris Murdoch should have known her! Just cookery books, I am afraid.
