In Serve It Forth, her first book, M.
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.
