Eat My Globe

M.F.K. Fisher: The Founding Mother of the American Food Memoir


Listen Later

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will share the story of MFK Fisher, a wonderful food writer who lived from 1908 to 1992. She was one of the most famous food writers in the U.S. and arguably the person who established the genre of food memoirs. Without her and her books – such as "How to Cook a Wolf," "Serve it Forth," and "An Alphabet for Gourmets" – one could argue that we would not have works like "Kitchen Confidential" or "Eat, Pray, Love."
