Out of the Kitchen
by Jeannette Ferrary

Jeannette Ferrary, a food writer for The New York Times and author of M.F.K. Fisher and Me, tells the story of her life as it relates to food. This is the journey from a girl's ambivalence about food ("women's work") to a career immersed in cuisine. Here are the changes she went through over feminism, career, food, marriage, divorce, childraising, work, and play. All along the way, food played an important part of her life, as heritage and legacy, as symbol, as nourishment, and as pleasure. The book contains many recipes as well as portraits of many of America's most famous chefs.

M.F.K. Fisher and Me: A Memoir of Food and Friendship
By Jeannette Ferrary

Fisher has been long hailed for revolutionizing the way Americans think about food and has been called America's "Grande dame of food". This book is a series of vivid recollections of Fisher, and Ferrary's friendship with the elusive and elegant Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher. Ferrary writes of Fisher, "She's good at falling in love, in all kinds of ways with all kinds of things: people, ideas, moments. That's what her writing is about:
enthusiasms." No longer is she M.F.K. Fisher, the famous and charismatic food writer, but in this book she is simply Mary Frances, the person beneath the remarkable literary figure. This is more than a biography of a
dynamic writer; it is a tribute to a friendship, a love letter and thank-you note from Ferrary to Fisher.
