How To Cook A Wolf.
New York: Duell Sloan and Pearce 1942. Early printing of this classic work. Octavo original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To ___ ____ crossed out with my best wishes M.F.K. Fisher." Very good in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. Written to inspire courage in those daunted by wartimes shortages How to Cook a Wolf continues to rally cooks during times of plenty reminding them that providing sustenance requires more than putting food on the table. M. F. K. Fisher knew that the last thing hungry people needed were hints on cutting back and making do. Instead she gives her readers license to dream to experiment to construct adventurous and delicious meals as a bulwark against a dreary meager present. Her fine prose provides reason in itself to draw our chairs close to the hearth; we can still enjoy her company and her exhortations to celebrate life by eating well. "Fisher writes about fleeting tastes and feasts vividly excitingly sensuously exquisitely. There is almost a wicked thrill in following her uninhibited track through the glories of the good life" James Beard Duell, Sloan and Pearce hardcover books

Fisher whose wit and fulsome opinions on food and those who produce it comment upon it and consume it are as apt today as they were several decades ago when she composed them. Why did she choose food and hunger she was asked and she replied 'When I write about hunger I am really writing about love and the hunger for it and warmth and the love of it . . . and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied.' This is the stuff we need to hear and to hear again and again" Julia Child. The World Publishing Company hardcover books

Collection of 7 Typed Letters Signed "Mary Frances" "MFKFisher" "MFKF" to Maurice Gordon or his wife Dorothy with and enclosed recipe for Moroccan Chermoula

With an additional 1-p. letter of March 23 1984 in photocopy. 4to most 11 x 8-1/2 inches. Light creasing from prior folding. 7-1/2 pp. total typed on plain paper with some manuscript emendations and corrections with four envelopes. With an additional 1-p. letter of March 23 1984 in photocopy. 4to most 11 x 8-1/2 inches. A charming series of letters from the legendary food writer and memoirist M.F.K. Fisher 1908-1992 written from her final home in Glen Ellen to one Maurice Gordon a recently befriended fellow northern Californian who shared with Fisher a love of food and travel. The letters reveal Fisher's easy manner and proclivity for making friends even as she was progressively handicapped by the Parkinson's that afflicted her during the final ten years of her life.<br/><br/>Fisher and Gordon bonded over a mutual affection for Marseille "I am absolutely delighted to find anyone who loves Marseille . and I don't need to tell you that there are few of us for some really inexplicable reason". Fisher recounts some of her memories of Marseille a city whose seedy and tough reputation she celebrated in her writing. "Yes I do know the Frantel really pretty awful. But so is La Résidence! Wow! Once in about 1975 it had a big banner all across the front balcony saying there were apartments for rent so when my sister and I went back in '77 to stay for several months we though of it at once and went there from Beauvau. Of course the grumpy old concierge at the Beauvau was horrified when we asked him what he thought of our planning to stay there . but meanwhile we talked to the owner of La Résidence and he said that he had given up the idea of anything but transients. He was a really nice guy in a truly Marseille tough horrible way and obviously knew we would not fit in with his current clientèle . most of the people there were third-rate and rather exhausted old whores with a few young Pin-Ball Boys and potential pimps."<br/><br/>Gordon was a manufacturer of bar equipment; his business House of Stools 'N Bars Ltd. was in Millbrae CA. He delights Fisher with a gift of a bar stool: "The stool is absolutely perfect . handsome simple strong and just my height . I use it every day ." Maurice and his wife Dorothy eventually visited Fisher at her home in Sonoma and the friendship carries on with regular correspondence until the unexpected death of Maurice in December of 1984. At that point Fisher briefly continues the correspondence with Dorothy including in one of her letters a recipe for Moroccan chermoula a pungent herb sauce used as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables and meat. A final note from September 10 1991 is written by Fisher's assistant Margie Foster "Mary Frances is doing fairly well though her voice is almost completely gone now. She still enjoys listening to her visitors though".<br/><br/>Fisher's papers are held at Radcliffe College's Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America. Her letters are uncommon on the market. unknown books
