false 94079 8 A collection of essays by one of America's best known food writers, that are often more autobiographical or historical than anecdotal musings on food preparation and consumption. The book includes culinary advice to World War II housewives plagued by food shortages, portraits of family members and friends (with all their idiosyncrasies) and notes on her studies at the University of Dijon, in France. Through each story she weaves her love of food and passion for cooking, and illustrates that our three basic needs as human beings--love, food and security--are so intermingled that it is difficult to think of one without the others. The book won the 1989 James Beard Cookbook Award. 2481812 1963 The Art of Eating total:537|5:302|4:176|3:48|2:9|1:2| 537 2378 1122 106 5 3 false false Fri Jun 20 13:32:52 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 13:45:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Thu May 31 22:16:09 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 02 23:10:28 -0700 2007 Kitchen Confidential (even though i enjoyed it) because MFK was writing about o...more...]]> 5 2 true false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Sun Mar 30 12:16:28 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 12:23:21 -0700 2008 It is about life and food.
