Welcome to Litsy!

Oooh, #pricedrop! And I wanted to read this next!

#24in48 #hour30challenge - I picked up this copy at a used book sale quite a few years ago. I know I would love it, but on the shelf it sits...and sits. One day!! 🍴📚

Trying to decide if I want to keep these chunksters or give them away. These three books are a combined 2,439 pages!

#TBRtemptation post 3! I like this cover very much as well. 50 years later & still considered one of the greatest writers on food, many think far surpassing the likes of Bourdain & Kitchen Confidential. Considering it has a 4.33 rating with over 5,000 ratings, that says something. There are 5 books in this: Consider the Oyster, The Gastronomical Me, Serve It Forth, How To Cook A Wolf, & An Alphabet for Gourmets. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

So I know this is cheating for #foodiefiction as these books are non-fiction but it was the closest thing I had on hand. I originally discovered M.F.K. Fisher thorough my interest in travel writing and continued reading her other works that focused more on "the art of eating".#ReadJanuary

Spending some quality time with M. F. K. Fisher (and some lentils) as I work on a post about her writing

"The world's his oyster, with an 'R' in every month."

Today's topic for #augustphotochallenge is peach coloured books. I don't really have one that's peach coloured so here's a peach (not looking very peachy) on the cover of a book. The painting used is by Johann Wilhelm Preyer, a German painter who seems to have been fond of painting fruits! #bookphotochallenge #augustofpages

M.F.K. Fisher died on this date, June 22, in 1992. At that time, I was an intense reader of her works. When I told hubby I had just saw her obit, he said that he had heard about it on the radio and that he guessed "she wrote a lot about food". She was a pioneer in the genre and so good at it too.

Another for International Women's Day. Anything by M. F. K. Fisher. I discovered her when I was in grad school and have loved food writing ever since
