Not that Alice - or that other one either. I'm talking about Alice B. Toklas (on the right, next to her partner, Gertrude Stein), patron saint of the irreverent gourmet woman. Anybody with the faintest interest in food writing should read: Stein was the famous writer, but although Toklas stood (happily) in her shadow, she was a master in her own right. She takes us along as the two traipse up the coast of France, hold salons in their Paris apartment, travel the U.S. on Stein's book tours and survive wartime rationing. Stein held court; Toklas cooked.
