It's hard to believe, but I clearly remember reading this piece in 1981. I thought the Annie Liebovitz photo was stunning, and then the writing itself drew me in. I had never heard of MFK Fisher, so I was doubly intrigued. At the time, I was in the Navy, living overseas, and when my Ms magazine landed in the communal mailbox, I remember people looking at me as if I were 1) more avant garde and 2) weirder than they already imagined. LOL.

MFK Fisher’s Time Life Cookbook about Provincial France was among my first cookbooks as a newlywed. I still have it today and continue to reference it. She may have written it for the money but it was a wonderful early introduction for me to food outside of my personal experience.
