Documentary Film: THE ART OF EATING, The Life of M.F.K. Fisher 09/21/24. 4pm & 7pm
When Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher wrote about food, she also wrote about eccentricity, intimacy, and desire, about change, endurance, and survival. M.F.K. Fisher’s work laid the foundation of modern literary food writing. The Art of Eating: The Life of M.F.K. Fisher traces the remarkable life of this vibrant, sensual writer, and explores the impact of her ideas on food and its meaning in our lives.
M.F. K. Fisher was called the “Poet of the Appetites.” She was best known for her gastronomic writings in hundreds of magazine articles and thirty-three books including “The Art of Eating," “Consider the Oyster," “How to Cook a Wolf,” “An Alphabet for Gourmets,” “Map of Another Town,” “With Bold Knife and Fork,” and “The Story of Wine in California.” Fisher used food as a cultural metaphor rather than limiting her writing to specific dishes.
She lived for many years in the Napa Valley where she helped start the Napa Valley Wine Library and then moved to The Last House in Glen Ellen, California.
