(*NEW ARRIVAL*) M.F.K. Fisher. How to Cook a Wolf

Jacket. Watrime Edition. Cleveland: World Publishing, [1944].

Written to inspire courage in those daunted by wartimes shortages, How to Cook a Wolf continues to rally cooks during times of plenty, reminding them that providing sustenance requires more than putting food on the table.

M. F. K. Fisher knew that the last thing hungry people needed were hints on cutting back and making do. Instead, she gives her readers license to dream, to experiment, to construct adventurous and delicious meals as a bulwark against a dreary, meager present. Her fine prose provides reason in itself to draw our chairs close to the hearth; we can still enjoy her company and her exhortations to celebrate life by eating well.

Heavy chipping to jacket extremities, with small pieces lacking here and there, thus good only, but increasingly scarce. Owner's name and date of 1945 written neatly on front free endpaper.
