Extravagant Gifts.


For M.F.K Fisher, a good holiday was characterized by “lots of books for Christmas, stockings, candy, and nice gloves.”

I can’t help you find the best assortment of candy and charms, but if you’re still shopping for books, you’re in luck. Here, some ideas for the hungry-thirsty-globetrotting (M.F.K. Fisher loving) readers on your list:

{The biography about the hidden life of the woman who was considered “the finest writer on food now using the English language.”}

{A beautiful pocketbook sized collection of lesser-known Fisher works -- it makes a great hostess gift!}

{New in June 2012, a gorgeous hardcover book with lots of photographs!}


If you’d like a signed copy, email me at writtenbyaz@gmail.com to buy one directly from me. If you like, I’ll even wrap and mail it to the recipient. Or, buy these books in store (from your local bookseller!) or online.

May you have the happiest of holidays and thank you for supporting books, bookstores, authors, and me!
xoxo

Anne

P.S. Looking to up your creative quotient in 2013? I’m teaching nonfiction book writing at Stanford this winter (it's online, there's no excuse not to sign up!) and an afternooncourse on food writing in at Book Passage in Marin on January 12th. Share! Sign up! Write!

Musings on Wine and Other Libations

 

Out now! M.F.K. Fisher: Musings on Wine and Other Libations

One of the greatest 20th century food writers, M.F.K. Fisher has graced us with a legendary body of work that contains many references to wine. Her passionate declarations of the pleasures of good food and drink were culture changing, and she elevated the status of wine in the United States. But a collection of Fisher's writings about wine and other libations has never before been published in one place until now. 

The pieces and excerpts in this engaging anthology -- edited by acclaimed biographer Anne Zimmerman -- span Fisher's notable writing career, from her indulgent, wine-drinking days in 1930s France to her years as a gastronomic grande dame living in California in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. 

"M.F.K. Fisher is the best kind of wine writer. Not only does she make you more knowledgeable about and interested in wine, she makes you want to drink it."

Buy it today and read it curled up with a glass of something fabulous.
