Cooking as a "language" is international (you don't have to speak the same language in order to produce results…) and writing about food offers equal opportunity to reach/influence a lot of people. Adolescent me was introduced to M.F.K. Fisher and immediately took to her writing like a fish to swimming. During summer vacation in France already discovered a delicious triple cream cheese, not realizing at the time it was named after that famous gourmand Brillat-Savarin who lived during the French revolution (and came to America for a visit). M.F.K Fischer's 1949 translation of his life's masterpiece became famous: Physiology of Taste. I'd read Alice B. Toklas back in Amsterdam, found her recipes inspiring. Not until I landed in New York did I read Julia Child, mostly watched her Sunday nights on television! Inspiring improvisational cooking… and that s what today's show is all about!
