Almost every person has something secret he likes to eat.— M.F.K. Fisher

Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was a preeminent American food writer. She was also a founder of the Napa Valley Wine Library. She wrote some 27 books, including a translation of The Physiology of Taste by Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, an authoritative classic about eating as a sensory experience. Two volumes of her journals and correspondence came out shortly before her death in 1992, Stay Me, Oh Comfort Me: Journals and Stories, 1933-1941.
