HTML:Provence, 1970 is about a singular historic moment. In the winter of that year, more or less coincidentally, the iconic culinary figures James Beard, M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, Richard Olney, Simone Beck, and Judith Jones found themselves together in the South of France. They cooked and ate, talked and argued, about the future of food in America, the meaning of taste, and the limits of snobbery. Without quite realizing it, they were shaping todayâ??s tastes and culture, the way we eat now. The conversations among this group were chronicled by M.F.K. Fisher in journals and lettersâ??some of which were later discovered by Luke Barr, her great-nephew. In Provence, 1970, he captures this seminal season, set against a stunning backdrop in cinematic scopeâ??complete with gossip, drama, and contemporary r Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Barr explains by relating the last time they were all together in Provence, what each of them did to introduce and promote good cooking in America. And we are all the descendants of that turning point in American culinary history when the tide turned and good cooking became a little less French and a little more American. As Alice Waters writes, "Luke Barr has inherited the clear and inimitable voice of his great-aunt M.F.K. Fisher, and deftly portrays a crucial turning point in the history of food in America with humor, intimacy, and deep perception. Provence 1970 is beautifully written and totally fascinating." I'll drink to that. ( )
