More quotes by M. F. K. Fisher
For me, a plain baked potato is the most delicious one....It is soothing and enough.
M. F. K. Fisher
When a man is small, he loves and hates food with a ferocity which soon dims. At six years old his very bowels will heave when such a dish as creamed carrots or cold tapioca appear before him.
M. F. K. Fisher
For anyone addicted to reading commonplace books . . . finding a good new one is much like enduring a familiar recurrence of malaria, with fever, fits of shaking, strange dreams . . . .
M. F. K. Fisher
It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without soup or bread in it
M. F. K. Fisher
Most bereaved souls crave nourishment more tangible than prayers: they want a steak.
M. F. K. Fisher
old age is more bearable if it can be helped by an early acceptance of being loved and of loving.
M. F. K. Fisher
It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others.
M. F. K. Fisher
The oyster leads a dreadful but exciting life. Indeed, his chance to live at all is slim, and if he should survive the arrows of his own outrageous fortune and in the two weeks of his carefree youth find a clean smooth place to fix on, the years afterwards are full of stress, passion, and danger.
M. F. K. Fisher
Brioches are a light, pale yellow, faintly sweet kind of muffin with a characteristic blob on top, rather like a mushroom just pushing crookedly through the ground. Once eaten in Paris, they never taste as good anywhere else.
M. F. K. Fisher
I live with carpe diem engraved on my heart.
M. F. K. Fisher
There is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel, that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.
M. F. K. Fisher
... living out of sight of any shore does rich and powerfully strange things to humans.
M. F. K. Fisher
At present, I myself do not know of any local witches or warlocks, but there are several people who seem to have an uncanny power over food.
M. F. K. Fisher
Write one good clean sentence and put a period at the end of it. Then write another one.
M. F. K. Fisher
Cooks must feed their egos as well as their customers.
M. F. K. Fisher
There is a communication of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk. And that is my answer when people ask me: Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love.
M. F. K. Fisher
It is easy to think of potatoes, and fortunately for men who have not much money it is easy to think of them with a certain safety. Potatoes are one of the last things to disappear, in times of war, which is probably why they should not be forgotten in times of peace.
M. F. K. Fisher
There are may of us who cannot but feel dismal about the future of various cultures. Often it is hard not to agree that we are becoming culinary nitwits, dependent upon fast foods and mass kitchens and megavitamins for our basically rotten nourishment.
M. F. K. Fisher
Almost every person has something secret he likes to eat.
M. F. K. Fisher
Good wine, well drunk, can lend majesty to the human spirit.
