“I first came to MFK Fisher as an eater, not a writer – assured by my most food-savvy friend that Fisher was the all-time doyenne of culinary lit. But beyond the arch recipes in the second edition of Fisher’s treatise on eating through austerity, How To Cook A Wolf, lies an insight into the way writers relate to their own work which makes it an essential volume for anyone who writes, regardless of their interest in a recipe for sludge (take all the vegetable and meat scraps you have; boil; add “whole-grain cereal”; serve to someone you dislike).”
