This is a collection of interviews with M. F. K. Fisher, the American essayist best known for her writing on food and appetite. Across the conversations she returns to gastronomy, aging, the differences between men and women, and her own working life, changing her mind as she goes. It suits readers who already know her essays and want her voice unedited, and those interested in how a major prose stylist thinks aloud. As an interview volume it stands apart from her own books: it shows the person behind the writing rather than polished essays.

This book collects interviews with M. F. K. Fisher, one of the most prominent prose writers in the United States. In the conversations, she often returns to the complexities of her life.
The interviews cover her uncompromising and frequently contradictory attitudes toward the luxuries and necessities of gastronomy. They explore the idea that sensual appreciation, in all aspects of life, is or should be necessary. Other recurring subjects include aging, the differences between men and women, and her relationship to her own work, which she describes with precision and a selective memory.
The pieces show Fisher in motion: speaking, changing her mind at will, and using fierce wit. She is unable to tolerate simplistic strategies of thinking and living.
