Here Let Us Feast is M.F.K. Fisher's 1946 anthology of gastronomic writing, reissued with a new introduction by Betty Fussell. Fisher excerpts banquet scenes from British and American literature and adds her own commentary on feasting, gluttony and what a nation's cooking says about its life. It suits readers who want food writing as literature rather than recipes, and it holds up against modern food anthologies because Fisher's prose and her choices of passages carry it.

Here Let Us Feast: A Book of Banquets is an anthology of gastronomic writing selected by M.F.K. Fisher, with her commentary. It was first published in 1946. This paperback edition includes an introduction by Betty Fussell.
Fisher excerpts descriptions of bountiful meals from classic works of British and American literature. She weaves them into a discussion of feasting. She also traces gluttony through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, and holds that a nation's gastronomy charts the story of its life.
