"[Fisher] writes as one intelligent adult to another—practically, often profoundly, and always beautifully. If eating means more to you than steak drowned in bottled sauces, then she's what you've been looking for" (The San Francisco Examiner). Clifton Fadiman wrote, "Mrs. Fisher is the finest writer on food now using the English language. With Bold Knife and Fork is a delightful book, every line of which throws new light on man's oldest activities."
