The Physiology of Taste, Translated and Annotated by M.F.K. Fisher
I was never big on Brillat-Savarin. He always seemed pompous and didn’t teach me about food. That being said, this new translation does bring it to life in a way I didn’t even feel when reading it in French. In any case, it gives insight into life in the early nineteenth century. Copyright 1825 (first translated edition 1949; this edition, 1986), softcover, no color, 443 pages, condition excellent (someone wrote over the back cover; there are light scratches)
