M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, and Alice Waters: Celebrating the Pleasures of the Table by Joan Reardon

lindseysparks's review

3.0

I adore Julia Child and therefore loved the sections about her, but I just can't seem to connect with Fisher whatsoever. It took me weeks to get through her sections! I just don't get her appeal. Alice Waters is somewhere in the middle. She's interesting, but not entirely likeable. She's a little too California for me. This book's premise is also just a little weird. I feel like Reardon just threw them together because she liked them all and they have vague ties, but the same could be said of nearly any three chefs/food writers. Odd.
