{"product_id":"the-alice-b-toklas-cook-book-1","title":"The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book","description":"“A book of character, fine food and tasty human observation.\" —The New Yorker\nLong before Julia Child discovered French cooking, Alice B. Toklas was sampling local dishes, collecting recipes, and cooking for the writers, artists, and expats who lived in Paris between the wars. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wilder, Matisse, and Picasso shared meals at the home she kept with Gertrude Stein, who famously memorialized her in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.\nThe Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, however, is her true memoir: a collection of traditional French recipes that predates Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Toklas supplies familiar recipes such as coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and boeuf bourguignon, along with what is perhaps the earliest instructions for haschich fudge (“which anyone could whip up on a rainy day\"), and she entertains with fascinating memories of Paris—Toklas' home for most of her life—and of rural France, Spain, and America.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0061995363\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0061995363.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Toklas, Alice B.|Fisher, M.F.K.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
