Trans. by M.F.K. Fisher. Illus. by Wayne Thiebaud, incl. color plates of paintings and drawings in black & white. 12×9, blue cloth, jacket. First Edition Thus. Washington, DC: Counterpoint, [1994].

A delightful and hilarious classic about the joys of the table,The Physiology of Tasteis the most famous book about food ever written. First published in France in 1825 and continuously in print ever since, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarins masterpiece is a historical, philosophical, and epicurean collection of recipes, reflections, and anecdotes on everything and anything gastronomical.

Brillat-Savarinwho famously stated Tell me what you eat and I shall tell you what you areshrewdly expounds upon culinary matters that still resonate today, from the rise of the destination restaurant to matters of diet and weight, and in M. F. K. Fisher, whose commentary is both brilliant and amusing, he has an editor with a sensitivity and wit to match his own.

A beautifully illustrated edition of Brillat-Savarin\’s classic 19th century book on gastronomy and its deep pleasures. Sunning to jacket spine, else very good.
