She writes in "The Gastronomical Me" 'to be happy you mist have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruites of your passion, and learned your place in the world.' This passage, taken from the philospher, Santayana couldn't be truer. But I would add that MFK Fisher had a true 'talent for living' - both statements will one day adorn my tombstone with great pride.

@bghrynips Yes, that's such a wonderful quote. I just was reminded of it again in a "scrapbook" I found, published in the '90s, all about MFK Fisher. That quote was on the last page, along with a beautiful picture of her in the last years of her life.

Thank you so much for posting this video of the glorious Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher. I have most of her books, the one I treasure the most is "How to Cook a Wolf." What a remarkable woman, thanks again!

She should be on a stamp. Apart from the power of her writing, she was one of the great beauties of the twentieth century - just look at her in the clip.

Where can I find the rest of this video? I adore her writing so much and I'd love to learn even more about her. Thanks for posting!

I got it from Direct Cinema Limited, P.O. Box 10003, Santa Monica, CA 90410. Seems like I located it on the internet initially a couple of years ago - Good Luck.

Thank you so much for posting this! I've read most of her works and love "The Gastronomical Me" and the theme she returned to so often and wrote of with such eloquence: the joys of dining alone and I emphasize the word dining here. I'm so happy to see her here! A national treasure she was. Well ahead of her time.

Wonderful! She expresses my relationship with food and cooking better than I could myself!
