"Truly fantastic book. Never have I thought about hunger in such philosophical and emotional terms. The prose is fantasic and the snippets of her life instill the overwhelming need to either cook for someone you love or take your closest friends out to an amazing meal..."
"This series of essays was interesting, and full of rich descriptions. My complaint is in the disjointedness of the essays (I mean within a single piece, not the cohesiveness of the collection) and to be honest, most of them were quite depressing. Still, I'm hoping to read at least one more of her books."
"I devoured this book like one of the many deliciously described meals in its pages. So much more than a food-related biography, "The Gastronomical Me" takes you through some of the formative moments in MFK Fisher's life and the food that accompanied them. Fisher's writing is refreshingly cool and smooth, sneaking up on you with its oh-too-true portrait of complex feelings. I enjoyed it very much."
