"Serve it Forth"



One of my favorite writers is MFK Fisher. I love her romance with food, cooking and “The Art of Eating.”

This is a quote from her book “Serve it Forth.”

“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women. As the years pass and fires cool, it can become unimportant to stay always on fair terms either with women or one’s fellows, but a wide and sensitive appreciation of fine flavours can still abide with us, to warm our hearts.”

I’m not ready to give up on fair terms with women and I always hope to give good dinners.

But I hope I am fortunate enough to have fine flavors always warm my heart.
