And, alongside that interest, an accompanying appetite for smart, well-crafted culinary memoirs by female trailblazers in food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly 70 years earlier, there was Alice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Alice B. Toklas was asked to write a memoir, she initially refused. Instead, she wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Alice B. Toklas Cook Book\u003c\/em\u003e, a sharply written, deliciously rich cookbook memorializing meals and recipes shared by Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wilder, Matisse, and Picasso--and of course by Alice and Gertrude themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile \u003cem\u003eThe Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas\u003c\/em\u003e--penned by Gertrude Stein--adds vivid detail to Alice's life, this cookbook paints a richer, more joyous depiction: a celebration of a lifetime in pursuit of culinary delights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this cookbook, Alice supplies recipes inspired by her travels, accompanied by amusing tales of her and Gertrude's lives together. In \"Murder in the Kitchen,\" Alice describes the first carp she killed, after which she immediately lit up a cigarette and waited for the police to come and haul her away; in \"Dishes for Artists,\" she describes her hunt for the perfect recipe to fit Picasso's peculiar diet; and, of course, in \"Recipes from Friends,\" she provides the recipe for \"Haschich Fudge,\" which she notes may often be accompanied by \"ecstatic reveries and extensions of one's personality on several simultaneous planes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an updated look and feel, and a heartwarming introduction from \u003cem\u003eGourmet\u003c\/em\u003e's famed Editor-in-Chief Ruth Reichl, this much-loved, culinary classic is sure to resonate with food lovers and literary folk alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 18, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52457731064115,"sku":"9780063043800","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z2dZU0U3ZGkwRktJaHR1RWRiUkZyUT09_fe3aa958-50dd-4286-a55f-a66dc367b94d.webp?v=1759172162","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-alice-b-toklas-cook-book-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
