Originally written in the depths of World War II and then revised in the shadow of the Cold War, How to Cook a Wolf is at turns both haunting and ennobling--a study in finding joy and delectation in a world being deprived of both. Rather than succumb to the predations of the wolf--and the wolf is hunger, and the wolf is adversity and scarcity--M.F.K. Fisher enjoins her readers to raise a bulwark against precarity and to find deliciousness in unaccustomed places. And even when the table can only be sparely supplied, there will at least be the feast of writing, memories, and wisdom that this classic provides.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM.F.K.
