OP: Provence, 1970
Clarkson Potter Publishers, New York, 2013. Hardcover. Near Fine. First printing.
The late 1960s through the 1970s was a period of great creative culinary foment in the United States. Editors like Judith Jones were steering the zeitgeist behind the scenes, while authors like Richard Olney, MFK Fisher, James Beard, and Julia Child were making their marks as the bold and charismatic figureheads of the movement. And they all happened to be in Provence—eating, drinking, cooking, and gossiping—together in 1970.
Written by MFK Fisher’s great-nephew Luke Barr, and drawing from the letters and journals of all those present, Provence, 1970 (2013) paints a vivid picture of this exceptional, charged moment in time. Captivating reading for those already familiar with these powerhouses but also the perfect introduction for anyone interested in the 20th century culinary revolution.
