SYNOPSIS
The Art of Eating: The Life of M.F.K. Fisher is a feature documentary about the exciting life and lasting impact of the intrepid food writer M.F.K. Fisher, who elevated cooking from a domestic chore to a critical study of life itself. Described by W.H. Auden as “the best prose writer in America,” the underrecognized Fisher introduced continental sensibilities to America’s burgeoning culinary world, while she transformed the traditional background figure of a woman in the kitchen into a living, breathing subject with dazzling ideas, passionate emotions, and insatiable appetites.

Alice Waters
“I’ve admired many women. They all have what Mary Frances had, which is a kind of confidence in herself to live life the way she wanted.”
Jacques Pepin
“Mary Frances was way ahead of her time, talking about food in a way that people had not done before.”
Anne Lamott
“Are you even here for your one precious life? And if so, what are we going to have for lunch?”
Ruth Reichl
“She’s telling you to pay attention to every sense and she does it in a very feminine way.”
Jerry Di Vecchio
“She has the gift of putting her feelings in your heart.”
Dominica Rice-Cisneros
“Her writing was beyond any one generation. For me it was eye opening.”
John Ash
“If it hadn’t been for James Beard and Julia Child and M.F.K. Fisher and Jacques Pepin, I don’t know where American Cuisine would be today.”
Tanya Holland
“When I think about M.F.K. Fisher, she’s the antithesis of what’s happening in the food world today, where everything is so competitive — it’s more impersonal.”
Katina Connaughton
“She had the courage to be her authentic self and to really blaze trails for other women.”
