TENTH MUSE, THE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　From the legendary editor who helped shape modern cookbook
publishing-one of the food world’s most admired figures-comes this
evocative and inspiring memoir.
　　Living in Paris after World War II, Jones broke free of bland
American food and reveled in everyday French culinary delights. On
returning to the States she published Julia Child’s Mastering the
Art of French Cooking. The rest is publishing and gastronomic
history. A new world now opened up to Jones as she discovered, with
her husband Evan, the delights of American food, publishing some of
the premier culinary luminaries of the twentieth century: from
Julia Child, James Beard, and M.F.K. Fisher to Claudia Roden, Edna
Lewis, and Lidia Bastianich. Here also are fifty of Jones’s
favorite recipes collected over a lifetime of cooking-each with its
own story and special tips. The Tenth Muse is an absolutely
charming memoir by a woman who was present at the creation of the
American food revolution and played a pivotal role in shaping
it.

It! (for children); and The Book of New New England Cookery. She
also collaborated with Angus Cameron on The L.L. Bean Game and Fish
Cookbook. Recently, she has contributed to Vogue, Saveur, and
