The Tenth Muse by Judith Jones

The Tenth Muse by Judith Jones

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 I, 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.

Judith Jones at Alfred Knopf has long been one of America's most influential cookbook editors. Her authors include Julia Child, James Beard, Jacques Pepin, Mahdur Jaffrey, and a host of others. She is coauthor of The L.L. Bean Game and Fish Cookbook and (with husband Evan) of The Book of Bread. She lives in New York City and East Hardwick, Vermont. Evan Jones was one of the country's leading writers about cooking in general, and American cooking in particular. He was author of American Food and The World of Cheese and a contributor to Food and Wine, Connoisseur, and Gourmet.
