A memoir by the legendary cookbook editor who was present at the creation of the American food revolution and played a pivotal role in shaping it •  “Engrossing. . . . The Tenth Muse lets you pull up a chair at the table where American gastronomic history took place.”—O, The Oprah Magazine 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. Also included are fifty of Jones’s favorite recipes collected over a lifetime of cooking-each with its own story and special tips.  “Lovely. . . . A rare glimpse into the roots of the modern culinary world.”—Chicago Tribune
