Luke Barr
A Travel + Leisure editor and great-nephew of esteemed American food writer M.F.K. Fisher, Luke Barr has delved into culinary history, combing through his great-aunt’s diaries and journals to write Provence 1970: M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, James Beard, and The Reinvention of American Taste. Recreating the time in which these three influential culinary icons gathered together to talk about food, culture, and their combined future, Barr compiles a riveting and dramatic account that still resonates in today's food-centric world.
