description M. F. K. Fisher’s food memoirs have been interpreted as works that possess literary status. Fisher’s 1942 book How to Cook a Wolf, a collection of essays about food rationing during World War II, became popular again during the 2020 lockdown because it provided a timely reflection on the domestic kitchen as a shelter in uncertain times. Thisarticle includes an overview of food writing as a genre and considers the relevance of Fisher’s book through the concepts of healthism and hypervigilant subject, which areinvolved in contemporary discourses on eating and the human body. My analysis aims to demonstrate that How to Cook a Wolf invites its readers to reconcile with their appetite and their corporeality and to chase the new perils away with the delight and soothing ability to eat amid periods of crisis. Las autobiografías gastronómicas de M. F. K. Fisher (1908-1992) han sido reconocidas como obras con estatus literario. Su libro How to Cook a Wolf de 1942, una colección de ensayos sobre el racionamiento en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, volvió a ser popular durante el confinamiento de 2020, pues ofrecía una reflexión vigente sobre la cocina doméstica como un refugio en periodos de incertidumbre. Este artículo presenta un panorama del género escritura gastronómica, y examina la relevancia del libro de Fisher con base en los conceptos de salutismo y sujeto hipervigilante, los cuales influyen en los discursos contemporáneos sobre cuerpo y alimentación. Este análisis sostiene que How to Cook a Wolf invita a los lectores a reconciliarse con su apetito y con su corporalidad, y a ahuyentar los nuevos peligros con el sosiego y el deleite de comer en medio de periodos de crisis.
