And, alongside that interest, an accompanying appetite for smart, well-crafted culinary memoirs by female trailblazers in food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly 70 years earlier, there was Alice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Alice B. Toklaswas asked to write a memoir, she initially refused. Instead, she wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Alice B.
