outspoken disapproval of garlic presses, which they both regarded as making the extracted juice taste acrid. Teaching and writing about food gradually supplanted music as Field's main career, and he gave his last concert in 1964. He moved his family to New York, where he held his cooking classes in his apartment. He died there of a heart attack in 1971, at the age of 56, leaving his widow and a 20-year-old son. Cooking with Michael Field was posthumously published in 1978, and some of his books were in print long after his death, including All Manner of Food, originally published in 1970 and reissued in 1982.
