message: According to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, the etymology for 'toke' indicates that it comes from the Spanish word 'toque', meaning 'touch'. It has nothing to do with Toklas.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.55.218 (talk) 09:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that this article is not doing Alice B. Toklas enough justice. Toklas gave up most of her life to take care of Stein, beside being her lover for nearly 40 years. This in a time when homosexuality was not something that was readily discussed, let alone practised openly. After Stein died, Toklas wrote (cook)books (sometimes containing reminiscences of her and Stein). 
Strangely enough there is not a section on further reading. So I would recommend:
* Toklas, Alice B., Murder in kitchen, Penguin Books, 2011 (to be released), 112p, 
* Toklas, Alice B., The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, Serif, 2004, 304p,  or HarperPerennial, 2010, 320p,  
* Simon, Linda, The Biography of Alice B. Toklas, University of Nebraska Press, 1991, 427p,  
* Linzie, Anna, The True Story of Alice B. Toklas: A Study of Three Autobiographies, University of Iowa Press, 2006, 230p,  
* Diana Souhami, Gertrude and Alice: Gertrude Stein and Alice B.Toklas, 304p, Rivers Oram Press/Pandora List, 1992, 
The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook and What Is Remembered is often available from second hand book dealers (200+ pages, including photographs) and has been reprinted.
When Toklas died, nearly twenty years after Stein, she was buried in the same grave as Stein. It is speculated that this was against the wishes of Stein as Stein did not want to share the headstone, probably the reason why Toklas's name is on the back of the headstone. --JHvW (talk) 18:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing information 

message: Can anyone confirm whether "Haschigh Fudge" or "Haschich Fudge" is the original spelling in The Cookbook? I've seen both online, but I haven't been able to find the original text.--Slowlikemolasses (talk) 21:25, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Recipe 

message: In the sentence, "Toklas met Gertrude Stein in Paris on September 8, 1907, the day she arrived there from San Francisco after the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake," who is the antecedent of 'she'?  The reader can't tell which one arrived  in 1907.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.51.226 (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Can we put this in the legacy section? By Brendan Behan, who also lived in Paris in the 1950s:
:I absolutely must decline
:To dance in the streets with Gertrude Stein
:And as for Alice B. Toklas
:I'd rather Shakespeare and a great big box of chocolades
