Toklas cultivated her own literary presence, most notably with "The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook," which blended recipes with anecdotes from their storied shared life. Their Paris salon welcomed pivotal modernist figures such as Picasso, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald, solidifying their position as cultural arbiters of the time.
