Critiques

Reichl, a longtime food critic and prolific archivist of memorable meal menus, has written a few memoirs by now, and this is an older one. Still, I went back to this title because her newer writing was so engrossing and relatable even for a non-cook. A rich history of living in a communal Berkeley house and trying to start a family were covered with relevant recipes intermixed. I don’t believe this title is still in print, but if you can track down a copy, it’s well worth the trouble.

This book feels like a fantasy, a fairy-tale where the main character gets all her wishes fulfilled. That wasn't what I was expecting. but it has definitely stayed with me much longer than I expected as well, and I love the dreaminess of it. I guess it must be nice to be Stella and have all your wishes magically come true thanks to Paris and friends with money -- oh, and slender, gamin, beauty doesn't hurt at all -- but at least her adventures were interesting and full of passionate connoisseurs of art and literature and food.

Ruth Reichl is one of those famous people that I wish I knew in real life so we could just hang out. She seems no nice and fun and the way she writes about food makes me think maybe I could actually, willingly, eat pig brains or rabbits cooked in their own blood if only I was dining with Ruth.

This particular memoir is about her unexpected stint as editor in chief at Gourmet magazine and I liked it as much as her other books.

I’m not sure if this book is really for everyone but if you enjoy food writing or her, I think this is a winner.… (plus d'informations)
