What a wonderful book! Look at that cover, that is the author at a young age. Sweet!

This book was such a breezy easy read. I absolutely adored the stories of Ruth Reichl's wide and varied life - and that's just up until about age 30! I envied every step she took, every pot she stirred. A fun journey that shaped her relationships - both with others and with food. Ruth's mom is hilarious. All the women, really, such characters!

Garlic and Sapphires was also a good read, but this one just so much better because it was so filled with personal moments.

Plus, the recipes she includes in this book all sound so tantalizingly tempting! Copy them all down and make each one, starting today!
