This is the third R. Reichl book I've read, and I've enjoyed them all. This was a fun read (though I wonder why I, a non-cook, always torment myself with such wonderful descriptions of food that I'll never cook myself or have the opportunity to order at a fancy restaurant!!) You can almost see/taste the food as she describes it, in this entertaining book where she puts on disguises and critiques restaurants, publishing her results in the NY Times. As a bonus, she includes lots of scrumptious recipes -- I may even attempt the delicious-sounding cheesecake one myself!
