1.Garlic and Sapphires by: Ruth Reichl March 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.74 You Save: £2.25 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.88
When Ruth Reichl arrives in New York from Los Angeles, the restaurants are expecting her! She is told by a woman on the plane that there is a photo of her by the till in every restaurant she is likely to review. A plan is needed! So Reichl develops a series of disguises so that she can eat incognito. (She then eats at the same restaurant with no disguise and notes the different way she is treated!) I loved every minute I spent reading this book. Reichl obviously adores food and this is really apparent. She writes about food in a way that is totally lacking in pomposity (other food critics could take a note from her book.) The book explores not only a series of gorgeous meals, and a few not so gorgeous ones! But also the ... Read More:

5.Endless Feasts (Modern Library Food) by: Ruth Reichl, Gourmet Magazine August 14, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.76
This book is a delight, both in the writing and in the physical manifestation. A collection of magazine pieces about food and travel may likely seem a slight confection, a tuft of candyfloss maybe for undemanding summer appetites, but not so here, for the magazine in question is 'Gourmet'. This is rich stuff, full of wonderful descriptive passages, as you'd expect looking at a list of writers including M.F.K. Fisher, Madhur Jaffrey, Claudia Roden, E. Annie Proulx, Paul Theroux, and Elizabeth David. I owe my exposure to this book to a very good American friend who sent it to me as a birthday present. My deep thanks to her for I know I will read it again many times, though perhaps not as in the first instance, cover to cover in a single session, for that ... Read More:

6.Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by: Ruth Reichl May 02, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.43
I first read Ruth Reichl's 'Garlic and Sapphires' and loved her writing style and passion for food so much that I bought her earlier books! I wasn't disappointed. This is another beautiful memoir describing Reichl's early years and experiences with food. It will be a while before I forget Alice's apple dumplings, her mother's totally orange Halloween dinner or her travels through Tunisia. The book also includes a smattering of recipes. Absolutely delicious, a must for foodies!
