Delicious! A
Novel
By Ruth Reichl
400
pages, Random House, 2014
I have mentioned previously that I am a great fan
of Ruth Reichl’s work. I was deeply moved by her first memoir, Tender at the Bone, and very much
enjoyed Garlic and Sapphires, in
which she reveals her backstage adventures as a food critic. I like her as an
author and as a narrator, the way her voice strikes a balance between kindness
and no-nonsense. I have tucked away her other two memoirs for a rainy day, and
look forward to reading them.
