Remembrance of Things Paris: Sixty Years of Writing from Gourmet
I Love Ruth Reichl! I love her autobiographies! I loved her term as editor for Gourmet.
If I had a "Bucket List", Paris, its bistro's, cafes and wonderful culture would be at the top of my list.
So, are you wondering why I have two stars posted? Because, if it were not for Ruth Ruth, I would have given it one. This book was, for the most part, a huge disappointment. The earlier writers for Gourmet were listless... more like food reporters. Dull, blah, blah, blah. Maybe, for its time, this was excitement and what the world expected of Parisian cuisine. I don't know.
It seemed to take forever to get through some of the essays.
But, again, in fairness to Ruth, if you like food history and want to take a walk in the past, you may find this of interest. For those who like to cook, there are some recipes. One pitfall I admit to, was thinking in terms of comparison. Anyway, the book goes on my shelf with a sigh of completion. Hopefully, a friend will want to borrow it.
