Industry Reviews
"Reichl...maintains a lovely sense of propriety, of amour propre, and a full-bodied sense of humor....Two courses of Reichl's literary cooking will leave still-ravenous readers hoping for a third serving soon."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (04/13/2001)
"[G]rindingly self-absorbed....Reichl can turn a lovely phrase..., and she can also swap hackneyed comparisons with the rest of them...."
Kirkus Reviews (02/15/2001)
"So many memoirs annoy by telling either too much or too little. This one tells just enough. Ms. Reichl generously shares her vulnerabilities and her insecurities, her every human foible, the voices in her head. But she spares us the irrelevant."
New York Times - Jenny Lyn Bader (05/02/2001)
