Synopsis
The iconoclastic restaurant critic for The New York Times writes a memoir of growing up eating and cooking. Born in Manhattan, raised in Connecticut, Reichl had an upper-class upbringing that included trips to Paris, then became a commune-dweller after graduating from college. This chronicle, which includes recipes, ends in the 1970s.

Industry Reviews
"[W]hile all good food writers are humorous--it's a feature of the genre--few are so riotously, effortlessly entertaining as Ruth Reichl....Readers will not be surprised to learn that I laughed a lot while reading her sometimes achingly funny book. But I was also moved, and drew a sharp breath of sympathy from time to time at the candor of some of the tougher passages. She is honest about a wide range of subjects..."
New York Times Book Review - Paul Levy (03/08/1998)
"Ms. Reichl writes with such simplicity--even the recipes included in this memoir are stripped down to their bare goodness--that it's easy to read along as if we were being sold yet another inevitable-seeming success story. But do not be fooled by the modesty of its style. This is a book about a sturdy child who by overcoming many obstacles and dangers creates herself as a distinguished woman of her own world. Hooray!"
New York Times - Ruth Adams Bronz (03/11/1998)
"[A] savory memoir of her apprentice years....A perfectly balanced stew of memories: not too sweet, not too tart."
Holt
"[A] graceful book."
Lehmann-Haupt
