I'm reading Save Me the Plums by Ruth Reichl. She became the food editor for Gourmet & this book is her 'food gourmet memoir" If you like cooking & how flavors come together, this book is fascinating. Got it from library. There's a few special recipes in here, but only a few.
If you like Save Me the Plums, read some of her other books. They're all good. The one about her mother is rather short, so go for another one.


I wish Gourmet Magazine had not lost its focus and gone all political/earth friendly/sustain this/don't do that. It was such an elegant magazine about cooking.
I was a subscriber right up to the bitter end, but the changes that took place were unfortunate.
