Gizmos for Cooks

If you’re a foodie like me, sometimes it can be difficult to explain the unparalleled delight a delicious meal brings to you. Not if you’re Ruth Reichl, of course. In her touching biography, “Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table,” the famed restaurant critic and editor of Gourmet Magazine beautifully describes how she discovered her own passion for food as a child and how her ever-evolving palate has influenced both her personal and professional lives. With humor and humility, Reichl draws readers into her world and takes them on an epicurean adventure like no other. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy reading about good food as much as eating it.
