My Kitchen Year by Ruth Reichl
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The beloved food critic and author of Tender at the Bone explores her path to healing through 136 delectable recipes."No one writes as warmly and engagingly about the all-important intersection of food, life, love, and loss. This book is a lyrical and deeply intimate journey told through recipes, as only Ruth can do."--Alice Waters
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Los Angeles Times, NPR, Men's Journal, BookPage, Booklist, Publishers Weekly
In the fall of 2009, the food world was rocked when Gourmet magazine was abruptly shuttered by its parent company. No one was more stunned by this unexpected turn of events than its beloved editor in chief, Ruth Reichl, who suddenly faced an uncertain professional future. As she struggled to process what had seemed unthinkable, Reichl turned to the one place that had always provided sanctuary: the kitchen.
My Kitchen Year follows the change of seasons--and Reichl's emotions--as she slowly heals through the simple pleasures of cooking. Each dish Reichl prepares for herself--and for her family and friends--represents a life's passion for food: a blistering ma po tofu that shakes Reichl out of the blues; a decadent grilled cheese sandwich that accompanies a rare sighting in the woods around her home; a rhubarb sundae that signals the arrival of spring.
Part cookbook, part memoir, part paean to the household gods, My Kitchen Year reveals a refreshingly vulnerable side of the world's most famous food editor as she shares treasured recipes to be returned to again and again and again.
Ruth Reichl is the bestselling author of Tender at the Bone, Comfort Me with Apples, and Delicious!, as well as the memoirs Tender at the Bone and Comfort Me with Apples. Her spouse, kid, and two cats reside with her in New York City.
