If there’s one food writer I want to write like, it’d have to be Ruth Reichl. She has the amazing ability to draw readers into her life and her anecdotes are so interesting.
Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table takes us through her childhood to early adulthood and all the experiences she had had with food which has helped shaped her career.
She skilfully weaves the theme of food around her life as we learn of how she had to cope with her mother’s maniac depressive tendencies, her three years of boarding school in France, her dealing with the awkward teenage and college years, her hippie lifestyle in the 60s and 70s, and her first marriage.
Another delectable read by Reichl. Please taste it if you come across it!
