Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl

5.0

Reichl's endearing memoir about growing up with a manic-depressive mother who was anything BUT an excellent cook. Her mother was frequently serving up food that the health department would shut down any restaurant for: food past its expiration date, unrefridgerated meat...

Reichl recounts how she survived this food-trauma and became the Editor-in-Chief of Gourmet magazine.
