Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl
4.0
3.5 stars
Honesty compels me to admit that I am fascinated with Ruth Reichl. She writes about food in a manner that makes reading almost as pleasing as eating it. Additionally, she writes about her life in a way that completely captures my attention, not to mention a piece of my heart.
Backwards, I have read her latter memoirs first, so this beginning installment was filling in pieces to a picture I am already familiar with.
I found so many things fascinating: her relationship with her mother, her first forays into cooking, her forced exile in a French speaking boarding school, her rebellious (at least to my puritanical upbringing) high school years, and her first marriage. How do these things result in the Ruth Reichl as she is now?
I cannot wait to see.
