P.S. I just finished listening to Ruth Reichl’s memoir — will probably write a longer review in an upcoming post on audiobooks, but had to say that I very much enjoyed this. I found it a little slow to start but the more you get to know Ruth, the more you love her. She is thoughtful, wide-eyed, down-to-earth, and absolutely spectacular when writing about food. There is nothing particularly dramatic or intense about the book: it is instead an artful recounting of her career at the helm of Gourmet magazine (RIP), and it touches on life lessons, leadership, and gratitude. But mainly, the food writing is excellent. More of what I’m reading and listening to here. What about you? Did you make your way through any of my summer reading picks?
P.P.S. High-end looks for less.
P.P.P.S. A love letter to my husband.
