In this delightful sequel to her bestseller Tender at the Bone, Ruth
Reichl returns with more tales of love, life, and marvelous meals.
Comfort Me with Apples picks up Reichl's story in 1978, when she puts
down her chef's toque and embarks on a career as a restaurant critic.
Her pursuit of good food and good company leads her to New York and
China, France and Los Angeles, and her stories of cooking and dining
with world-famous chefs range from the madcap to the sublime. Through it
all, Reichl makes each and every course a hilarious and instructive
occasion for novices and experts alike. She shares some of her favorite
recipes while also sharing the intimacies of her personal life in a
style so honest and warm that readers will feel they are enjoying a
conversation over a meal with a friend.
