Description

A poignant and hilarious memoir about Ruth Reichl's time as editor in chief of Gourmet magazine. Ruth Reichl recounts her journey from a young food writer to the top position at America's oldest epicurean magazine, despite having no inclination to be anyone's boss. Along the way, she shares stories of legendary chefs, idiosyncratic writers, and a colorful group of editors who transformed Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This memoir is a personal journey of self-discovery and growth, as Reichl navigates the changing world of food culture and the rise of the farm-to-table movement. With recipes included, Save Me the Plums offers a unique glimpse into the golden age of print media and the last gasp before the Internet turned the magazine world upside down.
