| Tender at the Bone : Growing Up at the Table New York Times restaurant critic Ruth Reichl shares lessons learned at the hands (and kitchen counters) of family members and friends throughout her life, from growing up with her taste-blind mother to the comfort of cream puffs while away at boarding school on "Mars" (Montreal seemed just as far away) to her most memorable meal, taken on a mountainside in Greece. |

| Her stories shine with the voices and recipes of those she has encountered on the way,
such as her Aunt Birdie's maid and companion, Alice, who first taught Reichl both the
power of cooking and how to make perfect apple dumplings; the family's mysterious
patrician housekeeper, Mrs. Peavey, who always remembered to make extra pastry for the
beef Wellington; Serafina, the college roommate with whom Reichl explored a time of
protest and political and personal discovery; and, finally, cookbook author Marion
Cunningham, who, after tales of her midlife struggles and transformation, gave Reichl the
strength to overcome her own anxieties. Reichl's wry and gentle humor pervades the book, and makes readers feel as if they're right at the table, laughing at one great story after another (and delighting in a gourmet meal at the same time, of course). Reichl's narrative of a life lived and remembered through the palate will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. Order this Book |
