Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hard to put down, and made me want to cook!This book is about living with a mom who happens to have a mental illness, bipolar disorder. It is also about being of Jewish heritage, living, studying, getting married, and above all about cooking. The author writes clearly, humorously, and interestingly, making it a difficult book to put down. It actually renewed my interest in cooking again....a little! Rating: - An appropriate titleThe title gives me goosebumps when I think of how accurate it is to describe Ruth's upbringing. With humor and just enough detail, she describes how she becomes the woman who will eventually become an influential food critic (arguably, most influential). Sheila Ellenbogen Rating: - Might make a cook out of a noncookI used to say that my ideal job would be to be a restaurant critic...but not to gain weight! I've gone on to fulfill other dreams instead, but reading Ruth's books allows me to live this particular dream vicariously. For anyone who grew up in the 60s/70s this particular book provides a lot of nostalgia as well. I'm not a cook, but I admit that the recipes sprinkled throughout here make me want to cook. We discussed Tender at the Bone at our recent book club meeting. One member DID make the brownie recipe here which is wonderful...and the book triggered one of our liveliest discussions ever. about the foods our moms made. Kathie Hightower, co-author of Help! I'm a Military Spouse -- I Get a Life Too! 2d Edition. Rating: - Warm and EngagingThis is one of those books that will be a permanent addition to the bookcase. Ruth opened my eyes to the fact I barely notice half of what I eat. I feel as if I've been missing out on a huge part of my life and the joy that food can bring. Her stories will make you laugh and at the end of the book, you'll just feel better than before you read it.
