Ruth Reichl: Favorite Food Memoirs appeared on NPR last summer. In an interview with Steve Inskeep, the editor of Gourmet talked some of her favorite memoirs. Reichl summed up today's interest in food memoir: "People are writing their lives in food. They are actually looking at the world food-first." Here are books available on Foodsville that Ruth Reichl mentions.

In the 1970s, Calvin Trillin informed America that its most glorious food was not to be found at the pretentious restaurants he referred to generically as La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. With three hilarious books over the next two decades--"American Fried; Alice, Let's Eat;" and" Third Helpings"--he established himself as, in Craig Claiborne's phrase, "the Walt Whitman of American eats." Trillin's three comic masterpieces are now available in what Trillin calls "The Tummy Trilogy,"
