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.
The Gastronomical Me
In 1929, a newly married M.F.K. Fisher said goodbye to a milquetoast American culinary upbringing and sailed with her husband to Dijon, where she tasted real French cooking for the first time. "The Gastronomical Me" is a chronicle of her passionate embrace of a whole new way of eating, drinking, and celebrating the senses. As she recounts memorable meals shared with an assortment of eccentric and fascinating characters, set against a backdrop of mounting pre-war tensions, we witness the formation not only of her taste but of her character and her prodigious talent.
