Comfort Me with Apples: More Adventures at the Table

This beautiful first edition is in fine condition. The pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked throughout, presenting as fresh and unread. The dust jacket is well kept, red boards, and gilt lettering along the spine of the book. Ruth Reichl recounts her transformation from chef to food writer, a process that led her through restaurants from Bangkok to Paris to Los Angeles and brought lessons in life, love, and food. Her anecdotes from a summer lunch with M.F.K. Fisher, a mad dash through the produce market with Wolfgang Puck, and a garlic feast with Alice Waters are priceless. Ruth Reichl demonstrates her inimitable ability to combine food writing, humor, and memoir into an art form. The included recipes are superb.
