A first edition, first printing hardcover in fine condition. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked; boards are equally clean. My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life by Ruth Reichl. Random House, 2015. In 2009, Condé Nast abruptly closed Gourmet magazine, where Reichl had served as editor-in-chief for a decade. Already one of the country's most celebrated food writers, she retreated to her Hudson Valley farmhouse and turned to the kitchen. That the book's presentation is intentionally quiet and unshowy is entirely the point. Ruth Reichl is a six-time James Beard Award winner and recipient of the 2024 James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award.
