  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Oct-06-2009

  • Entirely satisfactory!

  • Utterly contrived, badly written, self-righteous hypocrisy ... with recipes
  • After reading Tender at the Bone, I was looking forward to more of Ruth Reichl. Garlic and Sapphires was not only a disappointment, it was as if a completely different person had written it. It is...

  • Sure she can cook...just don't marry her
  • While the restaurant adventures in Comfort Me With Apples were fun, and the recipes enticing, this book merely proves that Ruth Reichl should have quit while she was ahead. Tender at the Bone was...

  • I am woman, see me pour

  • The movie was fun, with the best parts more about Julia than Julie. The book was more "Julie" than about Julia, and, yes, she comes across as self-absorbed and whiny. But I found her take on...
