When Ruth Reichl was young, she realized that "food could be a way of making sense of the world. If you watched people as they ate, you could find out who they were." Her exquisitely written memoir, Tender at the Bone, is the account of a life shaped, elevated, and characterized in equal measure by a love of well-told stories, fascinating characters, and a passion for food.Reichl introduces us to the intriguing people who shaped her world and her tastes, starting with her mother, the infamous food poisoner known as the Queen of Mold. These people ranged from the gourmand Monsieur du Croix, who served Reichl her first soufflé, to those at her politically correct Berkeley table who supported the organic food revolution in the 1970s.Spiced with Reichl's infectious humor and sprinkled with her favorite recipes, Tender at the Bone is a witty and compelling chronicle of a culinary sensualist's coming-of-age.
