Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir

I really didn't know much about Ruth Reichl. I knew of her, and love the way she writes about food. In this book, she explains how she got the job of editor-in-chief at Gourmet magazine. She is so passionate about food, and has been since she was a young girl. It doesn't matter that the magazine is now defunct, she explains what it was in all it's glory. I like Ruth more now, knowing this part of her journey. My personal opinion is that the magazine might still be around today if just some of the outrageous spending had been limited. But that is my opinion based on Ruth's tales, so who am I to know?
