New Center LIVE! Presents Ruth Reichl: Delicious!
The New
Center for Arts & Culture
presents a discussion with legendary food writer, Ruth Reichl, to talk about
restaurants, artisanal shops, food magazines, and her extraordinary books,
including her most recent leap into fiction writing, with novel, Delicious!
Like her
best-selling memoirs, including Tender at the Bone, Comfort Me with
Apples, and Garlic and Sapphires, Reichl’s novel illuminates the
role of food in our lives, not merely as sustenance, but as a medium through
which we define ourselves and our relationships with others—family, friends,
colleagues, lovers.
Ruth Reichl was the Editor in Chief of Gourmet Magazine for ten years until its
closing in 2009. Before that, she was the restaurant critic of the The New
York Times and both the restaurant critic and food editor of the Los
Angeles Times. She is also the editor of The Modern Library Food Series,
which currently includes ten books.
