Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise

Author of Save Me the PlumsÂ Ruth Reichlâ€™s iconic, bestselling memoir of her time as an undercover restaurant critic for The New York Times

Ruth Reichl, world-renowned food critic and former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, knows a thing or two about food. She also knows that as the most important food critic in the country, you need to be anonymous when reviewing some of the most high-profile establishments in the biggest restaurant town in the worldâ€”a charge she took very seriously, taking on the guise of a series of eccentric personalities. In Garlic and Sapphires, Reichl reveals the comic absurdity, artifice, and excellence to be found in the sumptuously appointed stages of the epicurean world and gives usâ€”along with some of her favorite recipes and reviewsâ€”her remarkable reflections on how oneâ€™s outer appearance can influence oneâ€™s inner character, expectations, and appetites, not to mention the quality of service one receives.

â€œ[A] wonderful book, which is funnyâ€”at times laugh-out-loud funnyâ€”and smart and wise.â€ â€”Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
