Cooking for
Mr. Latte by Amanda
Hesser wet my appetite for literature that tells stories through food. It isn’t
enough that most of my day is consumed by thinking about food and wine
creations and that my husband and I talk about the details of flavor to ad
nauseam for others…. Now my bookshelves could easily be mistaken for a cookbook
collection. It is almost a prerequisite that each chapter closes with a recipe
to feed my hungry soul.
My latest
obsession is Ruth Reichl. I stumbled upon her while trying to find a Young
Adult foodie book for my middle school cooking class. Who knew she had such an
extensive collection! I began with Tender at the Bone, an entertaining
coming of age book about her childhood and the food that acted as mileposts for
her young life. Today I am going to the library to check out Garlic and
Sapphires (love her titles!), more stories from her time as a food critic
for the New York Times. If you want a quick fix of Ruth, check out her blog http://www.ruthreichl.com/words.html!
