Pro Reviews: Tender at the Bone
[A] savory memoir of her apprentice years....A perfectly balanced stew of memories: not too sweet, not too tart.
'Tender at the Bone' is remarkably flat and underseasoned; reading it is like ordering mushroom soup at La Grenouille and watching as the chef heats up a can of Campbell's. Nothing is at stake here; Reichl piles anecdote upon anecdote with little supporting matter....Reichl's prose, so pointed in the Times, here seems charmless and banal, lacking both A.J. Liebling's cheerful, streaming ease and M.F.K. Fisher's rough-hewn good sense.
Publisher Notes: Tender at the Bone
- At an early age, Ruth Reichl discovered 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 deliciously crafted memoir, Tender at the Bone, is the story of a life determined, enhanced, and defined in equal measure by a passion for food, unforgettable people, and the love of tales well told. Beginning with Reichl's mother, the notorious food-poisoner known as the Queen of Mold, Reichl introduces us to the fascinating characters who shaped her world and her tastes, from the gourmand Monsieur du Croix, who served Reichl her first souffle, to those at her politically correct table in Berkeley who championed 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.
