Title: A Delight to be Savored
Review: I don't understand the customers that complained that Reichl should have kept her personal life out of this book. After all, it's a memoir, not the Good Housekeeping cookbook. Reichl understands what a major role food plays in our lives- associating an event with taste, smell, texture enhances memories of that event. Plus, Reichl's annecdotes are interesting and entertaining. Perhaps because she has not lived the most conventional life, she has irritated some of the readers who are put off by her two extramarital affairs. The recipes in this book sound very tempting, but I haven't had the chance to try them yet. I had been longing for a book that would suck me in enough to make me read it cover to cover without putting it down. Comfort Me with Apples accomplished this, and them made me immediately pick up and devour Tender to the Bone.
