I love Ruth Reichl's memoirs and this latest might be one of my favorites. The story of how she became the editor of Gourmet only to see it closed on her watch provides a lot of great backstory to the book she wrote afterwards, My Kitchen Year, which is an wonderful collection of essays and recipes and a testament to the healing power of cooking. Save Me the Plums is full of mouth-watering descriptions of food but also considers the economic, social, and personal impacts of food, publishing, and jumping into a job you didn't know you wanted and don't feel qualified for, but turning it into something amazing.
