Resumen del Editor
New York Times Best Seller
Trailblazing food writer and beloved restaurant critic Ruth Reichl took the job (and the risk) of a lifetime when she entered the high-stakes world of magazine publishing. Now, for the first time, she chronicles her groundbreaking tenure as editor in chief of Gourmet.
“A must for any food lover... Reichl is a warm, intimate writer. She peels back the curtain to a glamorous time of magazine-making. You’ll tear through this memoir.” [Refinery29 (The Best New Books of April 2019)]
Named one of the best books of the year by Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Town & Country.
When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no?
This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat. Listeners will meet legendary chefs like David Chang and Eric Ripert, idiosyncratic writers like David Foster Wallace, and a colorful group of editors and art directors who, under Reichl’s leadership, transformed stately Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This was the golden age of print media - the last spendthrift gasp before the internet turned the magazine world upside down.
Complete with recipes, Save Me the Plums is a personal journey of a woman coming to terms with being in charge and making a mark, following a passion and holding on to her dreams - even when she ends up in a place she never expected to be.
Praise for Save Me the Plums:
“Poignant and hilarious...simply delicious... Each serving of magazine folklore is worth savoring. In fact, Reichl’s story is juicier than a Peter Luger porterhouse. Dig in.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“In this smart, touching, and dishy memoir...Ruth Reichl recalls her years at the helm of Gourmet magazine with clear eyes, a sense of humor, and some very appealing recipes.” [Town & Country (The Must-Read Books of Spring 2019)]
“If you haven’t picked up food writing queen Ruth Reichl’s new book, Save Me the Plums, I highly recommend you fix that problem.... Reichl is in top form and ready to dish, with every chapter seeming like a dedicated behind-the-scenes documentary on its own.” (Soleil Ho, San Francisco Chronicle)
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Like her lively writing, Ruth Reichl's performance is inviting and engaging.... Her fans will be happy to discover that, once again, she narrates her own work, and new listeners are in for a treat. Her clear affection for her co-workers, her passion for food and food writing, and her anger and dismay over the magazine's abrupt closure resonate in her natural-sounding narration.... A must-listen for anyone interested in publishing, writing, and, of course, food." (AudioFile Magazine)
“No one writes about food like Ruth Reichl. She also happens to be a mesmerizing storyteller. I consider this book essential nourishment.” (Nigella Lawson)
“A delicious insider account of the gritty, glamorous world of food culture.” (Vanity Fair)

But one morning Corinna receives a threatening note saying "The wages of sin is death" and finds a syringe in her cat's paw. A blue-faced junkie has collapsed in the dark alley and a mysterious man with beautiful eyes appears with a plan for Corinna and her bread. Then it is Goths, dead drug addicts, witchcraft, a homeless boy and a missing girl and it seems she will never get those muffins cooked in time.

Andrew Friedman goes inside Chez Panisse and other Bay Area restaurants to show how the politically charged backdrop of Berkeley helped spark this new profession; into the historically underrated community of Los Angeles chefs, including a young Wolfgang Puck; and into the clash of cultures between established French chefs in New York City and the American game changers.

It is also a love letter to South Boston and its vanishing culture, governed by Irish Catholic mothers and its own code of honor. Through her story, Lynch explores how the past - both what we strive to escape from and what we remain true to - can strengthen and expand who we are.

As she struggled to process what had seemed unthinkable, Reichl turned to the one place that had always provided sanctuary.

Historia
In the fall of 2009, the food world was rocked when Gourmet magazine was abruptly shuttered by its parent company. No one was more stunned by this unexpected turn of events than its beloved editor in chief, Ruth Reichl, who suddenly faced an uncertain professional future. As she struggled to process what had seemed unthinkable, Reichl turned to the one place that had always provided sanctuary. "I did what I always do when I'm confused, lonely, or frightened," she writes. "I disappeared into the kitchen."

Like the savory, simple dishes she favored, M. F. K. Fisher's writing was often "short, stylish, concentrated in flavor, and varied in form", writes Joan Reardon in her introduction to this eclectic, lively collection. Magazine writing launched and helped to sustain Fisher's long, illustrious career and in these 57 pieces, we experience again the inimitable voice of the woman widely known to have elevated food writing to a literary art.

Historia
Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent 20 fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Above all she sought family, particularly the thrill and the magnificence of the one from her childhood that, in her adult years, eluded her. Hamilton’s ease and comfort in a kitchen were instilled in her at an early age when her parents hosted grand parties, often for more than 100 friends and neighbors. The smells of spit-roasted lamb, apple wood smoke, and rosemary garlic marinade became necessary to her.

Fisher, Julia Child, Richard Olney, Simone Beck, and Judith Jones found themselves together in the South of France. They cooked and ate, talked and argued, about the future of food in America, the meaning of taste, and the limits of snobbery.

Excellent reader, excellent book
I knew within five minutes of starting this book it was a keeper and I would buzz right through it. Ruth Reichl is a terrific narrator and storyteller and I enjoyed this book from start to finish and then purchased a hard copy. It's about her experiences editing GOURMET Magazine - I must admit I never subscribed although my sister did and I always loved to look at those magazines. Ironically, once I did finally become a better and more eager cook late in life my favorite recipes were always the ones from GOURMET on Epicurious.com. If you like to cook, or like to eat, or even if you just like an interesting well narrated story you will enjoy Save Me the Plums (and even if I didn't like Ruth Reichl I would have been interested in this book because I knew right away it resonated with the William Carlos Williams plums poems - which turn out to be right at the front of the book!)

Ruth has a remarkable way with words. She is a great story teller. I used to subscribe to Gourmet and was sad to see it end. Still not sure why.

A foodie adventure
I absolutely loved this book. I felt as if I was working at Gourmet too and who doesnt love a memoir read by the author. I especially enjoyed Ruth's description of food, and the few recipes were a plus!

Wonderful!
What a wonderful food journey. Ruth’s superb writing made me taste and smell all the wonderful food she was privileged to eat. It’s a shame Conde Nqste put the almighty dollar before classicism. It’s even a bigger shame that we as a society rely solely on the internet for our knowledge.

Ruth tells the Gourmet love story we’ve all longed to hear
Even though it’s been 10 years since we lost Gourmet, the sting is still real... Ruth lovingly winds us through her love of the magazine before during and after she was there.
A glorious listen, as I feel all of her books are.
Thank you for sharing your insight into the magazine and your life. Yes, definitely worth listening to. Enjoy!

A True Homage to the Joys of Food
Ruth Riehl has the ability to describe a food, a scene or a person to the point that you feel you are meeting them for the first time. Here writing is as delicious asthe foods she savors. All I wanted to do was to rush to the kitchen and cook up something that honored her gusto! It is also an homage to the people who flavor our lives- the friends and family that make life sweet.
