Description

An ebook bundle featuring Tender at the Bone and Comfort Me with Apples, two delicious memoirs from "one of the world's leading food writers" (Chicago Sun-Times) that chronicle her riotous journey into the culinary world

Tender at the Bone:

"An absolute delight to read... How lucky we are that [Reichl] had the courage to follow her appetite." -- Newsday

At an early age, Ruth Reichl discovered that "food could be a way of making sense of the world." Beginning with her mother, the notorious food-poisoner known as the Queen of Mold, Reichl introduces us to the fascinating characters who shaped her world and tastes, from the gourmand Monsieur du Croix, who served Reichl her first foie gras, to those at her 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.

Comfort Me with Apples:

"[Ruth] Reichl writes with gusto, and her story has all the ingredients of a modern fairy tale: hard work, weird food, and endless curiosity." -- The New Yorker

Comfort Me with Apples picks up Reichl's story in 1978, when she puts down her chef's toque and embarks on a career as a restaurant critic. Her pursuit of good food and good company leads her to New York and China, France and Los Angeles, and her stories of cooking and dining with world-famous chefs range from the madcap to the sublime. Through it all, Reichl makes each and every course a hilarious and instructive occasion for novices and experts alike, told in a style so honest and warm that readers will feel they are enjoying a conversation over a meal with a friend.
