We had a great time last month and decided to read Ruth Reichl’s Delicious for our next get together. She’s a former restaurant critic and most of use have already read (and loved) her three memoirs. This is her first novel:
Billie Breslin has traveled far from her home in California to take a job at Delicious!, New York’s most iconic food magazine. Away from her family, particularly her older sister, Genie, Billie feels like a fish out of water—until she is welcomed by the magazine’s colorful staff. She is also seduced by the vibrant downtown food scene, especially by Fontanari’s, the famous Italian food shop where she works on weekends. Then Delicious! is abruptly shut down, but Billie agrees to stay on in the empty office, maintaining the hotline for reader complaints in order to pay her bills.
Sounds interesting, right? Read as much as you can and join us for snacks and conversation at Sweet Bar Bakery.
