Picking up where \u003ci\u003eTender at the Bone\u003c\/i\u003e leaves off, \u003cb\u003eComfort Me with Apples\u003c\/b\u003e recounts Reichl's transformation from chef to food writer, a process that led her through restaurants from Bangkok to Paris to Los Angeles and brought lessons in life, love, and food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an apprenticeship by turns delightful and daunting, one told in the most winning and engaging of voices.  Reichl's anecdotes from a summer lunch with M.F.K. Fisher, a mad dash through the produce market with Wolfgang Puck, and a garlic feast with Alice Waters are priceless.  She is unafraid - even eager - to poke holes in the pretensions of food critics, making each meal a hilarious and instructive occasion for novices and experts alike.  \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e has said, \"While all good food critics are humorous .. few are so riotously, effortlessly entertaining as Ruth Reichl.\"  In \u003cb\u003eComfort Me with Apples\u003c\/b\u003e, Reichl once again demonstrates her inimitable ability to combine food writing, humor, and memoir into an art form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179027120368,"sku":"2940169641486","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169641486_p0.jpg?v=1763689794","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169641486","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
