She also knows that as the most important food critic in the country, you need to be anonymous when reviewing some of the most high-profile establishments in the biggest restaurant town in the world--a charge she took very seriously, taking on the guise of a series of eccentric personalities. In <i>Garlic and Sapphires</i>, Reichl reveals the comic absurdity, artifice, and excellence to be found in the sumptuously appointed stages of the epicurean world and gives us--along with some of her favorite recipes and reviews--her remarkable reflections on how one's outer appearance can influence one's inner character, expectations, and appetites, not to mention the quality of service one receives. <p/><b> "[A] wonderful book, which is funny--at times laugh-out-loud funny--and smart and wise." --Jonathan Yardley, <i>The Washington Post</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This wonderful book is funny--at times laugh-out-loud funny--and smart and wise. --<b>The Washington Post <p/></b>Reichl is so gifted . . . the reader remains hungry for more. --<b>USA Today <p/></b>Expansive and funny. --<b>Entertainment Weekly</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ruth Reichl</b> is the bestselling author of the memoirs <i>Tender at the Bone, Comfort Me with Apples, Garlic and Sapphires, </i> and <i>For You, Mom, Finally;</i> the novel <i>Delicious!;</i> and, most recently, the cookbook <i>My Kitchen Year</i>.
