Synopsis
Ruth Reichl spills the beans (and the sushi, salads, and steak) about her years as a restaurant critic, first at the LA Times, then at the New York Times. Famous for her absurd (but useful) disguises, Reichl spent years on the Manhattan restaurant circuit, awarding and subtracting stars as she searched for a truly good meal. Besides her experiences at the table, Reichl also writes about the gossip and infighting at the Times and about the effects her crazy job had on her personal life.

Industry Reviews
"Tasty revelations...Spicy and sweet by turns, with crackle and bite throughout."
Kirkus (02/01/2005)

"[A] vivacious, fascinating memoir....Reichl's ability to experience meals in such a dramatic way brings an infections passion to her memoir."
Publishers Weekly (02/14/2005)

"Her book would make a terrific romantic comedy, if Lubitsch or Billy Wilder were alive....[T]he book is wonderfully revealing about the double consciousness of the critic. Although pain-giving herself..., she is sensitive about criticism of her own criticism."
New Yorker - Adam Gopnik (04/03/2005)

"[Reichl has] a genuinely infections enthusiasm....Reichl's other great strength is her breadth of knowledge--she's not some dilettante in pursuit of expense-account jollies, but a real food journalist who...has had a front-row seat for some of the greatest American culinary developments over the last 30 years....GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES pulls back the curtain on Reichl's six-year tenure at the Times, and it's never less than fascinating."
New York Times Book Review (04/10/2005)

"Reichl seems to have led a charmed professional life, but she's so expansive and funny you forgive her."
Entertainment Weekly (04/08/2005)
