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.

Publisher's Note
GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is Ruth Reichl's riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.

What is even more remarkable about Reichl's spy games is that as she takes on these various disguises, she finds herself changed not just superficially, but in character as well. She gives a remarkable account of how one's outer appearance can very much influence one's inner character, expectations, and appetites.

As she writes, "Every restaurant is a theater . . . even the modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while." GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is a reflection on personal identity and role playing in the decadent, epicurean theaters of the restaurant world.

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