Reviews
"Reichl writes with gusto, and her story has all the ingredients of a modern fairy tale: hard work, weird food, and endless curiosity." -The New Yorker "So many memoirs annoy by telling either too much or too little. This one tells just enough....The book reads not like life described but like life lived and then shaped....Each story affirms [Reichl's] desire to get beyond the surface, even as she celebrates its unlikely depths." -The New York Times "Magnificent, riotous, erotic...[Comfort Me with Apples] is an extended, lilting song about lovesickness and the restorative succor of good food....Two courses of Reichl's literary cooking will leave still-ravenous readers hoping for a third serving soon. [Rating:] A." -Entertainment Weekly

Synopsis
In Ruth Reichl's latest book - one that will delight her fans and convert those as yet uninitiated to her charming tales - the author brings to life her adventures in pursuit of good meals and good company. Picking up whereTender at the Boneleaves off,Comfort Me with Applesrecounts 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. It 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.The New York Timeshas said, "While all good food critics are humorous .. few are so riotously, effortlessly entertaining as Ruth Reichl." InComfort Me with Apples, Reichl once again demonstrates her inimitable ability to combine food writing, humor, and memoir into an art form.

    The product was exactly what I expected from the photos I saw on Ebay. The table was well packaged with foam pellets and styrofoam. There was no damage to the furniture that was shipped all the way from California. Nicely done.

    Packaged 5 bowl-plates excellently for their trip across the country. All 5 arrived completely unscathed & in perfect condition. Lil tricky to purchase despite the “make me an offer” button bc it kept automatically denying my offer (4x) but once seller realized I was buying all 5 of them, the offer was quickly accepted. Long-weekend delayed shipping 8days but once I messaged, it shipped the following day. The care with which they were packaged made it A+. So happy they were so carefully wrapped!

    I have purchased from this seller previously with no issues and appreciated their professional curtsy. So I decided to acquire 2 additional hand painted china plates that matched the ones I bought from this shop a few months ago. We negotiated a good price. The fragile plates arrived safely and well packaged. I would gladly purchase again from this seller and highly recommend them. They have some gorgeous items for sale.
