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 where Tender at the Bone leaves off, Comfort Me with Apples 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.

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 Times has said, “While all good food critics are humorous .. few are so riotously, effortlessly entertaining as Ruth Reichl.” In Comfort Me with Apples, Reichl once again demonstrates her inimitable ability to combine food writing, humor, and memoir into an art form.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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"

ruth reichl has an interesting, if somewhat depressed, view of life. i much preferred her later book, Garlic and Sapphires, which was very charming while being offbeat. unfortunately, for Comfort Me with Apples, the author narrated, which only compounded the depressive feel of the book. Skip Comfort Me with Apples, and go directly to Garlic and Sapphires, which is wonderfully written and narrated.

honest but somewhat odd memoir, narration awful

Love the way Ms. Reichl writes about food. She describes the eating experience in such a tangible way, it is amazing. Wish the unabridged version was available.

Wonderful listen!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I did all of Ruth's others. Very well written with love, Passion and wit. She has inspired me to heat up the kitchen after a long time away!

I’m on my 3rd book by Ruth, she’s soothing, relaxed about culinary and I appreciate it, and is pretty honest it seems. It’s a perfect book to listen to while doing chores or driving. Just what I wanted.

I've read Tender at the Bone and then listened to Garlic and Sapphires, so I found Comfort Me with Apples to be a great bridge between the two stories. I find Reichl's life to be fascinating as it's totally different than mine. Reichl's ability to retell the stories of her colorful life have me hoping there's another book to come! I know it can be hit or miss when an author decides to also be a narrator, but by the end of this book I felt like Reichl most likely chose to narrate because her this story is so personal and revelatory.

I read some of the reviews that said this book is depressing. I'd chose to describe it as painfully honest. Reichl doesn't sugar coat her choices or the challenges life has thrown her way. I find her honesty refreshing.

An enjoyable listen!

What a beautiful journey with Ruth Reichl. Unpretentious honesty woven with love and heartbreak and food....... I could not imagine a more complete book. I am enamored.

I was very disappointed in this book. It was not as good as Tender to the Bone, which was wonderful! I may not buy any more of her books.
