Ruth Reichl prefaces this book by telling the reader that she comes from a family of storytellers. Just as her family enjoyed embellishing their stories, she has added her own enhancements to this memoir. And an enjoyable one it is. For the food lover, the book is filled with stories of unforgettable meals in foreign lands and on American soil. The writer's personal angst in dealing with her mother's manic depression and her father's codependency adds yet another layer to this memoir.
