I'm sorry to say I didn't love this as much as Garlic and Sapphires. But a memoir speaks about things that are important to the writer, and some of the names and events that she finds important weren't that exciting to me. Other readers might feel differently, especially if they ever read the magazine (Gourmet) or knew anything about the people involved.
Still, I enjoyed it. it's honest and never forced, with great writing as I expect from her. And her trip to France on a shoestring (for a magazine article) was a delight. "Worth the price of the book" as Jennifer Reece would say.
