Reichel’s career is, obviously, next level so to call her memoirs relatable feels ridiculous - and to be clear there’s very few parts of her life I can directly relate to - but her writing shines through that disconnect. She’s a person who loves food, creativity, comfort, and isn’t perfect. It’s like talking to a close friend who has an extraordinary life. Loved this account of Gourmet and publishing life in New York in the 90-00s.
