Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir is by Ruth Reichl. A charming nonfiction memoir by the former editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine - at one time America's premier food magazine. Reichl went from the New York Times to Gourmet at a time when Conde Nast ruled the magazine world. This memoir follows her life from the time she was hired until Gourmet went under. This book provides a window into the world of New York restaurants, food writing, and the magazine business. Her chapter covering 9/11 is worth the price of of book.
Ratings: 9th grade - 8 out of 10.
