On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by chef, food writer and bestselling author, Ruth Reichl with her latest novel, The Paris Novel. Ruth is the former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, and previously served as restaurant critic for The New York Times, as well as food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. Her popular weekly food newsletter, La Briffe, is hosted on Substack, as is the podcast “Three Ingredients” she produces with Nancy Silverton and Laurie Ochoa. Ms. Reichl has also recently finished producing and starring in a documentary film, Food and Country, which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival and will have a theatrical release this summer. This year, the James Beard Foundation honored Ruth with their Lifetime Achievement Award.
