Ratings: 2 for novel readers, 5 for lovers of food, recipes, cooks, cookbooks.
I have to give this book two different ratings. If you love wonderful food, grand dining, baking on your own, reading recipe books, you will love this book. Ruth Reichl is a famous chef, creator of recipes, editor of food books and magazines, manager of her own restaurants. There are many lovely descriptions of savory and interesting foods, and a weak mystery bound up in the novel.
If you are just looking for a novel, this one is ok. It is too long, far too much extraneous material and a weak mystery included. It needed an editor but I doubt that anyone was strong enough to stand up to the great Reichl. Personally, I give it a 2. But, I have read other books by Reichl (cookbooks) and enjoyed them so a plowed through this entire book.
