The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl My rating: 4 of 5 stars The story was great but the descriptions of cooking and the food eaten was outstanding. Obviously Ruth Reichl knows food and this first novel shows that she can translate food into words that make the reader almost taste what she is describing. View all my reviews
