Ruth Reichl, former restaurant critic and author, turns to fiction in her novel Delicious!
Young Billie lands a job at a famous food magazine in New York City, where she meets a cast of interesting co-workers. There’s a secret about the mansion where they work (in the library no less!), lots of descriptions of terrific food, and great characters.
