Like almost everyone else, I picked up this book from having watched Ruby on GBBO years ago. What I regret is not having picked up any of her work earlier.
I thoroughly enjoyed her candid writing style. It felt more conversational than dictatorial (and yes I had her essay on food critics in mind when I wrote this). I thought the mix of historical and cultural with just a touch of snark made it a worthwhile read and I look forward to reading more from her. Definitely recommend this people who love food but also like considering the bigger picture of how food has evolved and influenced/been influenced by society in the past hundred years.
Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.
