Best-selling author and former Gourmet Magazine editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl is our guest on today’s episode. Ruth joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her latest book, “The Paris Novel,” a tale of self-discovery set in 1983 and filled with food, fashion, and art. Ruth shares the real-life inspiration behind some of the people, places, and meals, and talks about her writing process. “I took a long time writing this because I didn’t want to let go of the characters,” she says.
Ruth, who has a Substack and a podcast today, also shares her take on food media, dishes out some career advice, and discusses whether her books will ever be adapted for movies or streaming.
Thank you to Kerrygold and Veuve Clicquot for supporting our show.
