Reseñas
Reichl, a longtime food critic and prolific archivist of memorable meal menus, has written a few memoirs by now, and this is an older one. Still, I went back to this title because her newer writing was so engrossing and relatable even for a non-cook. A rich history of living in a communal Berkeley house and trying to start a family were covered with relevant recipes intermixed. I don’t believe this title is still in print, but if you can track down a copy, it’s well worth the trouble.
This book feels like a fantasy, a fairy-tale where the main character gets all her wishes fulfilled. That wasn't what I was expecting. but it has definitely stayed with me much longer than I expected as well, and I love the dreaminess of it. I guess it must be nice to be Stella and have all your wishes magically come true thanks to Paris and friends with money -- oh, and slender, gamin, beauty doesn't hurt at all -- but at least her adventures were interesting and full of passionate connoisseurs of art and literature and food.

Stella liked her quiet, solitary life and her predictable job at the publishing house.
She wasn’t a spender.
She wasn’t one to be extravagant, and she definitely wasn’t someone that liked to socialize like her mother did.
After her boss forced her to go on a vacation, she decided she might as well head to Paris. She didn’t like it at all.
Or she didn’t like it until she was enticed by an eccentric woman to buy a very expensive dress created by Dior that made her feel amazing in all ways.
She didn’t know this dress would make her see things differently and meet wonderful people or was it just Paris itself?
Is this what her mother wanted her to feel and where she wanted her to be?
Besides loving how Stella is able to find herself you will love all the name dropping of fashion icons, famous artists, places in Paris, and the mystery Stella was trying to solve and a mystery she was not trying to unravel, but so happy she did.
You will love the characters - eccentric, sweet, and loving. And of course you will fall in love with Paris.
A delightful, breezy read, but don’t read this book if you are hungry. 5/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.… (más)
