Curated Cuisine: An evening with food writer, editor and critic Ruth Reichl

Join us for an evening with six-time James Beard Award winner Ruth Reichl who will reminisce about her long career and share her perspectives on how restaurant culture and food publishing is changing.
Reichl is a New York Times bestselling author of five memoirs, two novels (“Delicious!”; “The Paris Novel”) and the cookbook “My Kitchen Year.” She served as restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times in the 1980s and The New York Times in the 1990s before becoming editor in chief of Gourmet magazine in 1999 until it shuttered a decade later. Despite holding some of the most prestigious jobs in food writing, Reichl has always written in the voice of the ordinary cook and embraced an outsider persona.
Tania Ralli, WBUR assistant managing editor of arts and culture and graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York City, will moderate the conversation. Paperback copies of “The Paris Novel” will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith, Reichl will sign and guests will enjoy a bite from one of her favorite recipes following the conversation.
This event is produced in partnership with Boston University’s Metropolitan College Programs in Food & Wine.
