Save me the plums : my Gourmet memoir

Summary: When Condé Nast offered Reichl the top position at America's oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone's boss. But she had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career-- how could she say no? This is the story of Reichl's tenure as editor in chief of Gourmet. We learn how, with legendary chefs, idiosyncratic writers, and a colorful group of editors and art directors, she spearheaded a revolution in the way we think about food. -- adapted from jacket
