Book Reviews of Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise
Book Review: 3.5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
good insight into the world of a food critic, fun read for foodies. somewhat repetitive towards the end, and the whole episode with the lawyer who was also a food connoisseur seemed a little made up (she randomly starts talking to him at a bar, and he immediately starts talking about the new york times food critic, and also invites her to the very same restaurant she was meaning to go to, without being prodded? too much coincidence). but she does seem to love food a great deal and writes well about it. i was surprised, but shouldn't have been, by the various underhanded ploys used by upscale restaurants to make their patrons spend more money.
