Synopsis
GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is Ruth Reichl's riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic. What is even more remarkable about Reichl's spy games is that as she takes on these various disguises, she finds herself changed not just superficially, but in character as well. She gives a remarkable account of how one's outer appearance can very much influence one's inner character, expectations, and appetites. As she writes, "Every restaurant is a theater . . . even the modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while." GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is a reflection on personal identity and role playing in the decadent, epicurean theaters of the restaurant world.

- c***s (156)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI have purchased from this seller previously with no issues and appreciated their professional curtsy. So I decided to acquire 2 additional hand painted china plates that matched the ones I bought from this shop a few months ago. We negotiated a good price. The fragile plates arrived safely and well packaged. I would gladly purchase again from this seller and highly recommend them. They have some gorgeous items for sale.Antique Bohemia China 24K Gold Encrusted 8.25” Salad Plate – Empire – VGC -Czech (#265143552640)
- w***6 (72)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePackaged 5 bowl-plates excellently for their trip across the country. All 5 arrived completely unscathed & in perfect condition. Lil tricky to purchase despite the “make me an offer” button bc it kept automatically denying my offer (4x) but once seller realized I was buying all 5 of them, the offer was quickly accepted. Long-weekend delayed shipping 8days but once I messaged, it shipped the following day. The care with which they were packaged made it A+. So happy they were so carefully wrapped!
- y***2 (207)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseShipping time was good, figurine was packaged carefully and arrived undamaged. Figurine is as described and looks just like the picture. Great value for the price, A++++ seller!
