 Here are the questions for Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reich

1. Reichl focuses on different dining experiences, each of her”characters “ has and how those experiences can be better or worse depending on her appearance.  Have you had a negative experience restaurant experience of this type and if so, how did you handle it?

2. I love food , but I live alone and I really don’t like to cook.  However, this book brings back the pleasures of it and cooking new things.   In what ways has your thoughts on food change because of this memoir?

3.  Describe your favorite restaurant experiences?  How does it compare to your ideal experience.?

4. If you could dress in a disguise, who would you be?  Create your perfect dining experience.

I will start the meeting with the author’s background.  I would discuss her decision to go to The NY Times.  We can discuss how she tried to sabotage the move.
