Commencing at 11:00 AM PT, Ruth Reichl, acclaimed American chef, author, and culinary editor, will be celebrating the release of her latest book with an exclusive signed copy accompanied by a family-style inspired lunch. Ms. Reichl has been honored with six James Beard Awards and has appeared as a judge on Top Chef Masters.
