NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Trailblazing food writer and beloved restaurant critic Ruth Reichl took the job (and the risk) of a lifetime when she entered the high-stakes world of magazine publishing. Now, for the first time, she chronicles her groundbreaking tenure as editor in chief of Gourmet."A must for any food lover . . . Reichl is a warm, intimate writer. She peels back the curtain to a glamorous time of magazine-making. You'll tear through this memoir."--Refinery29 NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Real Simple - Good Housekeeping - Town & Country
When Cond Nast offered Ruth 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. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no? This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat. Readers will meet legendary chefs like David Chang and Eric Ripert, idiosyncratic writers like David Foster Wallace, and a colorful group of editors and art directors who, under Reichl's leadership, transformed stately Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This was the golden age of print media--the last spendthrift gasp before the Internet turned the magazine world upside down. Complete with recipes, Save Me the Plums is a personal journey of a woman coming to terms with being in charge and making a mark, following a passion and holding on to her dreams--even when she ends up in a place she never expected to be. Praise for Save Me the Plums "Poignant and hilarious . . . simply delicious . . . Each serving of magazine folklore is worth savoring. In fact, Reichl's story is juicier than a Peter Luger porterhouse. Dig in."--The New York Times Book Review "In this smart, touching, and dishy memoir . . . Ruth Reichl recalls her years at the helm of Gourmet magazine with clear eyes, a sense of humor, and some very appealing recipes."--Town & Country "If you haven't picked up food writing queen Ruth Reichl's new book, Save Me the Plums, I highly recommend you fix that problem. . . . Reichl is in top form and ready to dish, with every chapter seeming like a dedicated behind-the-scenes documentary on its own."--Soleil Ho, San Francisco Chronicle

Easy to use Ink Refill for Epson printers
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow, Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
This was a fantastic ink refill for my Epson 522 printer. I had been simply purchasing new cartridges in the past, but I decided to simply try to refill it the current ones that I was using. This was easy to use and surprisingly mess free. It didn't change the compatibility once I refilled the cartridge, which was a worry. The cost was very reasonable considering the expense of buying new cartridges. The quality was high when I started to print, and I was very impressed that there was no smearing or degradation in the ink or the readability. This worked very well, and I am extremely happy with the product. Clean up was trivial. I was amazed that there was no leaking either. Would definitely buy again.

Highly recommend
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
Worked perfectly for my printer! The print quality is just as good as the original ink it came with, and the price is much better. Easy to install, no leaks, and looks like it will last a long time.

Great product
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
It’s just what I ordered! It came very fast and the ink is sealed individually so it should last until I need it! I used the first bottle of black ink immediately! Thank you
