I wanted to like travel and food writer Jane Kramer’s The Reporter’s Kitchen: Essays more than I did–long-form pieces about chefs, restaurants, recipes, cookbooks, rituals, celebrations, Thanksgiving (!), normally turn me right on–but between the stuffy language, constant barrage of foreign vocab, and semi-inappropriate references (Coolie? a thirteen-rear-old Berber girl bride presented without comment?), reading was more a job than a joy.
