Wordfest 2019: Ruth Reichl (Save Me The Plums)

On April 29th we hosted the tastiest live event of 2019. Calgary welcomed the legendary Ruth Reichl in celebration of her new memoir, Save Me the Plums. This conversation-style event gave Wordfesters the rare opportunity to connect with an unparalleled powerhouse (editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, New York Times restaurant critic, chef and bestselling author), as Reichl shared an insider’s take on the obsessions, intrigues and delights of being at the centre of the explosion of contemporary food culture. This event included an on-stage interview with Wordfest's CEO & Creative Ringleader, Shelley Youngblut, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Tickets included a signed copy of Save Me the Plums ($32 retail price).
