Book Passage in Corte Madera, Calif., partnered with the Larkspur restaurant Left Bank Brasserie for a "Cooks with Books" event featuring Ruth Reichl, whose new book is The Paris Novel (Random House). Reichl selected a multi-course lunch inspired by her book, and the event--attended by more than 180--featured a lively author talk, meet-and-greet, signing, and photo ops.
