Life after Gourmet magazine

In her new book, My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life, Ruth Reichl writes “In the fall of 2009, I’d been the editor in chief of Gourmet for 10 years.” Despite falling revenues throughout the publishing industry, “it never crossed my mind that Condé Nast might close the magazine. Gourmet was a 69-year-old institution.”
