Back in the kitchen, Ruth Reichl tastes lifesaving comfort
Ruth Reichl, one of the country's most prominent food writers since the 1970s, was editor of the nation's oldest food and wine magazine for a decade. Then in 2009, Gourmet was abruptly shut down by the publisher. Out of a job, what did Reichl do? She hunkered down and started cooking. She talks to Jeffrey Brown about her new book, "My Kitchen Year."
