The Life and Death of Gourmet: Ruth Reichl Tells All
Friday, 30 January, 2026
Something surprising happened earlier this month: Five intrepid journalists brought Gourmet magazine back from the dead after they discovered Condé Nast let its trademark lapse. This week, we revisit our episode from 2019 with Gourmet’s final editor-in-chief, Ruth Reichl. She shares stories about the magazine’s glory days, its final days, and the perks of being an editor in the golden age of publishing. Plus, Vicky Bennison takes us behind the scenes of Pasta Grannies, her YouTube channel that documents Italian grandmothers making pasta the old-fashioned way; we get lessons in hotel room cooking from Alex Aïnouz; and we make Mini Almond Cakes with Spiced Chocolate. (Originally aired May 17, 2019.)Get the recipe for Mini Almond Cakes with Spiced Chocolate here.Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
