Award-winning author, food editor and restaurant critic Ruth Reichl will appear at 7 p.m., March 27, at the Henrico Sports and Events Center to discuss her latest work, The Paris Novel. The event is sponsored by the Friends of Henrico County Public Library, Henrico County Public Library and Henrico County Public Schools.

Library Director Barbara Weedman says. “Our region is known for its culinary scene, and we’re excited to invite and welcome the community to this event.” All Henrico Reads encourages members of the community to all read the same book or a book along the same topic, then discuss it together and hear the author speak at the public event.

Reichl is the New York Times best-selling author of five memoirs, novels and the cookbook My Kitchen Year. She was editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine, a restaurant critic for The New York Times and a food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. Reichl has been honored with six James Beard Awards, and in 2024 received the James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award.

Admission is free. Location: 1 All Star Blvd., Glen Allen. For more information, visit HenricoLibrary.org.
