Relish: My Life in the Kitchen
ealexander says:
Sometimes our memories are colored by our experiences. Sometimes those experiences are colored by food. The smell of homemade chocolate chip cookies. The taste of special recipe from our childhood. As the daughter of a food critic and professional chef Lucy Knisley has an unusual palate. She takes us on a tour of her childhood in the graphic novel as she recounts the important experiences and the recipes that punctuate those memories. From garden fresh pesto to street food in Mex...ico, and even *gasp* junk food scorned by her parents. Lucy even includes some of her favorite recipes for us to try!

While there are quite a few books that use the graphic novel as an autobiographical medium nowadays (Smile and Fun Home [which is coming up on my reading list] come to mind) Relish stands alone as a work of culinary, as well as graphic, art. This book is the first one in a long time that I've read and IMMEDIATELY thought, "I have to buy this!" Well-written, beautifully drawn, and chock full of recipes I simply must try, Relish is for foodies, cooks, and anyone that enjoys eating, period.MoreLess
