Relish: My Life in the Kitchen is a new graphic novel memoir of artist Lucy Knisley and her obsession with food and cooking! I read it this summer and am finally getting around to writing about it. I like reading memoirs, I like food and I am reading more and more graphic novels. It was a perfect fit!Knisley looks back on her childhood and teenage years. Her mom was a chef and her father appreciated good food. Memories are tied into the foods we eat. Lucy shares her favorite recipes as she shares her life. With each memory she shows that life, like a good meal, should be savored and that all food -- even junk food is more than "just fuel". I appreciated the fact that she likes McDonald's fries!
Each chapter ends with a recipe. Make some of "Mom's Pesto" or "Lucy's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies" ....and bring me in a taste!
