Relish: My Life in the Kitchen
Lucy Knisley
<p>A vibrant, food-themed memoir from beloved indie cartoonist Lucy Knisley.  </p><p>Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a<br>gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her<br>obsession honestly. In her forthright, thoughtful, and<br>funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus<br>far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons<br>learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is<br>bookended with an illustrated recipe—many of them<br>treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original<br>inventions.  </p><p>A welcome read for anyone who ever felt more passion<br>for a sandwich than is strictly speaking proper, Relish is a<br>book for our time: it invites the reader to celebrate food<br>as a connection to our bodies and a connection to the<br>earth, rather than an enemy, a compulsion, or a<br>consumer product.</p>
