Relish: my life in the kitchen
by Lucy Knisley
No wonder this book was so in demand at the library! It was funny! You definitely do not use the phrase "it's only food" around this author.
I wouldn't use the phrase anyway--if you don't have any food, or if you have to choose between paying your rent and and buying your groceries this month, it's a lot more than "only food." It's a livelihood for many thousands of people, an obsession for some, and a delightful discovery for a few more. After a few hours spent perusing cooking blogs, I start thinking rude thoughts about certain folk lacking lives. But it's still important.
And to this amazing author and comic artist, it's a framework for a lovely little book about her life and the ways it was shaped by food. She's great and I've got to see what else she's done!
