Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley
4.0
Raised in upscale New York by foodie parents and friends. She dined on the finest of foods and at gourmet parties. Then her world turned upside down, her mother divorced and moved her to the country. There she learned how to grow food and make fresh food products. She found out food doesn’t just appear on the shelf at the markets.
Her mother started baking, when they found they had too many egg laying chickens. This was the start of her cooking her mother told her if she wanted something she had to learn how to make it herself. Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Her parents horrified by processed foods were shocked by her rebellious desire to eat junk food. Yes, she found Lucky Charms, thanks to her class mates. It gets worse, more horrifying, she ate at Micky D’s while in Rome !!!! Where did her parents go wrong ???
As she travels the world and grows through her teenage years she learns much about herself and the foods in the world.
When she grows up her lust for food lingers. She tastes a croissant in Venice that drives her crazy with need. (I totally understand this) She has to make them ! Even her graduation fro Art school does not take her from her love food.
Miracle Whip is a Monster !
This fun adventure of a born foodie is sure to delight anyone who has enjoyed food. The illustrations are funny and well drawn. Big, bonus, there are several recipes to make at home.
