Relish my life in the kitchen5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() That's the sort of thing that made Knisley's trips and moves so relatable for me. With my job, I have had the luxury of moving around a lot and it is one of my favorite things to find all the best local foods and gorge on whatever that thing is that's special there before being forced to move on. ![]() Of course, I went before there were smart phones, let alone the tons of apps that tell where people are eating. I've been to both and just can't handle the crowds long enough to find the really good spots. ![]() I wish I could have been in so many of those restaurants, though I absolutely cannot handle New York City or Chicago. The story that the comic follows is all her most memorable food discoveries and I found myself reminiscing about some of my own after I finished it. It's 167 pages of story, which is about typical of a graphic novel, plus a few pages of pictures from her research. I do love comics generally and enjoyed the use of that format for a memoir. I'm not a pickle fan and don't feel the need to create my own. Knisley includes a recipe at the end of every chapter of a food she talks about throughout the chapter too and I am definitely going to try them all! Okay, not the pickles. I don't have quite the educated palate, but it's one of my favorite topics. After reading Relish, I just want to sit with Knisley and gush about all our favorite foods. ![]()
