Next week’s link-up will go live on Monday at Sophisticated Dorkiness with a new theme. See the review of Week 1 at Regular Rumination. I’m enjoying that it’s in comic book format.

Weekend Cooking: Relish by Lucy Knisley at Beth Fish Reads.Check out these reviews (and let me know if I missed yours - I’ll add it to the list): Other Reviews: Relishwas reviewed by several Weekend Cooking participants. I was thrilled to read in her journal that she recently completed a crowd-funded trip to Europe for a new book about Oscar Wilde and that she’s just moved back to Chicago.Īppeal: A terrific book for lovers of food willing to take a chance on the graphic novel format. She has galleys posted of her European croissant adventure. When I checked to see if anyone had scanned pages of Relish, I discovered the author’s website. Many American dairies are still small and groovy. Here’s one of the “totally amazing” things she learned about cheese:ĭue to the popularity of European Cheeses, many of their dairies got overrun and the cheese suffered.

Lucy finished off her cheese adventures with a two page illustrated Cheese Cheat Sheet. Cheese was one of the high points of our trip to France and the reason that I read The Whole Fromage by Kathe Lison a few months ago. The nephew and a friend from a cheese shop (a different one from where Lucy worked) arranged an amazing cheese and wine adventure for us for Bastille Day a couple of years ago. When we visited him, we had a great time eating our way through the city. My husband’s nephew works in wine sales in Chicago. I enjoyed, most, the account of her time spent working in a fancy cheese shop in Chicago, since it touched several of my experiences. French Milk was black and white, but she was able to make this new one in full-color which adds even more energy to her already amusing and easy-going style. Thoughts: Like French Milk, the first book by Lucy Knisley that I read last month, Relish is a fun and quick read with a good glimpse into the world of the modern twenty-something. Relish is her memoir, written like a graphic novel, about all of these adventures. She traveled and ate in Mexico, Japan, and Europe. She was an art student in Chicago at the time when the food scene was erupting in that city. Summary: Lucy Knisley grew up in New York and New England living with her mom who worked in a variety of food ventures and visiting her dad who took her out to eat.
