About this product

Product Information

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

  • A look into someone else's life.

    This is not my normal sort of reading material. I enjoy all forms of 'comics' so thought I would give it a shot. It is a biographical story of a young girl who has artistic qualities with regards to cooking and creating visual stories. It is understated, particularly when it comes to the divorce of her parents and shows the influence of her parents with regards to her abilities and outlook on life. It has recipes at the end of most chapters, that evidently had meant something to her ( I might even try some of them). It is not overly exciting and I didn't read it in one sitting. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it and whereas the artwork is simplistic, it suited the narrative and it must have hit the right note as it stayed with me for a while after I finished reading it. Recommended.
