Relish

It's an aptly titled graphic novel - a wonderfully illustrated love note to food and the culture surrounding it.

Lucy Knisley was raised by foodies. Her godfather was a renowned restaurant critic, her mom worked at a local restaurant and was the type to bring a blowtorch for school birthdays to make creme brûlée. Lucy would later find herself in upstate New York with her mother growing vegetables and working the farmers market. In college she became a cheese seller. Her memories are tied to food.

But she's not some foodie hipster and still recalls the joys of pizza pockets, KD and McDonald's fries. It's an uncomplicated book that had me headed out to buy myself some fancy cheese as a result. That counts as a win.
