“I plan on buying this book for every foodie I know.” - Wired like a giant bowl of spaghetti carbonara or a tower of huevos rancheros (recipes included) this is a book that teenagers and parents will savor in equal measure.” - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “Knisley's candid storytelling, deadpan humor, and clear-line storytelling make the book entirely accessible. “Lucy Knisley is bringing comics into the kitchen.” - USA Today Step aside, Joy of Cooking.” -Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home “Lucy Knisley's delightful drawings don't just tell great stories, they're a crystal-clear how-to guide to everything worth doing in the kitchen. Her language, like her drawings, is precise and uncluttered." - New York Times "Between chapters, Knisley offers simple, neatly diagrammed recipes (chocolate chip cookies! pesto! sangria!). "Lovingly illustrated and annotated in her bright, cartoony style." -NPR Her graphic memoirs include Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride and Kid Gloves. Her travelogues ( French Milk, An Age of License, and Displacement) and web comic series ( Stop Paying Attention) have been lauded by critics, and her combined work has built her a devoted readership for her honest and thoughtful true-life stories. It was a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into five languages.
Her Alex Award-winning graphic novel, Relish: My Life in the Kitchen, tells the story of her childhood steeped in the food industry. Her skills could certainly fill a full-on cookbook, but I'm just a comic artist with a love and appreciation.Lucy Knisley is the author and illustrator of beloved graphic novels about memory, identity, food, and family. "My book is about my life and growing up in food, but the real chef was my mom. "Having a love of food isn't quite the same as being a pro," Knisley says.
While it was easy and instinctive for her to draw the recipes - since many are fairly simple dishes she cooks frequently - Knisley isn't looking to cross over into being a full-time cookbook author. It removes the seriousness and inflexibility of a recipe full of strict measurements, and allows a little bit more of the organic process of cooking to come through." "It allows people to feel a little more confident, watching cartoon hands make something, to try it themselves. Comics allow for that sort of visual learning," she explains. "I find it much easier to grasp how a dish is prepared if I'm allowed to watch someone prepare it. Knisley wanted to include them because she's a visual learner herself, especially when it comes to cooking, and often cookbook instructions can get confusing with their inherent terminology.
