![]() And all of this is tangled up with memories of my group of fellow animators at university that went on this hunt with me. It was so juicy and crisp, like nothing I’d ever had before. Eventually, after much searching, I found an American-style burger place that served their burgers with a whole pickle on the side. I couldn’t fathom this enthusiasm for pickles, but I was determined to get to the bottom of it. ![]() I remember well when I first read “Relish.” Chapter 10 ended with a section about pickles, and I was someone that’d only been exposed to pickles on a MacDonald’s burger, which was always a rather soggy and sad thing. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe-many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy’s original inventions.Ī 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. 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. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. ![]()
