![]() ![]() Relish has only received one star (from Publisher’s Weekly), but it’s one of my favorite titles of the year. Lucy Knisley perfectly defines the value of food in Relish: “When we eat, we take in more than just sustenance.” She’s actually describing the cultural immersion through food she experienced in Japan, but the statement resonates because it’s about the complex role of food in our lives. As anyone with food issues can tell you, the hardest part of having a restricted diet is adjusting socially and emotionally. That’s eight years of politely saying, “no, thank you” when offered a delicious pastry, forgoing mom’s signature stuffing on Thanksgiving, and checking restaurant menus ahead of any dinner out with friends. ![]() I was diagnosed with Celiac disease on Halloween eight years ago.
