Hailing from the Ozarks, Addie Broyles expanded her cooking (and eating) skills on the West Coast and Spain before settling in Austin, mainly for the aguas frescas at the taco stand down the street from her house where she, husband Ian and son Julian are now attempting to grow their own food in the backyard.
Relishing food is about taking time to enjoy what has become the often hurried and mundane task of nourishing our bodies. Relish Austin is Addie's search for things that make her go "mmmm." High brow, low brow. Fast food, slow food. In Central Texas. On the Web. On the streets. In your garden and in your kids' lunch box. In your refrigerator and on your dinner table.
Relish Austin is also the name of Addie's print column that appears in the Austin American-Statesman a few times a month.

Alton Brown was directing television commercials in 1991 when he had the idea for a kooky cooking show. He shot some test episodes, and the Food Network eventually took notice of Brown’s appeal as a scientific madman in the kitchen. “Good Eats” premiered in 1999.
To celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary, Brown has published “Good Eats: The Early Years,” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $37.50) which chronicles the first 80 episodes with recipes and tips written in Brown’s signature funny-man style.
From 1 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 18, Brown will be in Austin to sign copies of the book at Whole Foods Market, 525 N. Lamar Blvd. To get books signed, they must be bought from BookPeople, which will sell them at its store at 603 N. Lamar Blvd. and inside Whole Foods during the event.
