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. They recently welcomed another baby boy and two chickens to the family.
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.

I’m a freak when it comes to oatmeal cookies.
Oatmeal raisin are probably my hands-down favorite category of cookie, but I’m just as happy with cookies like this Uber Yummy Oatmeal Holiday Cookie from Dianna Perez, who says it’s one of her favorite cookies to give to friends during the holidays.
White chocolate and cranberries is a classic connection, and with the oatmeal thrown in, it’s definitely a recipe you’re going to want to try.
If you like oatmeal cookies with fruit, that is. I know several people who insist that oatmeal chocolate chip is ideal, but this recipe combines the best of both worlds.
To get a feel for the recipes being exchanged in the Statesman’s Virtual Cookie Swap, I’ve started baking recipes that catch my eye. It’s a lot of cookies, but someone’s got to do it. The deadline to enter to win the title of Austin’s Best Cookie 2009 is Dec. 2. We’ll announce finalists on Dec. 4 and pick a winner at a holiday bash at Stubb’s on Dec. 17. Stay tuned for details.
