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.

After spending the past six weeks up to my ears in all things Thanksgiving, I decided that this year, my family would skip the traditional meal back home in Missouri for a week by ourselves at the beach.
But just because your table isn’t full of stuffing and green bean casserole doesn’t mean you’re not celebrating the Day of Thanks. We made seafood paella with friends earlier this week, which satiated the communal meal desire, which meant that yesterday, it was just me and my boys, braising lamb and enjoying the quiet, non-frantic house. (We’ve got our paella-making friends’ house by ourselves for the week.)
It’s been a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, with more good meals than we’ve had in a while. I’ll be posting about dumpling-making and seafood markets next week, but in the meantime, I want to see a glimpse of your Thanksgiving. We’re putting together a gallery of Thanksgiving food photos, and you can upload pictures of your own here.
