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.

With our relatively mild winters, Austin isn’t the worst place to spend the months of November through March. I feel kinda bad complaining about six more weeks of “winter” in Austin, but after last summer’s crazy heat wave, I think like we’ve paid our dues and deserve a few more 70-degree days in January and February.
But the groundhog in Pennsylvania says we probably won’t get so lucky. (If you’ve got a source for groundhog, here’s a recipe for cooking one.)
So like the rest of you, I’m succumbing to more soup and slow-cooker recipes in the coming weeks. But how do we get out of the rut we’ve been in since the first cold snap in November?
Have you made a pot of chili or Frito pie yet? What about some spicy enchiladas?
Grilled sandwiches will make even the most bland soup interesting. (But because you’re following these tips from the Soup Peddler, you’re soups aren’t bland any more, right?)
Baking will give your heater a break. I’ve already professed my love for these bread recipes, but what about graham crackers or applesauce muffins? (If you’re tired of your go-to breads, check out this great blog by the authors of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes.)
Or maybe it’s time to forget all these winter food traditions and break out the margaritas and head outside to grill. After all, it’s not going to be snowing any time soon, and a grilled steak and vegetable kebabs might be just what you need to cure the wintertime blues.
