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.

If you are a food blogger in Central Texas, consider joining the Austin Food Blogger Alliance, a newly formed nonprofit organization whose mission is to set an ethical standard for transparency and fairness for bloggers and coordinate classes, social events, and philanthropy projects for the food blogging community.
Emily Gross is as obsessed with music as she is food.
Gross, who owns the Austin record label Artifact Workshop with her husband, John, mixes the two in her very cool food blog, Gnocchi No Plan.
Whether she’s writing about cooking, gardening or eating egg sandwiches and tater tots, Gross includes a song and lyrics with each blog post.
As if her food blog isn’t fun enough, the musicians she and John work with are pretty cool, too. They make this video to go with a CD release party for a local artist named Neilyo, who is playing a gig on Sunday at the Mohawk.
What three things are always in your fridge? leftovers for the next day’s lunch, good beer, and ketchup
What’s your favorite condiment? TexaFrance pesto! We put it on everything…grilled cheese, rice, breakfast tacos…you name it.
If you could only eat one vegetable for the rest of your life, what would it be? This is a tricky one. We’re both vegetarian and really love our vegetables. But let’s go with garlic! It’s the perfect food, and it would be hard to cook anything without it.
