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.

You often hear about the “art of cooking,” but how often do we really recognize that a cook is a performance artist who expresses an individual interpretation of an emotion through food?
From 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, explore the art of fried chicken during “Culinary One Acts,” an event at the former location of Ms. B’s, 1050 E. 11th St., that is part of the Black Arts Movement festival.
After a screening of a short documentary about the late Southern food expert Edna Lewis, Austin food writer Toni Tipton-Martin, who just returned from a trip to the White House to launch Michelle Obama’s Chefs Move to Schools campaign, will talk with three local cooks as they make their unique style of fried chicken.
“These women are known in their communities as great cooks,” Tipton-Martin says. “We want to spotlight the differences in style in each person’s execution, as well as showcase the personality and family history in each recipe.” Audience members will get to sample each of the three versions of fried chicken, as well as dishes that will appear on the menu of a new restaurant from Homer Hills, the former owner of Mr. Catfish. Tickets cost $15 at the door, and a pass to all the BAM festival events cost $65.
