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.

Tonight, author Jeff Potter will be giving a talk about his new book, “Cooking for Geeks,” at the Whole Foods Market on 525 N. Lamar Blvd.
After years of working in computer science , Potter became interested in exploring the mysteries of food science, so he devoted himself to a year of daily research to uncover the roots of food science. Along the way, Potter discovered that food science is fundamental to becoming a better cook. He believes his resulting book can equally benefit both master chefs and home cooks.
“I was a good home cook, but I didn’t know why things are done,” Potter said. “Having a solid model and a wealth of information can change everything.”
In addition to signing his book, Potter plans to answer questions, show of various pieces of food science equipment, and demonstrate various food science tricks.
The talk begins at 6:30 p.m. and the book ($35, O’Reilly) can be purchased and signed at the event.
