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.

I just so happened to be in New York City last weekend when Garrett Weber-Gale, the Austin-based swimmer who won two gold medals in the 2008 Olympics, hosted a fundraiser with some of the biggest names in food including Daniel Boulud, Daniel Humm, David Bouley, Florian Bellanger and Tom Colicchio.
(We’ve written a number of cooking and sports stories about Weber-Gale before, and he’s even penned a story for us about what it’s like eating at the Olympics.)
The $1,500-per-plate event ended up raising more than $40,000 for USA Swimming Foundation, a nonprofit that supports swimmers and their coaches and helps provide swimming lessons for disadvantaged kids. Since 2007, the USA Swimming Foundation has given out more than $2 million in free lessons, including $10,000 worth in the Austin area.
In this week’s Relish Austin column, which is running in tomorrow’s newspaper, you can read about what inspired the event, which big-name figure was eating at Coliccho’s restaurant while the event was taking place and why three-time gold medalist and NBC swimming commentator Rowdy Gaines says that spending time out of the pool doing things like cooking isn’t such a bad idea.
