Booksigning with cartoonist, author and foodie, Lucy Knisley.
We are really excited about this event. Lucy literally grew up in the Rhinebeck Farmers' Market and the market is featured in her wonderful new book as well as many Rhinebeck characters that you may recognize. Lucy's book is a New York Times Best Seller so be sure to stop by to meet her and check it out. Sponsored by Oblong Books & Music.
11am-1pm this Sunday.
Lucy Knisley was born in New York City, raised in Rhinebeck, NY, and educated in Chicago. She has come home to roost in a tiny apartment in Manhattan, where she can be closer to her mom's cooking. Her comics about life, food, travel and her adventures have gained her a devoted audience on the Internet, and she is now doing food comics for the magazineSaveur, who just sent her to Africa. Lucy’s first book, French Milk, is a travelogue about a trip to Paris. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In this forthright, thoughtful, and funny graphic memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe—many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original inventions. Relish invites the reader to celebrate food as a connection to our bodies and a connection to the earth, rather than an enemy, a compulsion, or a consumer product.
