Our current book selection for Cook the Books Club is Relish: My Life in the Kitchen, a Graphic Memoir by Lucy Knisley. Cartoon formatted books are not my usual go to read, or cookbook for that matter. I found some of it entertaining and humorous, some recipes a bit questionable, and a few that made me want to give a try. The pickle episode was funny, but in actuality, pretty bad. I've never seen such a complicated and strange procedure for making pickled vegetables. Cooking the cucumbers first? 1/2 gallon apple cider vinegar?? She says that her grandmother made incredible pickles, and further that both she and her mom were never able to duplicate the process. It totally made me want to email her a good recipe for naturally fermented pickles, which is probably what her grandmother made. Here it is for anyone interested: https://honeyfromrock.blogspot.com/2010/10/they-cant-be-that-easy-pickled.html
