Lucy Knisley has illustrated “how to make pickles” at her blog. The recipe is her own, based on others.

This is just a taste of her new book, Relish, which she describes as “stories, histories and recipes of food, all inspired by growing up with a chef for a mom. I signed it with First Second, and it’ll be in full color, out in a couple years.” (I can’t wait!) Plus, in the comments, she and others discuss reasons to get a Cintiq drawing tablet and model recommendations.
