"A sweet and savory treat." -People "An impressive feat of
narrative jujitsu . . . that keeps readers turning the pages too
fast to realize just how ingenious they are."-The New York Times
Book Review, Editor's Pick From the New York Times bestselling
author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota, Kitchens of the Great
Midwest is a novel about a young woman with a once-in-a-generation
palate who becomes the iconic chef behind the country's most
coveted dinner reservation. When Lars Thorvald's wife, Cynthia,
falls in love with wine-and a dashing sommelier-he's left to raise
their baby, Eva, on his own. He's determined to pass on his love of
food to his daughter-starting with pureed pork shoulder. As Eva
grows, she finds her solace and salvation in the flavors of her
native Minnesota. From Scandinavian lutefisk to hydroponic
chocolate habaneros, each ingredient represents one part of Eva's
journey as she becomes the star chef behind a legendary and
secretive pop-up supper club, culminating in an opulent and
emotional feast that's a testament to her spirit and resilience.
Each chapter in J. Ryan Stradal's startlingly original debut tells
the story of a single dish and character, at once capturing the
zeitgeist of the Midwest, the rise of foodie culture, and delving
into the ways food creates community and a sense of identity. By
turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, Kitchens of the Great
Midwest is an unexpected mother-daughter story about the
bittersweet nature of life-its missed opportunities and its joyful
surprises. It marks the entry of a brilliant new talent.
