THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Erin French, owner and chef of
the critically acclaimed The Lost Kitchen, comes a life-affirming
memoir about survival, renewal and the pleasure of bringing joy to
people through food. Erin French grew up barefoot on a farm, fell
in love with food as a teenager working the line at her dad's diner
and found her calling as a professional chef at her tiny restaurant
The Lost Kitchen, tucked into a 19th-century mill-now a
world-renowned dining destination. In Finding Freedom in the Lost
Kitchen, Erin tells her story of multiple rock-bottoms, from
medical student to pregnant teen, of survival as a jobless single
mother, of pills that promised release but delivered addiction, of
a man who seemed to offer salvation but ripped away her very sense
of self. And of her son who became her guiding light as she slowly
rebuilt her personal and culinary life around the solace she found
in food-as a source of comfort, a sense of place, as a way of
creating community and making something of herself, despite
seemingly impossible odds. Set against the backdrop of rural Maine
and its lushly intense, bountiful seasons, Erin French's
rollercoaster memoir reveals struggles that have taken every ounce
of her strength to overcome, and the passion and courage behind the
fairytale success of The Lost Kitchen.
