Do not read or listen to this book while hungry; you will regret it! Although, while reading and listening, I was hungry 90% of the time. The food descriptions are incredible! This new memoir by the famous chef, Erin French, comes out April 6th and if you're a foodie, you'll want to grab a copy!

Erin herself did the narration, and her emotions came through so clearly. This memoir was consumed with so much sadness and hurt, yet it was also filled with endless hope. Her journey was inspiring. Erin is a self-taught cook who started working at her father's diner as a young girl. She moved up to small catering jobs, waitressing, opened a small traveling dinner party, and now owns a full-scale restaurant.

The Lost Kitchen is located in Freedom, Maine, and you're lucky to get a reservation. The restaurant soon was selling out for the entire year on the Spring day when they first opened their reservations for the year. They were quickly overwhelmed with reservation requests and came up with a new system: send a postcard to Freedom, Maine and a random selection will be done for the upcoming season. I thought this was such a cute idea, and it was done to drum up the postal office in the small town of Maine.

I'm off to write my postcard and dream about delicious foods from this book!
