Beautiful memoir will touch your heart and tantalize your taste buds!
Erin French, single mom to son Jaim and owner/cook at the Lost Kitchen restaurant located in rural Maine, has written a beautiful, mesmerizing memoir that will not only touch your heart but also tantalize your taste buds.
“I realized that much of the joy and the freedom of cooking lay with creating... beauty.”
When I first grabbed this book from my stack, I couldn't help but groan inwardly at the thought of another memoir, but luckily, this one was a real treat! I was enthralled by Erin's story of extreme resilience, courage and determination to fulfill her dreams. Foodies will rejoice at the mouth-watering descriptions of the meals she creates. I teared up quite a few times times while reading about everything she endured to make her dreams a reality. My heart ached for her as she hit rock-bottom, and I was so angry at the person who forced her there.
With just 75 pages left, I didn’t want it to end but when it did, I was left with a full heart (loved the sisterhood between Erin, her mom, and her employees) as well as an empty stomach as I wished I could dine at her restaurant and taste her culinary creations. So far, I've watched the first episode of her show, Lost Kitchen on Discovery+, and look forward to more!
