Finding Freedom is a heavy memoir and gives a look behind the curtain of successful restaurant owner and cook Erin French of The Lost Kitchen. Her restaurant is world famous, but most people only see the success and not all the struggles to get to that point.
I really appreciated French’s honesty regarding the abusive and toxic relationships she had in her life, her drug addiction and rehab stays, as well as her struggle with suicidal ideation during her lowest points.
The focus of this book is more of a personal journey with food and restaurant life entwined. I wanted more about her process and would have loved to learn more about how The Lost Kitchen became the great success it is today. Overall, I found it an insightful memoir, and I applaud French for sharing her story.
Thank you to the publisher Celadon for the ARC. This was my honest review.
