An evocative, gorgeous four-season look at cooking in Maine, with 100 recipes
 
No one can bring small-town America to life better than a native. Erin French grew up in Freedom, Maine (population 719), helping her father at the griddle in his diner. An entirely self-taught cook who used cookbooks to form her culinary education, she now helms her restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, in a historic mill in the same town, creating meals that draw locals and visitors from around the world to a dining room that feels like an extension of her home kitchen. The food has been called “brilliant in its simplicity and honesty” by Food & Wine, and it is exactly this pure approach that makes Erin’s cooking so appealing—and so easy to embrace at home.

This stunning giftable package features a vellum jacket over a printed cover.

It makes for a wonderful gift or coffee table book. I will update this once I have tried out a few…

but the scallop crudo was a hit with people who don’t like raw fish Would buy this book for the salad dressing alone, but the scallop crudo was a hit with people who don’t like raw fish, the Basil Custard for blueberries was outstanding, and the meat loaf was a hit at a fancy dinner party. Still so many things to try. With reservations at he Lost Kitchen sooo difficult to get, this is almost as good.

this book just took me back to so many special moments and time spent outside in the beautiful space that is Midcoast Maine Having grown up in Maine, this book just took me back to so many special moments and time spent outside in the beautiful space that is Midcoast Maine. This cookbook was beyond what I had hoped for when I preordered it. It simultaneously opened my senses and my heart. I look forward to getting copies for my dear friends that now live away and miss home. What a treasure. Thank you, Erin for sharing your experience, creativity, and sweet illustrations of the evolution of the Lost Kitchen. I look…
