Friday, May 27, 12:00 noon on ZOOM (link to follow)
From Erin French, owner and chef of the critically acclaimed The Lost Kitchen, a TIME world dining destination, a life affirming memoir about survival, renewal, and finding a community to lift her up.
Long before The Lost Kitchen became a world dining destination with every seating filled the day the reservation book opens each spring, Erin French was a girl roaming barefoot on a 25-acre farm, a teenger falling in love with food while working the line at her dad's diner and a young woman finding her calling as a professional chef at her tiny retaurant tucked into a 19th century mill. This singular memoir -- a classic American story -- invites readers to Erin's corner of her beloved Maine to share the real person behind the 'girl from Freedom' fairytale, and the not-so-picture-perfect struggles that have taken every ounce of her strength to overcome, and that make Erin's life triumphant.
