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 g2sbrilliant in its simplicity and honestyg3s by Food & Wine, and it is exactly this pure approach that makes Erin{u2019}s cooking so appealing{u2014}and so easy to embrace at home.
