The recipes in The Lost Kitchen beckon you to keep returning for more.”— The Philadelphia Inquirer 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 founded her acclaimed restaurant, the Lost Kitchen, in the same town, creating meals that draws locals and visitors from around the world to a dining room that feels like an extension of her home. No one can bring small-town America to life better than a native, especially when it comes to Maine, one of the country’s most off-the-beaten-path states, with an abundant natural bounty that comes from its coastline, rivers, farms, fields, and woods—a cook’s dream. Inspired by her lush locale and classic American cooking, Erin crafts deliciously satisfying and easy-to-make recipes such as Whole-Roasted Trout with Parsnip and Herb Hash, Maine Shrimp Rolls, Ramp and Fiddlehead Fried Rice, and Rhubarb Spoon Cake. Erin’s food has been called “brilliant in its simplicity and honesty” by Food & Wine , and it is exactly this pure approach that makes her style of cooking so appealing—and so easy to embrace at home, wherever you live.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780553448436","publication_date":"20170509","publisher":"Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed","slug":"the-lost-kitchen","subtitle":"Recipes and a Good Life Found in Freedom, Maine: a Cookbook","title":"The Lost Kitchen"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"CKB002040","confidence_band":"high","label":"New England Cooking","score":0.8385,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"California Cooking","score":0.8058,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Midwestern Cooking","score":0.8055,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"CKB002040","confidence_band":"high","label":"New England Cooking","score":0.8385,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"California Cooking","score":0.8058,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Midwestern Cooking","score":0.8055,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"CKB002040","confidence_band":"high","label":"New England Cooking","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"CKB059000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Whole & Natural Foods","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"CKB077000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Seasonal Cooking","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"New England Cooking","score":0.8385,"slug":"new-england-cooking"},{"label":"California Cooking","score":0.8058,"slug":"california-cooking"},{"label":"Midwestern Cooking","score":0.8055,"slug":"midwestern-cooking"}],"reader_fit":["Home cooks seeking easy-to-make seasonal Maine recipes"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Gesine Bullock-Prado"],"book_id":"9781682689165","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682689165.jpg?v=2e59c2ae88faaed6","score":0.744,"title":"My Harvest Kitchen","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682689165"},{"authors":["Karista Bennett"],"book_id":"9781682685006","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682685006.jpg?v=95ad5ed4356e4cc9","score":0.7374,"title":"The Oregon Farm Table Cookbook","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682685006"},{"authors":["Mimi Thorisson"],"book_id":"9780553459586","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780553459586.jpg?v=ac1772de154fd8bb","score":0.7311,"title":"French Country Cooking","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780553459586"},{"authors":["Maren Ellingboe King"],"book_id":"9781682686966","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682686966.jpg?v=f6c7663bd06542aa","score":0.7242,"title":"Fresh Midwest","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682686966"},{"authors":["Arlin Smith","Andrew Taylor","Mike Wiley","Sam Hiersteiner"],"book_id":"9781984856326","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781984856326.jpg?v=c1c470f1582515be","score":0.724,"title":"Eventide","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781984856326"},{"authors":["Gesine Bullock-Prado"],"book_id":"9781682687352","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682687352.jpg?v=4f2edf22abf34d5c","score":0.7165,"title":"My Vermont Table","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682687352"},{"authors":["Craig Fear"],"book_id":"9781682687130","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682687130.jpg?v=548c699f64141ee9","score":0.7144,"title":"New England Soups From the Sea","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682687130"},{"authors":["Kaleb Wyse"],"book_id":"9780063345713","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063345713.jpg?v=14020052a8cc9946","score":0.7064,"title":"There’s Always Room at the Table","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063345713"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:travel"],"label":"Travel","score":0.0878,"slug":"travel"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:nature"],"label":"Nature","score":0.0486,"slug":"nature"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:summer"],"label":"Summer","score":0.0349,"slug":"summer"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:cooking gifts"],"label":"Cooking","score":0.029,"slug":"cooking"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Seasonal Maine cooking, Classic American recipes, Local ingredients.","Themes: Travel, Nature, Summer.","Reading lane: New England Cooking and California Cooking."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.96,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Home cooks seeking easy-to-make seasonal Maine recipes"],"themes":["Seasonal Maine cooking","Classic American recipes","Local ingredients"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":3147,"goodreads_ratings_count":817,"goodreads_reviews_count":87,"quality_score":0.93}}
