BIG HEART LITTLE STOVE Bringing Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen

Celebrated chef Erin French shares glimpses of her Maine past and the familial roots of her favorite recipes, as well as ideas and temptations from her renowned restaurant, The Lost Kitchen. Her recitations of her recipes are both engaging and perfectly paced. One could cook while listening, though the recipes are handily indexed at the end. Interspersed are unscripted chats with her mom, a co-worker, and her friend chef Ina Garten. The ding of a kitchen timer, pages rustling, or a pepper grinder denote a recipe or an invitation for listeners to add their own touch. French's candor and genuine tone create an intimate atmosphere that will convince listeners that her magic can be re-created in their own kitchens by drawing on quality ingredients served simply and with love.
