I Heart Cooking Clubs Welcomes Erin French of The Lost Kitchen!

I Heart Cooking Clubs is giving a HUGE welcome to Erin French of the acclaimed restaurant and show, The Lost Kitchen, and also her new show, Getting Lost! If you have not yet watched either show, PLEASE DO SO NOW! Trust me, you will be so thankful you did!

Erin owns the renowned 40-seat restaurant in Freedom, Maine known as The Lost Kitchen where she makes five course meals from local ingredients and highlights local farmers, fisherman, and other purveyors. The meals she and her staff make are so inspiring and the decor is so rustic and cozy. It is a show that will really inspire you to be creative with your local ingredients in your own kitchen!

You can learn more about Erin French by reading her memoir, Finding Freedom: A Cook's Story Remaking A Life From Scratch.
 

Erin's first cookbook, The Lost Kitchen: Recipes And A Good Life Found In Freedom, Maine is available on Amazon or on her website, The Lost Kitchen. This cookbook is fantastic and a little on the in depth with recipes that are more for an intermediate cook, or rather slightly on the fancy side. 
Erin's second cookbook, Big Heart Little Stove: Bringing Home Meals & Moments From The Lost Kitchen is my favorite of the two! Both cookbooks are beautiful, but this book is more how people cook at home. I also love the bit about foraging and thrifting kitchen pieces and items for your kitchen table.

Once you get acclimated with Erin and her recipes, feel free to join us this week as we say Welcome Erin French! We will be making any Erin French recipe, or any recipe from any of our other IHCC chefs. 

Make and post your Welcome Erin French recipe by Sunday, October 6th.

Please link a picture of your recipe below, and leave a comment after. 

October Themes are on the right sidebar and participants can chose to cook any Erin French dish, or any dish from any of our 25 other chefs that fit the theme.

And now for a really fun announcement....the new IHCC chef starting September 30, 2024 through March 30th is Erin French of The Lost Kitchen! Erin French is an American chef from Freedom, Maine who has become quite popular recently with her show on the Magnolia Network, The Lost Kitchen. Erin's The Lost Kitchen restaurant is a 40-seat restaurant in Freedom, Maine. Erin uses ALL LOCAL products from neighboring communities and highlights farmers, fishermen, artisans, and all kinds of local folks on her show. Erin and her crew make the most amazing dishes and people line up for them! Erin also has a new show, Getting Lost, where she and her husband travel the country meeting other cooks, and chefs, and enjoy local specialties of that area. I highly encourage you to watch both shows...I bet you'll be as hooked as I am.

Erin French has written one memoir titled Finding Freedom: A Cook's Story; Remaking a Life From Scratch. She also has two cookbooks: The Lost Kitchen: Recipes and a Good Life Found in Freedom, Maine: A Cookbook and her second cookbook, Big Heart Little Stove: Bringing Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen. I highly recommend all the books. I really enjoyed the memoir and I love both cookbooks, but if I had to chose only one, it would be Big Heart Little Stove: Bringing Home Meals & Moments from The Lost Kitchen. The second cookbook is just more approachable for a home cook and if you've seen the show, there are lots of recipes in the book from the show.

Erin's books are available on Amazon and here is a link to her website, The Lost Kitchen!

Look for the IHCC site to change and update as we switch over to a new chef!
