About the book:

The stunning third volume in The Lost Kitchen cookbook series from Erin French, award-winning restaurant founder and New York Times bestselling author of Finding Freedom, The Lost Kitchen, and Big Heart Little Stove

Erin French brings you perfectly crafted meals for dining outside the box and living in the moment in her latest cookbook, Seize the Supper. From her beloved home and restaurant, the Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine, come hearty main dishes balanced with crisp, bright salads and sweet and spiced desserts. Her well-rounded meals are made with true comfort and seasonal nourishment that are perfect for carrying you from shorter days and late-afternoon feasts to snowy winter nights sitting by the fire to picnics that welcome the blooming of spring.

In simple yet rewarding steps, French shares delicious recipes that will foster connection and inspiration around the table. From flavorful salads and sides such as Soft Polenta with Honey & Ricotta, Roasted Asparagus with Tarragon Vinaigrette, and Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese Waldorf to rich mains including Provençal Roasted Chicken, Fried Halibut, and Buttermilk Leg of Lamb with Fennel & Orange to irresistible desserts like Baked Vanilla Spice Puddings with Cherry Compote and Rosemary Maple Ice Cream, French’s recipes are filled with warmth, heart, and meaningful tips for embracing the joy of now.

About the author:

Erin French, a born-and-raised Mainer, is the owner and chef of the Lost Kitchen, a fifty-seat restaurant in Freedom, Maine, listed among Time’s World’s Greatest Places to visit and Bloomberg’s "12 Restaurants Worth Traveling Across the World to Experience.” With two New York Times bestsellers to her name, Finding Freedom and Big Heart Little Stove, Erin is featured in three seasons of the Magnolia Network series The Lost Kitchen and Getting Lost with Erin French, where she travels the country searching for new experiences and culinary inspiration, streaming on HBO Max.

Erin knows the importance of simple pleasures found in gathering for thoughtfully prepared meals. Her love of Maine and sharing its delicious heritage with dinner guests has garnered several James Beard nominations and the attention of The New York Times, Martha Stewart Living, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and Food & Wine, as well as NPR’s All Things Considered, CBS News Sunday Morning, and Today.

After more than a decade in business, the Lost Kitchen has become so much more than a restaurant, now boasting a farmer’s market, overnight cabins, a retail shop, and a café called the Little Lost Kitchen.
