National Writers Series: Erin French

Erin French’s first job was helping her parents at their diner in the small town of Freedom, Maine. Now she’s a renowned chef and, along with her husband Michael, owner of a destination restaurant in that same town, called “The Lost Kitchen.” The restaurant is also the subject of a reality series of the same name. Erin has written a memoir and two cookbooks, the latest of which is called “Big Heart Little Stove.” She talked with Cara McDonald, executive editor of MyNorth.com and Traverse Magazine, at the City Opera House in Traverse City.
