The Lost Kitchen
Author: Erin French
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 0553448439
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author and founder of the beloved restaurant The Lost Kitchen comes a stunning collection of 100 Maine recipes for every season. “A sensory joy . . . simple seasonal fare, creatively elevated and beautifully photographed . . . 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.

My Life and Loves. Complete 5 books
Author: Frank Harris
Publisher: Aegitas
ISBN: 0369411552
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 1071
Book Description
The My Life and Loves is a controversial and groundbreaking autobiography of Frank Harris, a British-born writer and editor. Published in four volumes between 1922 and 1927, this book chronicles Harris's extraordinary life and his multiple sexual encounters with women from different social classes and countries. It is widely regarded as one of the most scandalous and explicit autobiographies of the 20th century, and continues to provoke discussions and debates among readers and scholars. Harris begins his autobiography by giving a detailed account of his childhood and upbringing in Ireland. He eloquently describes his early years as a rebellious and curious young boy, and his struggles to fit in with his strict religious family. Harris's candid and provocative writing style is apparent from the very beginning, as he fearlessly reveals his sexual thoughts and desires even at a young age. As he moves on to his adulthood, Harris takes the readers on a journey through his various professions and travels. He worked as a schoolteacher, a cowboy in the United States, a newspaper editor, and a friend and confidant to many famous literary figures of his time, such as George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. Through his vivid and descriptive writing, he immerses the readers into the vibrant and bustling cities of London, Paris, and New York, and provides a glimpse into the cultural and social milieu of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, it is Harris's sexual escapades that have made this autobiography a subject of controversy and criticism. He openly and unapologetically writes about his numerous affairs and encounters with women, including prostitutes, actresses, and even his own students. He also reveals his unconventional sexual preferences, such as his interest in sadomasochism. Harris's frank and explicit descriptions of his sexual encounters were considered scandalous and obscene in his time, and continue to shock and intrigue readers even today. Moreover, the My Life and Loves is not only a story of Harris's sexual exploits, but also a reflection of his philosophical beliefs and his quest for love, happiness, and fulfillment. He delves into his thoughts on religion, politics, and society, and examines the role of sex in human relationships. While some have criticized Harris for his promiscuous lifestyle and his objectification of women, others have praised him for his honesty and courage in challenging the societal norms of his time. My Life and Loves is a compelling and controversial autobiography that offers a fascinating insight into the life of a man who was unafraid to live his life on his own terms. Harris's eloquent and provocative writing style, coupled with his unapologetic honesty, make this book a must-read for those interested in literature, sexuality, and the social dynamics of the early 20th century. However, it must be read with caution, as it may contain language and content that is offensive to some readers. Overall, it is a thought-provoking and influential piece of literature that continues to challenge and inspire readers to this day.
