Produktbeschreibung
´;[Kitchens of the Great Midwest is] the first novel about the emergence and current state of foodie culture Fundamentally, [it´s] about what happens when opposing personalities coexist: those who bake with real butter versus those who don´t, those who obsess over heirloom tomatoes alongside those who don´t even know what they are. It uses these categories as a way to look at one of the most confusing, liberating truths there is, which is that often the people we think we´re the least like are the ones we end up needing the most.´ Book ForumKitchens of the Great Midwest, about a young woman with a once-in-a-generation palate who becomes the iconic chef behind the country´s most coveted dinner reservation, is the summer´s most hotly-anticipated debut. When Lars Thorvald´s wife, Cynthia, falls in love with wineand a dashing sommelierhe´s left to raise their baby, Eva, on his own. He´s determined to pass on his love of food to his daughterstarting with pureed pork shoulder. As Eva grows, she finds her solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. From Scandinavian lutefisk to hydroponic chocolate habaneros, each ingredient represents one part of Eva´s journey as she becomes the star chef behind a legendary and secretive pop-up supper club, culminating in an opulent and emotional feast that´s a testament to her spirit and resilience. Each chapter in J. Ryan Stradal´s startlingly original debut tells the story of a single dish and character, at once capturing the zeitgeist of the Midwest, the rise of foodie culture, and delving into the ways food creates community and a sense of identity. By turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, Kitchens of the Great Midwest is an unexpected mother-daughter story about the bittersweet nature of lifeits missed opportunities and its joyful surprises. It marks the entry of a brilliant new talent.
