The Lost Kitchen

I am astounded reading some of the bad reviews. Is this who we are now. It is a show about a woman who comes back to the small town in Maine where she grew up and opens a restaurant to celebrate the diversity of food in Maine.

One review questioned the low diversity on the show. A show is now unacceptable unless there is diversity - seriously. So a show in rural Maine must fail because the state is 95% white and there is no opportunity for diversity. That's insane.

There are many reviews saying her cooking is pompous and being critical of their efforts during Covid. This is everything bad about Social media, there are too many people that behave terribly because they don't have to say it to someone's face.

I enjoy it as a simple New England cooking show about preparing wholesome good food. When I used to live in New England I admired how everything they do: cooking, woodworking, etc is made with quality. This show celebrates that and I enjoy it for that.

I really enjoyed watching Erin come out of such trouble, I know how hard that is, and she did it. Great respect for that.

She and her girls work very hard to make the food the best they can. I would like to know more of their recipes.

I am anxious for the next season...

I absolutely adore Erin French and and The Lost Kitchen She is so inspirational and shares so much of her journey through food. Best series on tv right now.

Her book Finding Freedom is heart wrenching, beautiful and I couldn't put it down. I hope to one day visit the restaurant in Maine and enjoy her wonderful food. Just bought the cookbook as well and it is filled with delicious recipes I can't wait to try. In the series she demonstrates inventive ways to use seasonal ingredients and presents them in such creative and lovely ways with edible flowers like nasturtiums and violets. Love this show!

I loved how this show hit every emotion of Erin as well as my every emotion. Fear, hope, happiness, friendship, connection to where you live. So many emotions. The times helped with a lot of the suspense and emotion, but even episode 1 had it and it was pre-Covid. Bravo.

This show is delightful! And for hell sakes, it's about cooking. Expecting drama (as another reviewer was hoping for)in a show about food is utterly ridiculous. And calling the cast pompous and whiny is pathetic. These are women showcasing backroad farms (the backbone of this country), salty, humble fisherman and small town America.

I love Erin's menus, creativity, and the ambiance and beauty she and her staff bring to each meal.
