Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

Big Heart Little Stove
is your new go-to inspiration for cooking thoughtful and meaningful, yet refreshingly simple meals. With more than 75 recipes and her favorite hospitality "signatures," Erin French—author of The Lost Kitchen cookbook and the New York Times-bestselling memoir Finding Freedom—invites readers to bring a piece of her beloved restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, home with them.
With dishes pulled from French's family recipe box and the menu at The Lost Kitchen, ranging from irresistible nibbles like Pecorino Puffs and Gram's Clam Dip; to luscious soups like Golden Tomato & Peach and Potato & Lentil with Bacon and Herbs; to heaping platters of family-style salads and sides like Peach & Blackberry Salad and Green Beans with Sage, Garlic, and Breadcrumbs; to show-stopping main courses like Pickle-Brined Roast Chicken and Wednesday Night Fish Fry; to French's favorite all-purpose kitchen staples like Kitchen Sink Pesto and Floral Vinegar, this cookbook has all the tools you need for assembling a seamlessly special meal.
To round things out, there are beverages to sip as dinner comes off the stove (Fresh Fruit Shrubs, Slush Puppies) and desserts to make your guests feel truly looked after (Salted Caramel Custards, Roasted Peach Pie with Almond and Fennel). And because weekend mornings deserve celebrating too, there are feel-good treats like Sunday Skillet Cakes and Little Nutmeg Diner Donuts.
Regardless of whether it's a dressed-up affair or a quick weeknight meal, French's recommendations are the same: Start with the best ingredients you can find, keep it simple, and serve with love.
But Big Heart Little Stove is more than just a cookbook. With tips and tricks French has used in her own dining room—at home and in the restaurant—this book is your invitation to use what's around you to create meaningful moments, from setting a table with found treasures, to adorning dishes with edible flowers, to thoughtful gestures such as offering a cold cloth on a hot day. Full of warmth and spirit, Big Heart Little Stove will show you how to create more joy and connection around your table.

      The daughter of a rural diner owner, French perhaps had no choice but to open her own restaurant. Lifelong Maine resident French, author of the cookbook The Lost Kitchen (2017) and the memoir Finding Freedom (2021), here chronicles the growth of her dream, from cooking in apartments to an Airstream trailer, and finally, in her own bona fide space. Along the way, she charms readers with personal stories and a wealth of hints and tips found nowhere else. She insists on using fresh eggs, contrasting watery yolks to big, brilliantly orange ones. Salt must be the one that comes in the big blue box. She's particular about serving pieces, and flowers adorn everything from table settings and foaming rose silver polish to a list of edible flower varieties. More than 70 recipes illustrate the down-homeyness of French's cuisine: Gram's clam dip, chowder, Mediterranean mess salad, farmhouse pie (made with duck confit), glazed butter cake. Cook's notes detail what to do with leftovers and how to make dishes your own, and sidebars share French's culinary passions.
