Seller Description
MIDWESTERN CHEF Lars Thorvald has three loves in his life-his kitchen; his wife, Cynthia; and his newborn daughter, Eva. When Cynthia falls in love with wine- and a dashing sommelier he's left to raise Eva on his own, and devotes his life to sharing his passions with his only child, start- ing with puréed pork shoulder. After a childhood shaken by tragedy, Eva will find solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. She is blessed with a once-in-a-generation palate and ultimately becomes the mysterious chef behind the most sought-after dinner reservation in the country. With a voice like no other, J. Ryan Stradal delves into the American heartland, sweeping the vast landscape of Lutheran church bake-offs, chili-pepper-eating contests, and the opening of deer season to capture the zeitgeist of the Midwest and the rise of foodie culture.
