I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Title: Finding Freedom: A Cook's Story; Remaking a Life from Scratch
Author: Erin French
Release Date: 4.6.21
Publisher: Celadon
My Review
I want to give this chef's memoir (with blurbs from Ina Garten, Joanna Gaines, Martha Stewart, and Stephanie Danler) a rave review, but I just can't. The cover is gorgeous and there are several great descriptions of food and working in kitchens, but the author's passive stance was frustrating to the point of infuriating. French's relationship with her father is painfully sad and she faces struggles (young mother, failed relationships, drug and alcohol abuse) but I don't find those to be very unique struggles. She has overcome adversity and I applaud her success, but I do not recommend this book unless you are specifically interested in reading a memoir about Erin French.
